I wanted to do the body first as it posed the biggest challenge and whether or not I continued depended on the outcome of the body conversion. I will create a build journal so people can track progress and give feedback which I appreciate.

I'm sure it's not a simple kit. Two of my friend worked at advanced composits in Harrisburg and they would make a few vett bodies for speed world challange and my other friend was in design at Pratt & Miller. He designed the rims on the C6RS and other aero parts for maximum efficiency. I'm glad you said visually because those Corvettes really aren't Corvettes. There is a little 3" X 3" piece of Corvette frame (or something ridiculous like that) that is in the race body only because it's in the rules.
Good luck with the build.
