gseeds Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Here’s one I built after a real car that a buddy of mine painted the real car back in the early 70’s , my buddy’s name was Walt Prey , he also painted a pretty famous 64 Chevy impala named Gypsy Rose, also in the early 70’s, this 58 was named Sun rise Sun set , I loved this car as a kid when I first seen it in Hot Rod Magazine around 1973, so when a couple years ago I came across a resin 58 sedan delivery I knew I had to take a shot at trying to build one for myself, I did find a few pics on the internet but not many so I had to try and match the paint as close as I could, the side murals are hand painted , hope you like!

DonW Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Looks good. Oddly enough I was reading about Walt Prey and the Gypsy Rose in this month's Classic and Sportscar magazine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Love it. Looks familiar too. Gary, didn't you have an article about your cars in "Lowrider Bicycle" magazine several years ago and that car was in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
