Thanks guys for the positive comments. Robert, you are right, I should be putting some wear on those tires. From now on.

Thanks Guys for the positive comments! Mike, sorry I can't remember. It may be Testors silver chrome brushed on. Marty, you are correct. I remember it was a smaller skinny can by Duplicolor and that was the name.

Thanks Gents!

After months of working this paint job, I finally got something I can work with. This car has been stripped and repainted at least 4 times at this point. Lights installed BMF added and the interior installed/ First coat of Future has been layed at this point. After the second coat of Future Flip side. At this point, I am in a holding pattern until I can get my battery holder. This build has plenty of issues but as I said, I'm doing things here that I've never done before. I am extremely happy with the finish This is hands down the best paint I've ever layed -it's so deep. If you look at my other threads you will see what I mean. So far the body has snapped in multiple places and the finicky paint has cracked a bunch of times. Stay Tuned...

Outstanding job on that Impala. So clean.

I got the dash painted up and decided to light up the instruments. Next I painted up the doors and engine. I wired it with some pieces I found in the jewelry making aisle in the craft store. Then I built out the door. Keep in mind I've only built box stock models before and this is all new to me. Trial and error. Testing the light in the dash. Also added a TV. Bonus points if you can name the movie. After fighting with the paint (Rustoleum enamel) I finally ended up with something I can live with. Shown after applying Future. Mounted the suspension Added a switch for the electronics. Hollowed out the grille Stay Tuned...

I bought this kit around 2002. I planned on working on it with my 2 year old daughter. Well, things didn't go as planned and I learned I need patience. So, In the closet it went. Fast forward to October 2016. I pulled it from the closet and gave it a revisit. The more I fiddled with it the more I saw what I wanted to add or subtract. I wanted to do some things I've never done before like cut open the doors and trunk. Since I've never done these things before, this kit taught me quite a bit. The things I can do, the things I can't do and what to do when things go wrong. Lets get started... I knew at the very minimum, I wanted this stance and these Boyd Wheels from the Shezoom kit. I love the look from this view. To get the low rake in the front I flipped over the front spindles so they sit atop the frame rails instead of below. Then I smoothed out the firewall. Then I deleted the emblems on the rear quarter, the hood and trunk. I also removed the door handles although this pic show them. Then I added a new way to open the hood. It was stewing in my head for 3 days before I acted on it. It works pretty well. Also you see the spare HEMI that came with the Charger kit. I cut off the mopar transmission and mounted the GM one in place of it so the motor sits better. I also had to create motor mounts. Next I cut off the doors and trunk. This is where I begin learning. Hinges are tricky and what I finally ended up with, I'm not entirely happy with. I was just tired of working this step over and over and trying every option over and over. I quickly began to realize that I've created multiple weak points because they kept snapping. It occurred to me that I saw a video once on youtube about repairing guitar nuts suing baking soda and super glue. This trick works very well for model kits too. It hardens like concrete. Then I started thinking what if I made the lights functional. At this point I started thinking that I am never going to finish this kit. As you can see, there is plenty of room in the engine bay of a shoebox for a HEMI. Stay Tuned...

Down right killer! Love the paint! The wheels and brakes look perfect on this car.

Sorry to disappoint guys, not an Imp. Impala. Thanks for the positive comments. Here's the kit... I bought a new hand held tool because the battery on my cordless dremel is about to expire. It seems I'm charging it every other day. This was a bargain at 10 bucks at the local cheap tool store. I know it will break, I just want to see how long it will last for me. And it came with a bunch of extra bits. I used the new tool to make these cuts. I've never done an alteration like this before. I've usually just used the box stock wheels or found something from the parts box. These days it seems that wheel choices are pretty limited. Not that I don't like what's out there, I just get tired of seeing the same wheels everywhere. These particular wheels came from a Maisto R/C Camaro. I actually snapped all he spokes off of one of the wheels when I tried to pull it off. I managed to reglue the wheel back together and brushed on some fresh gloss black. You can never tell it happened at all. Stay Tuned...

I built this one over 15 years ago. I'm not sure of the paint. I kept this pit pretty bone stock. Just a few subtle changes like the accelerator pedal. I'm not sure what I was thinking or where I was going with that upper hose. Thanks for looking

Thanks guys. Jeremy, yes it's the Revell Special Edition kit.

I built this over 15 years ago. I'm not sure of the color code but I do know it's Duplicolor. I kept this one pretty much box stock. On this one, I applied a little bit of BMF on the emblems and I filled in the gap in the hood where the glue on intake was. I love the lines on the '60's cars. Thanks for looking

I finished this kit over 15 years ago. I don't know the col other than it's blue ;D I built her pretty much box stock with the exception of wiring up the under hood things. Back then I wasn't that much for painting up the emblems. I never wanted to make it too messy. From the first pic I can see that I added a pin head for a door lock. Too much light! GRRRRRR! Thanks for looking
