Can-Con Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Finally got this thing finished. It fought me at every turn for the last few weeks. Not my cleanest build but it's not too bad I guess considering what I was trying to do. I really didn't think I was going to like the front end but it kinda came together after the grille and lights were installed. Also. this is the Revell kit with the custom front and rear pan and tail light bezels from the AMT '65 Impala annual kit. The intake and valve covers are from the AMT '70 Impala. Anyway,, the pics,,,, Edited December 5, 2021 by Can-Con 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 That turned out pretty cool. The clear hood is a nice touch. The nose has a little Corvair look mixed in with some 67-68 Firebird. Was the injection intake part of the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painted Black Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 That is a beauty, love the fade paint. The wipers are a bit of a distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 WOWSER.....that is pretty kewl. The front end looks nice. To me I can see a hint of a Corvair or a shark. It's just me. Either ways it's pretty kewl. Really nice looking paint and I love the detail in the business end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy grumpy Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 You have a talent for styling, this could very be a concept car that GM designers could have come up with in the 60's. I also love the color and the shading. Elegant and balanced. Simply beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie427 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Outstanding build Steve! Very tastefully done, one of the finest examples of integrating the styline parts and making them look natural. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Hi Steve! Great results, bravo! One has to think this is what the GM designers would have drawn, if the corporate bean counters would had let them... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kah puts Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Give yourself a pat on the shoulder, you deserve it. We don't see many full Customs nowadays and yours flows so well, with color and styling and impeccable build quality. Congratulations.

alan barton Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 What a beautifully balanced model! Not a jarring line to be seen. And I like the clear hood - it takes it from Winfield Custom to Corporate concept car/ motor show exhibit in one fell swoop!

Spottedlaurel Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 That's come together really well. The front end looks great, I can think of several 1:1 cars that had a similar look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Turned out very well! The paint work is spectacular. I love seeing tasteful builds using the radical custom options of the 60s....that clear hood is actually pretty sweet too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
