59 Impala

Here are some pics of the finished cars. I painted the Corvette the original color that it was painted back in the 80's. The Dodge is painted Plum Crazy.

I'm glad that this was helpful to someone. Thanks for all the kind comments.

2 more days to the show.

The 18th is getting very close. I'm looking forward to a great show.

The Jeep I drove while stationed on Okinawa 67-70.

My 63 Datsun that I had while on Okinawa from late 68 to New Year's Eve 69.

Replica of my 61 Impala that I had. I installed a 283 instead of the 409.

My 1959 Impala sport coupe. 348, 3 speed on the tree. I converted the Revell 59 from an automatic, power steering to a 3speed on the tree. Removed the power steering stuff on the frame and no power brakes. Added a clutch and removed the automatic stuff on the steering column. Changed the bell housing and the transmission is a copy of one from the 57 Chevy. Added a 4-barrel carb instead of the 3 duces.

Looks great Chris. I like it.

Nope, sure don't. I had this before I went into the Army back in 1966.

Replica of my 57 Chevy 210 2dr sedan.

Thanks, Charles for trying.

Does anyone make the White decals for the 61 Old Reliable?

Just finished the poll. Thanks for caring.

Thanks Bill. I posted this for a friend. As long as he is ok, that's fine with me. By the way, how are you doing? Did you see the 60 Impala that I used the 59 roof on that you sent me?

Does anyone know where Ron Hamilton is or herd from him?

Very nice replica build. Looks great.

1956 Packard Executive 2dr hardtop.

Nice pics Chris and Kit. Both boats look awesome. I do like the two fish on the hook Chris.

Thanks. Someone said that the decals should be Blue. Not sure which is correct, Red or Blue.

Here's one that I like. Canadian "Tin Indian".

Thanks Carl, much appreciated.

Thanks guys. There is very little information on this car and most of the other Knafel cars that I can find on the net.
