Tail lights look spot on to me. Did you build this kit from the beginning? Or was it already started?

55/57 Cameo build W.I.P.

Guess it's a bit late to suggest chopping that top, huh? I've got a resin chopped top mated to the stepside, but don't like the way it sits in the frame. Yours is looking amazing! -

Did you use a Jada to upgrade the car as well? They've got a nice front bumper and grille, same scale -

Awesome! Way to go! -
Thanks Carl!

It's been a while since I've updated. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in this, but that's ok - I think it's coming along nicely! Got it painted and the main body assembled. I tore one of the decals, so this could be Buddy Baker's, depending on which side you look at! LOL. Used a pin for the shifter. Not really happy about the cover, but it's a start. Looks too heavy to me. Comments are welcome!

Can I ask where you found the spec sheet (post #1)? -
Where did you get the boot?

Got some work done on this Impala. Here's the story: I ordered this kit, knowing it did not have instructions or glass. I couldn't find any replacement glass, but did notice the '55 truck glass fit ok. So I chopped the top off, and started thinking about scratchbuilt convertible NASCAR. Progress so far:

The spear wouldn't be too hard to replicate and BMF -
Thanks, Bruce!

I'm starting to work on a '58 Impala to replicate Buck Baker's convertible. I've found very few reference pictures. Where can I get more information? Thanks.

Steve: is this a scratch built hauler?

First trade with vintagedragcrazy. Thanks, Vince!

Bring on the pics!

Awesome build! I love the '61. Keep up the good work!
-
Thanks, all!

I never noticed that!! Lol! Now I need to decide to leave it, or trim them up!

Here's a shot with body and interior. I'm having a little trouble with the engine placement. Made the ride height a bit high. Back to the drawing board. REMEMBER WHEN Testors put fragrance in their glue? I guess they did that back in the day so kids would enjoy modeling. But of course, folks started sniffing it for a different experience. Anyway, when I pulled this old glue bomb apart I could still smell the "lemon".

Scott, the blue is Model Master's Lacquer Nassau Blue Mettalic, which is really a satin, and I decided not to clear coat it. The roof and interior side panels are ivory, and the spear and seat inserts are Model Master Light Sea Gray

I'm actually working on a rebuild of that one now. It's one I had originally done in the '70's
-
NOW I remember why I didn't like this kit. The doors are killer! They are in, but they are tight. I don't like the gap in the panels, but unless I come up with something quick, i'm keeping it this way I ended wet sanding the glue off of the windshield, then polishing, buffing, polishing, haze removal. Much better than before!
-
Me, too. Ended up having to carefully clamp the chassis and body while the glue dried.

Andre: Cool color! I actually commented on that one. Did you ever finish it?
