  1. That’s too bad ( wow you guys shot that one down quick )
  2. Yeah I just bought it because the car was pretty nice, but yeah how oblivious could someone be to put a Ford Logo on an otherwise Chevy product
  3. Thanks for all the info guys; I might just let them be; it’s not terrible but I just figured if there was a simple way I could just do that but it sounds like I better just leave the chrome alone.
  4. Pontiac was pretty cool they shouldn’t have died out
  5. See anything odd about the package art for the ‘61 Impala?
  6. Now that’s nice. Those were front wheel drive; pretty cool.
  7. Not this ad you're describing but I have been getting some rather risque ads on this site (actually made a thread "the questionable ads on this site") but only when I visit the forum on the ipad. Got and ad blocker on the 'puter so no disruptions but on the ipad it's just all the time those ads. Crazy stuff though. What the internet holds.
  8. Thanks for all those tips and advice guys, I appreciate it. Funny thing about using the '57 Chrysler 300; I do in fact have the kit but as of this typing I am building the kit and am basically done building it already so I can't really use the one I have now. Once I get the Imperial kit I'll figure it out; I've already come up with a custom idea for it even though I don't actually have it yet. I'm sure I can do something neat with it.
  9. HanderChief was a great Chief at one point but now he's a lazy bum.
  10. Originally built this in September but was never terribly pleased with it. In the original post of this car I only had three blurry and rushed photos of it and felt it really didn't get a fair view so I did some cosmetic changes and took better photos of it, today. I put the stock front end on, as I originally had the mild custom front end, and I also "blue washed" the rims as I just had black washed them originally. Hope you like my re-do version of Show Gal '61. Also the lowered suspension brackets came loose (probably because I didn't glue them) so this thing now has optional air ride.
  11. The chrome bumpers on my '59 Lincoln kit are lookin' a little oxidized; not terrible but compared to fresh out the box chrome it could use some shine. Might be a dumb question but would I just use chrome polish or is there some sort of other way to bring the shine back to those pieces?
  12. I guess another question I have would be (if I use the DeSoto engine) what would the clearance be beneath the hood; the engine looks a little tall for a low car like the Imperial, and obviusly I'd like to not cut a hole in the hood.
  13. This could work too, as I have this kit with the engine already painted, just not assembled.
  14. A successful roof removal off my '57 Chrysler that yeilded promising results for the convertible conversion. Took me an hour or so last night to cut it off, started around 8:20pm and got it off around 9:15pm. Also cosmetically altered my '61 Galaxie as I wasn't terribly pleased with it but now I am. Also painted the exhaust on the chassis of my '59 Lincoln.
  15. I guess I shoulda put the picture of the engine in question
  16. Yeah it would be more of a custom; the engine itself is custom
  17. I've been spitballing a possible idea if I get the '59 Imperial kit; I know it's a curbside so no engine, but my '53 Ford Truck kit came with a DeSoto Hemi that I did build and put into that truck. Thought that might be a nice engine for the Imperial, but not sure if I could get that engine in there though. Again, it's just an idea; I don't even have the kit yet, but this idea is the deciding factor of whether or not I'd buy the kit- if I can get an engine in there, I'd pick up the kit. Has anyone ever done something similar; just want to know how that would go if I did that.
