YES THIS CAR LOOKS AWESOME AND SO DOES THAT FLOCKING JOB ...WELL DONE BRAVO !!!!
ONE QUESTION ABOUT THAT GLUE IS IT AS FORGIVING AS REGULAR ELMERS..IF YOU SCREW UP CAN YOU PEEL IT UP ????
Sadly it is not. However I have never had to try either. With it being a spray it goes down very even. It really gets into the coners well. With Elmers bottle glue my conners were always a little thin. Hope this helped.

Update.
First time to plumb anything past the distributor. It was fun to do. I may try it again if the mood strikes me like it did here.

That thing looks so really I think I am getting Lock Jaw!!!! Looks great

With those wheels you can not go wrong !!

Man, your work is very clean and nice
Please, tell me how did you put the flocking??? It is very well done…. Soft and smooth.. no coarse...
If I can give you a tip, a little extra attention to mold lines can make your model pop up to our eyes…
It´s simple and quick… a x-acto and file does the hard job…
Thanks for the tips Drago. I will keep a fine eye out for those pesky mold lines in the future. To answer question about the flocking I use Elmers adhesive spray. I simple mask off what I do not wanted flocked then I spray it with the adhesive. Next I sprinkle on the flocking and spear it around so that all s cover. After that I start to press it into the adhesive. Lastly with a old worn out toothbrush I brush away the excess. I hop this helps if you would like for me to posta picture of the glue I can.
Thanks again
That paint and the interior details are looking good. Keep it going, it's going to be a sweet ride!
Thanks Cranky for the encouragement.

Today's progress
-
Can someone please check my pulse!! I think I have just kicked the bucket.
:o -
I got a lot of work done on this over the last few days. I get some of my best work done while on business trips setting in my hotel room.
-
Thanks for the coments guys.
-
That is sweet!!

Pro Street Tire are from the Chevy Dually. Tamiya paints and a little bit of BMF. Was a quick and fun build. I had a few polishing problems were I tried a little to hard and burned through. O well.
-
Paint is down! Champagne Gold Metallic is my new favorite color. The insert on the side is white if you are wondering. Still can not figure out the interior color for the life of me. Any idea on the color would be great.
-
Got the body painted and worked on the surf rack. WHile working on it I thought why not try to scratch build a new exhaust so I have started and got to this point. If any one has any tips for this pass them along.
Thanks
-
Got some more done today.
Added some PE battery cables and some parts box decals to give the engine bay some help.
-
Here are some progress pics.
Wheels and Tires
Mix up of items here. Pegasus wheels on Pegasus tires and the fats are from the Chevy Dually kit.
They really fill up the big wheel wells on these Jada kits.
Some Engine detail before the rest goes on.
-
Nice color
The Lindberg kit is one of the best Impalas´s line available in my opinion.
You should think in change those wheel for Pegasus or Hoopin Hydrus... The improvement at the end will be visible quickly
I think I would have to agree with you. I think it needs a set 1109's. However all of the local shops do not carry them.
-
Lindberg kit will be built mostly box stock. I will add a few extra things here and there. However my goal is a Simple and Clean lowrider nothing crazy.
This will keep me busy for a while.
-
Just for fun.
I will post more pictures from the build later when I have more time to. I am quite happy with this kit.
-
Here is a truck I am building for a for the year long build off.
Scott II "Surfers Dream"
It will get a "slight" lift to it but nothing crazy.
-
About 90% done. Got the BMF, windows in, and the body/ interior put together. Also got the ride hight set to what I want. All that is left is to mount the front and the rear bumper.
Is that low enough.
-
And you know sometimes that's enough. I don't know if this happens to you folks but sometimes I just want to build something simple and with less parts.
I agree with you 100%. I love to build a low peice count kit or a snap tite just to break up the madness.
-
This thing is crazy!!!!!!!!
-
Well I have finished polishing the body and I can not bend my right trigger finger. But I think the outcome is worth the pain. You tell me though.
-
This has always been a favorite of mine. You truly make them all look so easy t build. Add another kit to the shopping list. Looks Great!!
