I ordered Rodney Dickman's lowering ball joints but that won't happen until D1S tweeks the Corvette 13" brakes. I have three pipe dream ideas but, I can't make up my mind. Plus I don't know the exact measurements of them. The fall-backs are the ole standby's---C6 side markers from #015.

Rear rear lamps wrap around to the side which means I won't use the stock GT tail lamps but, we'll see.

It reminds me of the lyrics by, Salt N' Pepper's, "Oh baby, baby-baby."

Everyone knows that scoops have to be symmetrical side to side on a car.

The problem is how do you make them symmetrical?

Well here are the scoops, you tell us how we made them symmetrical inside & out.

excellent lookin job but loose the 1/4 glass and make a nice set of scoops in there place would look fantastic

Thanks. Are you referring to the side sail glass area (actually it's just a painted cardboard, hehe)? Hmm. Good idea.

Lots of time, measuring, patience and walking away when the need arises.

exactly the area that needs the scoops

quote Originally posted by bubbajoexxx: exactly the area that needs the scoops

Thanks. However, it'll have to wait until the side sail glass in place.

Actually it was easier than that.

Guess again. (Clue: look in pictures from the last 6 weeks for hints)

Archie

My guess is that the cups were used as templates.

"You may be a king or a city streetsweeper, but sooner or later, you dance with the reaper."

Did you use a spray bottle to make the vents?

I hadn't noticed the spraybottle.....Good one 4.9!! I will have to change my answer to that and take the next 7 minutes to reevaluate my life for my lack of observation.

The clues I give are too good.

When I won that big box of Meguiar's cleaning supplies at FieroRama, people thought I didn't know how to use cleaning supplies

Note how the bottle is symmetrical side to side & the neck would allow a Left & a Right to be made from the same style bottle.



After trimming both bottles the same & attaching them, we glassed them into the panel.





After we cut a bit of material out of the panel at the distal end of the scoop, we went inside the bottle with a razor knife & removed the bottle.......

Archie, that is an excellent example of making something out of nothing !!

Very clever. Your guys do an awesome job.

I agree....at least how it looks right now. Maybe the completed car will have a different look. Now the hood just appears way to high.

I'm guesing it will be cut down like in some of the photochops.

have faith gents. The car isn't done yet. Trust in the wisdom of the mad arch connection

I'm not a big fan of the height of the hood... I think it should be knocked down a bit...

EDIT agh my photoshop picture isn't working. I'll fix it later.

Like i said before,....the madman doesn't roll gutterballs.

The front will be just as special as the back.

Here we go, I lowered the front of the car a bit.

EXCELLENT!!!!


However, the hood scoops will follow along these photoshop designs.





EXCELLENT!!!!

Both photoshops are excellent and both go beyond the normal photoshop and captures the Mad-Arch game plan. You're photoshop skills will not be wasted nor forgotten...trust me. Once #020 is finished (I hope), everybody from "Archie and the Crew" -to- "ALL Photoshoppers", and even from the constructive comments (they're needed to keep a person on track and to prevent "Homer-Moble-tunnel-vision) will be able to say, " Hey, I had a part in making this car."

Btw, Bubbajoexxx suggestion is still ringing in my ear. Thanks Bubbajoe.
