IMPALA SS 427 Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) well i have a little progress: inside fenders painted black engine bay painted dash redone and steering wheel modified using a 70 impala and the 58 impala ones. all glass in (except front screen) I removed the hideous mold lines in the side of the bumper and re chromed it with BMF and swapped the white walls for a better set and gave the rims a fresh coat, i also drilled out the bolts and replaced them with pin heads which looks much better.

W-409 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Excellent conversion! It's nice to see these Biscaynes and other "Poor" Model Chevrolets being built also. Nice job with the rear end, I guess that conversion would be too hard for me. Did you make the top higher? To me it looks like Chopped, since Biscayne and Impala had different tops. But I guess I wouldn't have done it any better, so Big Thumbs Up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Awsume work and progress James. l just foiled a 58 chevy. Thought l would never finish. Keep up the good work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Pretty cooool James! With the paint and foil it will be a car. Like the progress - and always wondering about your RHD dash. Nice "little" detail. Only a small point, that i would chance. I think, the b-pillars are to thick? I know, this coversation is a loooot of work and the result will be perfect. just a notice for upcoming builts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMPALA SS 427 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Thanks everyone Dominik - yes the b pillars are a bit thick but this was my first or second? attempt at making b pillars, I did notice they are a bit thick after finished painting the body but this came out a lot better than my 67 impala (the roof was rough on the 67) and at the risk of doing damage trying to alter them i just went with it, I appreciate your opinion and hopefully my next will be better. I have started another project and i will be working between these. Edited April 29, 2013 by IMPALA SS 427 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
