Description
Actually, I thought Newbie_Renderer meant he wanted the black and white competition paint. While "Welcome to My World" plays on the radio, we can think back to when evertyhing good appeared secretly before it became a production option. My sister had prom dates for both the junior and senior prom and my parents did not chaperone her. Gary Ewald was the son of a fill dirt trucker and Bill Campbell lived in some new houses just off Irwin street. As you can see I did the paint in color though the photos you can look up for 1956 would show US GP colors as white with a double blue stripe. The side coves were extra. Now the story of the 265 fuel-injected engine bored out to 283 is complete.

So wonderful render!
Impressive car and very sensual girl....!!!! Excellent done....!!!
Great scene !!
The car (great machine) looks as if it's seen better days or is it the reflection of the ground? Overall great picture.
Awesome!! She seems ready, set, Go!!!!
I once walked down to the pits after a race of new model stocks at the State Fair Grounds on 8 mile in Detroit. I was amazed at how what had looked from the stands like pristine machinery was just shiney fresh paint on what looked like wadded up tin foil that had been smoothed out with a lot of wrinkles remaining. I suppose I see that as a badge of honor for competitive machinery. I only saw one other example and that was a CONVAIR 880 we were about to board in Dayton, Ohio. It had apparantly been through a hailstorm and the engine cowlings especially were whacked and pounded back after being beaten flat with pall peen hammers it looked like. It was a hanger queen and after all of it's flat tires were changed we set off to make a "whifferdill" on approach to LAX as the autopilot "sought the sea." I admit to being more than put off. I did sense the end was near as we knifed through the clouds all akilter.
Excellent work!
Love the Vette in the compition colors. Used to watch them race are a piece-meal circut at the ole metro stadium in Minneapolis. Hard tires, little to no safety, was just in awe. Jay
Dear Dale, Ive got a little extra time this morning!! The simulators are having computer trouble - imagine that!!! Trust me, the last place you want to be is in a full motion simulator when its throwing a fit!! You can get bounced around worse than a carnival ride!!! It was acting funky yesterday afternoon, too, so we cancelled the session and I went back in the evening. It was OK then, but this morning its griping again!!! So Im treating myself to breakfast in the hotel coffee shop - and eating French toast - and destroying my laptop keyboard with powdered sugar!!! Wi-Fi should probably be banned from restaurants!! Particularly for messy eaters like me!!! Ive had more than one smarty pants refer to slopping the hogs - and Meredith!! Isnt that just ducky????? While Im on vacation and doing pilot training, Im going to need to continue doing a lot of cut and pasting with just a tiny little real comment added!! Im really sorry, but I just dont have much time right now to write my usual wacko stuff! Ill be back on March 3rd!! I've read about them racing on the beach! Quite a difference from the super speedways. Really neat job of getting the car in racing trim!! I went to a local dirk track a couple of years ago with THE Boss. The cars did look rather patched together close up!!!! Super job on the scene!!!! Love ya!!! Meredith
wow, you've been to 8mile, where the rappers play..;) Actually, I thought they had lakefront races on the beach of the Great Lakes back in the day.
Very cool scene and model. I like the paint job!
love this paint job
Very sleek!
I tend to have my head down and not look up at what is going on abouot me so I here will note there are two games on the market covering three gaming platforms other than the PC and someone has a 3D model of the 1953 for sale on the net. http://reviews.cnet.com/Corvette_Game_Boy_Advance/4505-9975_7-30960549.html http://www.google.com/search?q=1953+Corvette+3D+model&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&start=30&sa=N http://www.the3dstudio.com/product_details.aspx?id_product=19947 http://xbox.ign.com/articles/401/401889p1.html
