59 Impala Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I just finished this today. It is a Jimmy Flintstone resin body and I used parts from the 49 and 50 Ford kits to finish it. The paint is Gold pearl powder in clear on top and Copper pearl powder in clear on the sides. on top of that I sprayed a multi colored glitter on and that doesn't show up in the pictures. I also used Gold bare metal foil for the side trim and I used Tamiya clear yellow on the chrome parts for the Gold look on them. Thanks fer lookin.

Sixties Sam Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sweet looking custom! It has a late 1950s - early 1960s look with that front end. Very good work!Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59 Impala Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks Sam, that's what I was going for, a 50's or 60's look. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Beautiful build. You really captured the early '50's Custom look. Very original paint scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59 Impala Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks for the kind comments guys. I enjoyed building this car. I had to learn stuff the hard way though. After I painted it, I had to adjust the inside of the body so everything would fit. It turned out Ok and I'll do more test fitting if there is another next time for one of these. LOL.
