59 Impala

Got a couple pics for and update.  I worked all week putting these decals on this car.  They are Fred Cady decals.  Nice, but I really don't care for the two part decals.  But, these are the only ones available, so this is what it looks like on the left side.  I'll install the decals on the right side this coming week.  I'm not in any hurry fer sure.

Here it is with the Gold letters on with other decals.

Here is the Black letter outlines installed over the Gold.

There are a few things that are wrong with these decals.  The outline letters for the Knafel Pontiac is Red on the sheet along with the line under the Gold stripe.  I had to scan these and then print them as the Black outline and stripe.  Akron Ohio should also be Black, but I'm leaving that as is.  Also, the Gold for the Indian is the wrong color but I'm leaving that as is also.  I do like how this is turning out so far. 

Thanks fer lookin.     Dan

Well, I got a little more work done on this tonight.  I'm almost done with the body work.  Here are some pics as it is now drying hanging upside down so no dust bunny's gather on top of the body. 

This pic shows where I had to do a little work because of sink marks.  Bummer.

More sink marks.

Now here it is after painting.

This one I like cause there is no seam on the body where I had to cut and install the top.

Now I have to figure out what I'm gonna do about the chassis for this build.  I don't like the one in the kit at all.  But, I may have to use it anyway.  We'll see.  Thanks fer lookin.     Dan

NICE project Lewis!   

Yeah, that's what I thought.    Dan

Thanks guys.  I'm not sure what I'm goin to do about the chassis yet.  I thought about using the chassis from the Revell 66 but I don't have a spare.  I'm sure that I'll get something figured out before I get er done.  The Revell chassis would need some work to get it to fit but it is a way better one to use fer sure.  We'll see what happens.     Dan

Well, I finally got some more done on this car.  I had some trouble with the Black paint and had to paint it three times before I was satisfied with it.  Here are some pics of how it looks now.

Mocked up in White.

After sanding the Black for the second time. 

This is how she looks now in all her glory.

I can't wait to get the decals on and see it as the "Tin Indian".  Thanks fer lookin.     Dan
