W-409 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Very nice Impala. Your paint job is excellent and sharp BMF work finishes it off. Nice detailing in the engine, too. X-Frame Chevrolets are always nice to see and especially if they are built as nicely as this. Only thing I would have done different would be the wheels, those Steel Wheels just look "Right" to me. But of course it's just my opinion that doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan S. Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Well, Dad loved his Impala and is proudly displaying it in the house. Thanks again for all the comments and kudos, they mean a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdkingjay Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Fantastic build Ryan. It looks great. Aside from resto's this is my favorite type of build. Replicating someones car as a gift/tribute. Just completed a '59 Impala ragtop for a very old friend. Never get tired of these types of builds!!

58 Impala Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Great job, nice gift. Did one for my dad several years ago of his baby blue 58 Impala for Father's Day. He loved it, couldn't have bought a gift that meant more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fun9c1 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Very nice! I'm sure that meant alot to him! I just bought the Lindberg '53 Ford Victoria to do the same thing for my dad. Unfortunately he does not have any pics and I would like this to be a suprise, so I'll have to get info out of him without being suspicious... I love the subtle weathering you did. Looks very real. Two questions: are the wipers seperate pieces? If not, how did you get them to look like they are? Also, How were the gages and speedo done? Are they decals? Or did you make a deal with the devil? Super nice detail work all around. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
