  1. Very nice model. Those that give the most trouble during the build are the most satisfying when completed. I want to know what the designers were on back in the 50's! This, the Buick Riviera, not to mention bat-wing Impalas and the 59 Caddy. Those were some good chemicals.
  2. I love Art's history lessons. It is good that this knowledge does not get lost in this era of electric jellybeans.
  3. Sweet! Great job on the paint and foil. Your friend is very lucky.
  4. Great work, I love it! This may just be my favorite year Impala (total 50's excess) and you did it justice.
  5. Very nice. This is one I'd love to see re-issued. I've got the 2D coupe but like this one better, can't afford the Fisher Patterns kit.
  6. Factory stock, my favorite category. Excellent job, and I love the gas station setting.
  7. Great trio, all very well done.
  8. Seriously, your first build ever? Please tell me you've done planes or trains or tanks or SOMETHING! I'm feeling pretty bad about myself about now . Joking aside that's a great looking truck. Clean, smooth, and shiny paint, careful detail painting. Very nice.
  9. FINS are IN! Love it.
  10. Very nice replica. There were a lot more Belairs and Biscaynes than Impalas on the street back in the day.
  11. Great work, very clean and nice foiling. I like it a lot!
  12. Wow. Excellent model. Would someone post this to the recent argu, er discussion about scratchbuilding? I can't even imagine working in 1:75 scale!
  13. Nice model. I'll bet weathering techniques from aircraft help a lot when you're slumming on an auto.
  14. Nice model. Definitley wouldn't want to choose off on the street!
  15. Thanks Neil, I'll check it out.
  16. Nice! Where'd you get the hood ornament? Love the WW, 5 spokes, and 6 shooter.
  17. Where did you run across it - news stand?
  18. Beautiful car! Love the color, nice clean foiling. Great job.
  19. Nice clean work so far, I really like the seat. AK was one of the good ones, gone too soon. I think he only had the Hooters sponsorship for one year?
  20. Looks good. Why is there blue on the tires?
  21. Thanks everyone for the kind words.
  22. The Cordovette is awesome! The others are cool too! Any more pics?
  23. I've had this kit in the stash forever, started it years ago but never finished. Dug it out after Christmas and stripped the awful paint job, rebuilt as a curbside. The chrome is not perfect but I touched it up and it looks OK on the shelf. Just a quick (for me) build to get something completed and keep the motivation going for the other 3 on the bench. Comments welcome, thanks for looking.
  24. You had an excellent year! A man after my own heart with all the Impalas.
  25. Great model, the '67 is one of my favorites and you did it up right.
