Beautiful job! You've encouraged me to finish mine. I've got the same kit WIP, mines going to be blue. I also shaved the front bumper. How did you get the front that low? I've been messing with mine for a while, the back is easy to get in the weeds but the front is a different story.

That's the nicest paint job I've ever seen on plastic, It looks like a 1:1 showcar. That shine will blind you.

Beautiful job! Great color combo.
-
Very Nice! I'd love to have that 1:1 in my driveway.

WOW! Look what I got!

Very Cool! -
Hey Barbo, Sorry I didn't get to meet you. I was busy working and enjoying the show. I asked Delaun if you had showed up. He said yes and that you had left already. I'm glad you enjoyed the show. There was alot of nice models on display,the club worked really hard on the diorama to make nice. We're looking foward to doing it all again next year. 58 Impala

Barbo, You are more than welcome to put the flyers for your show on the registration table. We are more than happy to help other clubs advertise their shows. Anything to gain exposure and promote the hobby. Tom (58 Impala)

Just bumping the anouncement again. The show is less than 2 weeks away. Hope to se you there.

Nice! I'd defenitely drive that in 1:1.

I'm an Andretti/Green fan, they are all good drivers. I think Marco could have waited instead of giving Tony nowhere to go but up in the marbles. They're teammates for Pete's sake. Marco should have waited for the straightaway to make a run on Tony. They were doing almost 220 in the corners, things get ugly pretty quick at those speeds. I feel bad for Danica, she had a good car and would have finished well. It was a good race and I enjoyed it. Those Ganassi cars and drivers are the ones to beat, reminds me of the Zanardi/Vasser days.

Same here, I'm not really into lowriders. But I really like 58 Impalas. Very nice job, great detailing, nice color. Those 58's are definitely a BMF challenge.

Nice job! Love the paint job! I have a built original of that kit as well as a reissue. I always wondered how that kit would look as a normal Top Fueler. Now I know. I may have to try that someday.

How's everyones gas prices?
58 Impala replied to forthlin's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
$3.59-$3.65 here in central Florida, and it keeps creeping up. This rediculous inflation of oil and fuel prices is really slamming the economy. -
Nice job so far,you picked a nice car to copy. I like the wheels, they look good. I'm looking foward to seeing more.
-
Just bumping the anouncement reminding anyone who might be interested. Also another bit of info,our show area will be a diorama display area. We request no display stands or mirrors. We have plenty of room for the models. but not stands and mirrors. Another reason being, at the recent IPMS show in Titusville we had an incident where a stand was accidentaly dropped on someones finished model. Fortunately the model was repairable and was displayed, but it raised a bit of unecessary tension. If you attend the show, your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Indycar Season Opener At Homestead
58 Impala replied to 58 Impala's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It was an F1 game, but maybe it wasn't PS3. It might have been PS2, Xbox or Xbox 360, I'm so confused . My son probably has every game system in exsistance. I'll have to ask him which one, all I know is he has a steering wheel for the game which makes it fun. -
Indycar Season Opener At Homestead
58 Impala replied to 58 Impala's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Real racecar drivers do know how to turn right. All kidding aside, I do watch Nascar. I love all types of motorsports. My favorite Nascar races are Sonoma and Watkins Glen, I wish they would do more road courses. That is some fun paint trading to watch. -
Indycar Season Opener At Homestead
58 Impala replied to 58 Impala's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
F1 is just Awesome, the technology, the speed. V8's screaming to 19,000 rpm. And when you mention Spa, I think Eau Rouge. One of the fastest corners in racing, that whole track is exciting. I like racing Spa on my son's PS3. -

Well at least we still have F1 on speed. OOPS! maybe I shouldn't have said that, we might wind up with 24 hours of Nascar -

Indycar Season Opener At Homestead
58 Impala replied to 58 Impala's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nick, I love watching rally racing. Those guys are insane. I was mad when SPEED took it off their schedule. -
My son and I went to the opening race for the IndyCar season at Homestead Fla. I can describe it all in one word, AWESOME! There was a 26 car field, it's great that the two series came back together. Homestead is a nice track, we had great seats. I have been a fan of open wheel racing for a long time and this was my first time to an Indy race. I have been to the Daytona 500 and all I can say is "sorry NASCAR fans", open wheel racing blows them away. The speeds are unbelievable, the noise is deafening and the wheel to wheel racing exciting. My favorite driver Tony Kanaan almost won except for an unfortunate incident with 8 laps to go. He was really haulin the mail and would have easily won. Oh well thats racing! We are definitely going again next year. Open wheel fans, we are in for a great year of racing.
