jsc Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm starting to work on a '58 Impala to replicate Buck Baker's convertible. I've found very few reference pictures. Where can I get more information? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsc Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Got some work done on this Impala. Here's the story: I ordered this kit, knowing it did not have instructions or glass. I couldn't find any replacement glass, but did notice the '55 truck glass fit ok. So I chopped the top off, and started thinking about scratchbuilt convertible NASCAR.

jsc Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 It's been a while since I've updated. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in this, but that's ok - I think it's coming along nicely! Got it painted and the main body assembled. I tore one of the decals, so this could be Buddy Baker's, depending on which side you look at! LOL. Used a pin for the shifter. Not really happy about the cover, but it's a start. Looks too heavy to me. Comments are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Great idea John , and you're off to a good start ! I don't think I've ever seen a Buck Baker '58 Chevy before . And don't think nobody is interested . Things are pretty slow around here and a lot of people just stop by to look and don't reply very often ( I'm guilty ! ) .
