Turned out fantastic. This should go on museum for automotive art.

This era GM is very nice,my personal favorite is the 65 Impala 2d ht. Thanks for posting the pictures and wheel info. I think i have some 14" inch steelies somewhere,but it`s another story with the hubcaps. Or i could use from the 62 Bel Air but it would maby be wrong.

I want to get it done,but at the same time try keep cool and not rush anything. Since you have built one i guess you know all about how time consuming trying to get things to fit is. I agree,i`m a big fan of GM cars from this era,as for the Mopars i like the 63-64 and then again 68-73. Thanks,hopefully it will look alright,just need to get it to sit like i want. Not going to detail more then ignition wires,heating and cooling hoses. I`m not there yet as for fuel and brake lines,i just admire those who do so far lol.

The sidebar pic and model gives you an little idea Body is cleared and turned out okay. Not putting any big wheels on this,it got original brakes so there is no need for it. I put some redline decals on more time correct tires. Not sure why it looks like there is somthing white on them,there is not. %&/) camera! Dash done,firewall and radiator support painted. Stupid question maby,but are the original wheel 14" inches on these?

Nice start. Should attempt at build an Mustang some day. -
It looks amazing,great work.
-
Brian that looks really good.

Okay i might try get it to fit. I also think it will look cool with cowl,but will see. Actually the bumpers who followed was good on this,but that`s about it. Here are a little progress,engine is 454 with 4 speed manual. Some interior is also done,i might try to use flocking on floor and behind the rear seat,where you put you`re hat lol. Not sure what it is called in english. I might paint the firewall and inner fenders satin black. Engine mock up.

Thank you all for the comments and interest. Tom i had no idea these where made in kit form,i thought it was an modified Impala or somthing. The bland or ugly (taste is subjective) colors would be cool on an sleeper today. Stan i checked out you`re build in the under glass thread,how on earth did i miss that one,it looks really mean,love it. Did you use the Monogram hood or the lump in resin that followed in resin? Much of the detail in the tub and the scripts on the body where more or less gone,it`s no way it would be possible to foil it,so i sanded clean,and i have one photoetch set laying around i can hopefully use. rickcaps55 i dont remember the seller name,but i suspect this is left overs or somthing that maby was not good enough for sale thru the person who made it. Thank you,luck will be needed Thanks Carl. The 70 is meant for this Cannonball Run 2014 community Builds. The interior is more or less done,painted,decals put on and some foil. The decal sheet from the donor was destroyed ,it looks like its been in water before. I got the idea of taking a sheet from a sealed mint 65 2 door hardtop,but the sheet in this kit is completely diffrent,no instrument decals,so i order a sheet from Keith Marks,then i also will get 427 "sticker" for the air cleaner. The engine is pretty much done besides wiring and plated parts. I`m not sure if i want the rocker covers plated or engine color. Since it`s no replica it maby does not matter,but i kinda like factory looks. I will try take some progress pictures later today.

Nice,i like you are going to keep it stock.

Started some months ago,got it painted today and just letting it breathe before clear goes on. Not sure who casted this but they did a sloppy job. The tub was garbage and so was the chassis,i bought it off Ebay a year ago. Maby some left overs who went wrong? Anyway,did my best with getting the body decent,and i used the Monogram Impala Convertible chassis,firewall and tub. The tub had to be modified a bit,also got to replace the area behind the rear seats. I know the doorpanels and rear seat will not be correct,but i had no option,will use bench and correct dash. The idea is to fill in the rear seat,and the use seat pattern decals for front and rear,this will hide the inserted chrome "thing" in the rear seat. Have not decided but i guess it will end up with steelies in body color,hopefully anyone makes nice dogdish caps for this era chevy. The engine will be an 454 or 427 and maby an mystery motor air cleaner from Scenes Unlimited. Ok,here are some pictures of paint. Dash and low cowl hood. Thanks for looking and comments/critique are welcome.

Very nice. Good looking cars these aerosedans.

Nice stance. Looking forward to see body painted and mounted with the nice interiour and chassis.

Shiny and great foil. How do you foil the taillight surroundings with not getting a mental breakdown?

70 hemi cuda "what if" build * July 19 update. Very close now

Looks great. Did a convertible but not half as shiny and nice as this. Are you going with hockeysticks? -
Good looking and shiny.

Thanks for the tip John. Nice looking engine William,great detail.

Things where going kinda good until i unwrapped the grill,then i realized i got screwed on Ebay. It clearly said 1:25 scale and Johan,but it`s obviously an 1:18 grill from some sort of diecast. I had no way to check this out. The resin grill is gone,i had to separate it from the bumper to fit,also if i was to crome it myself.but the grill cant be saved. Well,so i got tired and annoyed so i ordered grill,lights and bumpers from Modelhaus. This means this will be on hold for a good while. Also i noticed i dont have enough BMF,another great day lol Anyway,here is how the exhaust will look like,also sanded the slicks. Engine more or less done,needs more touch up on the firewall. Dogdish from Missing Link,looks pretty good.
