ModelcarJR Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This one is done. Paint is Tamiya Light Blue Metallic and interior is Krylon Ivory. Nice body, interior, engine but the chassis rear suspension is terrible and the axles are too short for the stock version. I was disappointed with my foil but there isn't much I can do about it. I used some painted chrome ink on the taillight bezels but they are too wide. I would have used foil and trimmed it down but couldn't with this sheet.

happy grumpy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Gorgeous Impala. Great details on the engine. Call me nostalgic but there are times when I really miss those yesteryears where these where everywhere. Really nice job you did. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Good looking model all around. Did you go with the "too short" rear axle as it was, or did you add spacers behind the wheels? Looks pretty accurate as it sits. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModelcarJR Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 Thanks, all! I appreciate your comments! Rusty, I wrapped the axle ends, the portion that is supposed to click into the wheel, with tape and then glued the wheel to the end of the axle. Thanks for looking! 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWT Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Very nicely done! I built this one a few years back (not my best effort and the rear suspension fought me) I hope to try it again one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Beautiful Impala John , love that color ! Looks like you managed the foil issue just fine . Too bad we have to deal with such things , just remember we're all going through the same thing . Like everything else I suppose with some practice it will get better .
