Levacar. Never seen one in the flesh though. Later-

Thanks guys for the support! Looking at Central City or somewhere near that area. I always thought that the 67 made an excellent lowrider candidate. I may have to cut the tops off. Haven't done much for the chassis work yet. Got the first coat of primer on parts last night in my 34 degree garage! and then straight into the humidifier for about 4 hours. Didnt look too bad coming out of the dehydrator. Did some wet sanding of the primer on the body and hood just now with 3200 grit. Going to shoot a second coat of primer tomorrow and another stint in the dehydrator. Then we will see how it looks. Thinking the interior will be a white with just a tint of rose color. Later-

Well, that's great! Then it won't cost so much for you to ship me all of those great older builds and kits... Lol. Yeah, that's the problem with the late 60's to 70 Impalas. Huge wheel wells. I've got some large diameter wire wheels but they are definitely not period correct. Later-

Thanks Luke. Not sure what they are as I found them in a tub of wheels from my buddy's stash I inherited. I'd say that they are Pegasus, considering the back of the wheel looks a lot like how Pegasus wheels are designed. I'll probably level it out. Thanks Tuffy. Thanks David. I agree! Thanks Zippi. I'll have to look up the Kindig-It door handles. That sounds like something I have in mind for another project. However, this one is going for an Old School look. I want to keep this one simple. Something to work on when the house is empty. My biggest problem is going to be spraying the paint. It has been between 2-38 degrees here with about 8 inches of snow. Later-

Here are the tires and wheels. It would be nice to get the stance this low or a touch higher. Got all of the filler work done and sanded tonight on the C pillar mold lines, the sink mark on the rear fender and where I shaved the door handles. Later-

Last night I got all of my parts together. I got the minimal flash removed from the body and scribed all of the panel lines. I found one sink mark at the rear of the driver's side fender. The previous owner had started the chassis work and I'll have to see what work needs to be re-done or completed. Later-

So, I am in the process of packing everything for a move from Washington State to Kentucky and I have almost all of my WIP's packed up. Since I will have some time sitting in an empty house at both ends I have decided to pick a new "simple" project to work on. Earlier this week I got a couple of 67 Impala parts kits (Missing wheels/tires and engines) and a new can of Tamiya Pearl Light Red from a local buddy. I thought a quick build of a 67 Impala would be just the ticket. As I was prowling the "innertube" looking for ideas, I came across this example that, including the color, was perfect! I dug through my tire/wheel stash and came across a set of narrow white wall lowrider tires and Cragars. I smell a project coming on. The plan is to keep this one simple, perhaps even curbside. Later-

Thanks. Got it for $15. So, quick question. Is this a promo or an annual? I assume it is a promo since it has the vehicle specs on the chassis. Would have been something a dealership gave out- correct? I can never remember which is which but this makes the most sense to me. Later-

Picked up a few things today. From HL I got two cans of Testors Extreme Lacquer in a color that I've never seen or heard of before-Tropical Turquoise. From a local friend I picked up a rebuilder MPC 73 Challenger, some 67 Impala parts, a can of Tamiya Pearl Light Red and a promo body, interior and chassis of a 62 Galaxie 500. Later-

Went through the garage and reorganized/ packed kits and magazines to prepare for my move from WA to KY next week. Shipping container should be here on the 11th! Panic, and the realization that I have WAY too much stuff, is starting to set in!! Later-

Got a bit of filling and shaping done on my 41 Ford COE car hauler. Filled in between the Cab and the fender with some styrene on both sides and got the rough shape finished on the passenger side. Later-

Thank you guys! Moving from WA to KY and plan to enjoy working with my wife at home. Later-

I'm retiring next Monday. I was cleaning out my locker at work and found these! SCORE!! Later-

Did about 30 min of work last night on my car hauler. Cut 37 Chevy rear fenders up to mold into the fronts. (Thanks Casey!!) I think I may need to remove the front of the running boards and lower the rear of the fenders. Later-

I talked with the guy and he doesn't have a site. He just does it as a hobby for himself (I persuaded him to make them for me too.) Later-

Got these in the mail today. In a trade with Bismark I got the Willys and from a FB site I got the wheels and tires. Plan is to put the tires and wheels on a custom Aluma Coupe or 33 Ford. Later-

Got this in the mail yesterday. Sealed inside. Other than the tear in the box top its in excellent shape. Later-

Will do. Later-

Thanks guys for the input. I'll give a few of these a try (scribing, dremel, and hack saw). Although I do have one of the old school large classroom paper cutters, I think my wife might be upset at me for that. I have a few different sheets of this so trying a few things is possible. Later-

I have this brass plate that has an interesting pattern. I want to use it for the ramps and bed of my car hauler but I don't k ow the best or easiest way to cut it. It is about 1/32 inch thick so I won't be able to cut it with most of the hand tools I have. Any ideas? What do you use to cut stuff this thick? Later-

Thanks for the info. I've seen some 3D printed frames. I'll have to.look at getting one or two. Later-

Beautiful.work and details! I love the color too. I may have missed it but did you modify the frame or is it a resin? If you modified it, which kit was the frame from? Great work! Later-

Oh, I love a nicely styled 36 and this one looks like it is going to be a stunner! Nice work on lowering the front sheet metal. I'll have to remember that when I get back on mine. Later-

Sweet looking set up. Nice combo of parts. Should turn out great! Later-

Beautiful build! Love the shot of the chassis too. Going to have to get me one or two of these. Later-
