Knocked it outta the park! that is SO clean. Really nice work

Looks fast standing still! Gorgeous looking car and you nailed it with those tasty wheels! I'll have to check out Steve Zimmerman. Thanks for the tip.

A great tribute to Hippy. That is one fine build. The interior is beautifully done, too.

Superb! I also can't believe there's no clear on that gorgeous paint! top job on the foil, too. I love these old cars but there's so much chrome! yeah man. I dig this immensely

That's really nice. I especially like the vinyl interior. You can almost hear the squeak of someone getting in. great photos too. They do your excellent build real justice.

Amazing! Very unique indeed. I reckon this would be an awesome hill climb car. Pikes Peak sort of thing. really well executed. Top work.

That's how it would look if it was mine. looks fast standing still. very crisp build. I love it

You did an excellent job on this kit. (Are you sure the photos aren't of a 1:1 car ?! ?) I was thinking about splicing one of these with a Porsche front end, but this kit is fairly expensive for experimenting on. So maybe not. however, having seen yours built up, I'm tempted to just build one box stock, and hope it comes out half as good as yours.

Yeah, I like their play on words with that, too.!

I love these cars and this kit. You nailed it with yours. And your photography makes it look like the original brochure photos, or something. Thumbs up all-round ??

Man that's a very crisp and tidy build. I love lowriders, I've done a couple... Great colour scheme. A good mix of classy and cool.

Thanks for all the encouragement and comments everyone. I nibbled away at it for the past week and got it finished and Under Glass ?

Unique and cool in equal measure! are you going wild with the paint? I see flake and endless lines. Proper trippy!

Did a test fit of the custom grill and lights. The bumpers have terrible chrome and needed sanding back to styrene in many places. I've also just discovered that the rear bumper is factory damaged and will need filling/repair before I can use it. It looks like it was pulled from the mould carelessly and has deformed.

Thanks buddy I'm glad you like it. the nail art decals are water slide, just like regular decals you'd get with a kit, and behave the same way. Very simple and easy to use.

I did something stupid. I wasn't thinking properly when I used rattle can Matt clear over the Tamiya acrylic paint. It started to create tiny holes in the paint. I quickly blew it with some air to dry it before the damage got worse. Then had to remask areas and repaint the affected areas. Luckily it wasn't too bad and you can't see it now. The Tamiya matt clear with X-20A thinner worked perfectly. I flocked the carpets and added a tachometer. The flocking turned out to be a good colour match ??

Couldn't resist a quick mock up, to see if it matches the image in my mind's eye. Glad to say, it does. This shot was taken pre- sanding. Rattle can clear is hard to beat.

These one-piece interiors take a fair bit of masking. This one took about 90 minutes to tape up. it looks a bit shiny, but I'll knock that down with some matt clear. then molotow pen on the dash, seat buttons and door trim.

Thanks Espo I'm glad you like it. Cheers Eric give it a go, mate. It's great fun! Thanks buddy got another week or two left in this.

Fantastic custom kitbash LSD trip of a build, David.! I love it. are you going to rivet some panels? Archer fine transfers, do 3D waterslide strips of rivets, welds and louvres (but you probably know that already)

Yeah, that floorpan/chassis looks great in multi-tone black. I'm a big fan of Impalas. Not built a 65 yet. Looking forward to seeing yours done. Especially the interior..

Man! That worked out sweet! utterly unique and cool

Looking good, Pete! This is going to look great on your shelf ?

Top quality work. I always enjoy watching your builds progress. Such excellent attention to detail. I love it.

That looks great! I love the shade of purple and those old school caps suit it well. Stance looks good, too.
