58 Impala

Guys, don't get me wrong. It is a fantastic build, I appreciate all the work that went into it. At one time I was into model railroading for awhile. Those guys know how to weather and detail stuff. The traction engine was very nicely weathered and detailed, I bet this guy is great at dioramas or building beaters and ratrods.

Just received issue #137, great issue. I have one complaint,7 pages on a steam traction engine?! It was an interesting story but I think the subject matter is more suited to Model Railroading Magazine. Does anyone else feel the same way? I would rather see that much space for car features,how-to's,reviews,or show coverage.

It took almost 50 years for someone to break Fangio's 4 in a row. I think it will be almost impossible to break Schumi's 5 in a row. There is way too much competition these days for any one driver to be that dominant. Besides there is only a handful of any kind of race car driver to win 7 championships in their given series.

WOW imagine the possibilities! Do you think that thing could save the model companies money tooling up new kits?

Musclecar look I'd use the rallyes, for the custom look definitely the chrome steelies.

The show is tomorrow, hope to see some of you there.

Absolutey awesome custom! Beautiful job, very sleek, I love the color.

Just bumping the announcement, It's going to be a good car and model show.

Here's a couple of other choices if you have that kind of disposable income. BMW M3 series -good quality,great handling,good looks,peformance.Same for the Lexus Is350,Audi A6,TTcoupe,Infinity G35 coupe. These are all new car choices to consider. Just my opinion

Fantastic build. Again I ask "Dave,with all the outrageous builds you do,do you ever eat or sleep?"

Nice build. Those old cars do have alot of chrome. If you want a real challenge BMF Amt's 58 Impala, that one took me three nights to finish.

Very nice builds. Good looking paint jobs. I would probably make a good dent in my own collection if I could just settle for box stock with a nice paint job. But when I start to build something, one detail leads to another and another and I have to modify this and I have to change that etc etc... Your builds are encouraging to just sit build something simple.

I agree, I think Barrett Jackson has ruined it for the average guy to buy a old American car for a decent price. Now only people with more money than sense can afford these cars. And you're right, every Joe out there thinks his rusted piece of junk is worth a small fortune.

I saw Nuge along time ago, (loudest concert I've ever been to)my ears rang for three days. It was a great concert. I still have a button from that show, it's says" If it's too loud, you're too old."Ted Nugent. "Stranglehold" is the most kick butt rock song ever, IMO.

Nice job. As simple as the Revell kit is, it can still be built up nice.

I had a nice quiet Christmas, my son gave me a gift card for Hobbytown. My wife, mom,and nephew gave me gift cards for Lowes,and Home Depot. Which I promptly went out yesterday and bought a new Dewalt 12" compound miter saw and Dewalt mitersaw horse. They will make my house renovation and woodworking much easier.

Beautiful Job! Dave with all the execellent builds you do, I have a question. Do you ever eat or sleep?

I've been wanting the Red Baron kit for a while. I missed the last reissue. I wish Revell would repop the Uncertain T.

I love watching F1 and I really miss WRC. To compare the two is kind of like apples and oranges. They are both very demanding forms of racing but are very different. I used to love watching Schumacher drive, he was like a robot. Very precise and very few mistakes. Probably my favorite WRC driver had to be Marcus Gronholm- THE GUY NEVER BLINKED!-he was unreal to watch. I have to agree, rally drivers have cajones made of steel. I wish Speed would bring it back.

Beautiful job so far Dave, looking foward to the other half of the project. If the F1 kit wasn't that great, you sure fooled me! Nice job, Tom

Very nice classic looking build.

Looking good so far Dave. I have wanted to do this build myself. I got the same idea as you did after watching that show on Speed. I enjoyed seeing them driving something totally different. Gordon was a pretty quick learner,and we can all see now that Montoya has become comfortable in a Sprint Cup car. Keep us posted on your build, I'm looking foward to seeing the finished product. I just might be tempted to pick up those kits myself.

Thanks Dave, I didn't realize the contact page had changed. Tom

I'd like to have a current Web site or address along with products and prices. I would like to have a couple of those Top Fuel wheel sets for some of my builds. Anyone have any info out there?
