  1. I'm still leaning toward my decision to use the original wheels from XStuning. Here's the front seats sans seams. I got some color on the body. I airbrushed MM British Racing Green metallic, building up the color slowly. I dropped an airifle pellet in the jar to keep the flake agitated. Once it dried for about 6 hours, I clear coated with MM High Gloss Clear enamel. It looks smoother in person than in the photos. Thanks to no humidity, and the now luke warm Nevada sun this will be ready soon. I'm thinking a good rub with Novus and this will be almost perfect. G
  2. Very nice. That's a hard body to paint with all the nooks, crannies, and trim. Ya did good. G
  3. Nick the GTO wheels arent really big enough. The real ones are 15", I think, and look lost on this car. Now the Camaro's wheels are a thought............... Thanks! G
  4. That '64 sounds like a plan Greg, I'll peruse the sets. Thanks! G
  5. Hans, it never really is off topic. Significant others have quite an influence in and on our lives. Buckets are done, pics to come. Hey guys can I get some ideas for wheels? I really don't want the kit wheels, so where should I look? G
  6. Actually I'm on #4 ! #2 did manage to take my '03 Dodge Ram Quad cab. Cancelled the order on a Mercury Marauder otherwise she'd have gone after that. #3 left without claiming anything important to me. #4 is quite a keeper. G
  7. I'm looking for PE Impala emblems, specifically ones small enough that would look good on a bucket seat. I want to depict embroidered emblems on seats. Any idea on what sets would work? G
  8. Thank You Sir! That's what I wanted to do, so hearing that made my day. G
  9. Well between work and life in general all I've finished so far is integrating the GTO rear seats into the Impala. Here's a mockup of the interior. I used the GTO wheel and column, front buckets, and rear seats. What ya can't see is the GTO's pedals and I haven't placed the shifter yet. The GTO buckets need a lot of seam work yet. The front end has been modified to allow the LS1 to sit realistically in the frame. A coworker has a GTO so were going to pop his hood for references next Wednesday. G
  10. Looking good Felix! What did you use for the zimm? G
  11. Thanks guys, I'm going to re evaluate the wheels and post some more as time permits. G
  12. As a former PLC graduate I say Gung Ho! My lovely wife of one year had a steak dinner waiting and presented me with several kits as birthday presents. Man this one really "gets it". I'm done with the first bottle of wine as of this writing, and ready to Charlie Mike with the second. My boss is gonna S@#% when I drag my sorry a$$ in tomorrow still, ahem, "under the influence" HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARINES!
  13. Oh how happy I am to have spent another day in the Marine Corps, where every day is a holiday and every meal a feast. God bless my Drill Instructor and God Bless Chesty Puller wherever he may be. Gung Ho! Ouhh Rahh! Aye Aye Sir! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Semper Fidelis G
  14. Nice, really brings back the memories. G
  15. Thanks guys. Since I always wanted a green SS, I'm thinking British Racing Green with a tan interior. I was not fond of the gray/green color on the original, so that's my plan. I'll use brown flocking for the carpet, and wood grain accents on the console. G
  16. Well I promised an auto build, so here it is. I had planned a '32 roadster with all the period pieces, but gbk1 started his luscious '32. Ok, I'll prevent overload and do a muscle car, naturally three guys started Mopar builds. So here's my new project, an Impala SS that shoulda been. I always wanted one of these once I drove the real thing. The police version was the same without the fancy interior, and did I love that car. Trouble was wife #2 vowed to take any and everything in the divorce, so all I'm left with now is the plastic one. Let's start with the obligatory body/wheel mock up shot. Progressing onward this once simple build spiralled out of control. Searching for an upgraded engine I found the LS1 in a Polar Lights GTO kit. I wanted to stay true to the concept, but those interior pieces from the GTO just sat there talking to me. So out came the Chevy back seat, and in went the GTO's. Front buckets too. That's where I'm at right now. G
  17. Nice, real nice! G
  18. Ditto all the above. G
  19. I just got the Droid 2. I can access everything, everywhere, but still haven't figured out how to make a gd phone call. Sheesh........... G
  20. I actually started a car! Poking around in my man cave yielded some custom wheels I bought for a long forgotten project. I had my eye on a Revell Impala SS kit just lying there so I decided to build an SS that I'd drive. I had ordered a green '95 SS when child #3 announced her presence. Oh well that's life I guess. This will be the car I never got to own, British racing green, tan interior, Corvette LS1 engine and custom wheels. Stay tuned. G
  21. I can not recall anytime the exhaust was replaced on any police car I drove. Maybe constant running combined with the stainless was the clue. G
