58 Impala

Awesome work Randy, very inspirational for the rest of us. I have a couple of questions, what gauge nickel silver sheet do you use and where do you purchase yours from? Thanks.

I love the Rodders Journal, I've subscribed to it for the last several years. Quality magazine, great articles and photography. Great reference for anything street, rod and custom. The historical articles are very interesting. I look forward to every issue.

Here in Central Florida, no sign of mine.?

Will be watching my mailbox. Looking forward to reading it.?

Beautiful job.?

Ed, it really is pretty easy. First find the center point of the axle and the outer most points you want to go to on the axle. Then keep spliting the difference to make the spacing even and so you have the same amount of holes on each side. Find the right bit depending on the width of the recess in the I-beam that will look right. But before drilling the final size holes, I drill smaller pilot holes so my final bit size doesn't wander. You could practice on a scrap piece of styrene to get comfortable with drilling the holes before doing on your kit.

I just take a fine tip Sharpie and mark out the spacing that looks good depending on what size drill bit I use.

Nice survivor, I built that kit yeeeaars ago. Wish they'd reissue it if the molds still exist.

Very nice ride. We had a two tone green 54 Olds when I was a kid. Unfortunately it was a 4 door.

Looks great. Patiently waiting for mine. Also ordered Ed's 32 Ford PU roadster body and up top.

Neat idea, look forward to seeing the finished build.

Weird but cool, nice work. Don't think I've ever seen a flat 5 engine.(5 velocity stacks)

Very nice build.

Cool interpretation.

Wow, sweet build. Nice save.

Nice clean build.

Just wait till the dust settles and they'll be available. Same feeding frenzy happens every time.

Just read an article saying the 2020 Corvette is sold out already (people putting down payments on pre orders) based on Chevrolets projected run for the year. Wow.

Stunning job.

Cool. And the guy saved about 35-40 million. Lol.

Pictures don't always do justice, looking forward to seeing one in person. But so far I like what I see.

Nice job!

That's one of the reasons I build models, I can own every car I love for pennies compared to what a 1:1 costs.

Very cool!
