Most likely started in the 60s but never finished and shortened,the original chassis was gone so I shortened one from a 56 F 100 and addeda Lincoln engine from a old AMT T kit along with the suspension from a 68 Camaro kit. The same person started the custom 56.

A blueish color

Due to the heavy flake I presume it was started in the 60s.

Not really wanting to buy another kit to get the parts but might see if I can modify the hood.

Almost there, battery and exhaust.and will be done

My friend gave me another bag full of thrift store models and included were two ,67 Impalas,thinking about building one like my grandfather had which was a regular Impala and not a 427 SS so I am looking for a regular hood and hubcaps to rebuild one like his old car.

It's a restoration and thought it was a promo but was told it's a Craftsman jr.

The engine is the Lincoln from a old AMT T kit with a 4 speed added

I picked it up missing the rest bumper and need to find it.

Getting closer to being done,got the hood open so I can add more detail to the engine now.

Its done.

Never heard of the Craftsman jr series.

Going to watch this rebuild as I have one that needs a rebuild too,I am thing flathead from the 36 or 40 pickup and the stock rims from the original 40 pickup kit if I can find some.

I picked it up at a model swap meet missing the bumpers which I had,I think it's more like a promo since the hood does not open and the windshield frame is molded to the body.

I wish I knew the history on this but I found out the original builder has passed away.
