Default the next 'vette (body #4)
well i got my 4th corvette body from oramac earlier this week and just got home today to tear into it, literally. it is going to be a beater body, but of course i cant have anything thats ugly, so i'll be painting it to look like a decent car, and i already did a targa top conversion to it for a little added bonus since i cant just cut into my nice bodies.

PICS:
these are right when i got the car so i would have some before pics, it came with all the body parts except a hood and headlights which i have



about 2 hours later (including an hr break to go eat) i ended up with this




i've cleaned up the edges a little since the pics with some sandpaper and it looks pretty decent now

on to picking how i want the body to look
choice #1: all stock with BK hood (painted headlight covers not clear)

choice #2: all BK parts and car painted the same blue as the bk (also painted headlight covers)



let me know what you guys think (remember, its a beater)

sounds like you have a pretty good plan, but i doubt when your done it will end up a beater body and become another shelve queen.

you may be right if i had a complete stock bk i'd make this one match the maroon one and have a targa and coupe version, but the plan for this one is still full bk and blue paint (i always have a stock body i could use for a beater if i have to)

thanks for the comments everyone, i should have pics of it on a chassis soon enough, i'm going to go mod the body to fit now

EDIT: pics on chassis



these are all exactly how the car looks right now

its an O bud, naturday sounds like some kind of treehugger holiday haha

yeah i just upgraded the motor in this beast to the one that i had in my avalanche x-truck (BB can, s2 arm, and iso mags) and it'll move pretty good, but not really a whole lot better than a normal s2 which i had in it before

i got it painted today, decided it was staying a beater body and scrapped all plans for body work and went straight to paint, it turned out fairly nice, but still the worst paint job of all my corvette bodies

i decided to do a little photo-shoot and get pics of all my vette bodies together, and a couple close ups of the stock vette since i never really show it off

first the targa top




next, the stock body, rear mount has not been modded yet (polished with 3M rubbing compound)




and all of them together (red one is the only one on a chassis)

That blue is downright sexy. I'd love to have any of them, you're one lucky guy to have all four.
