Curious, who made this Fury body? Can't wait to see what you make of it!

Nice job so far! That is a really clean build there. The dark gray paint is handsome on that body, and should help the chrome trim really pop!

Well done!

Hard to imagine a more perfect color for this; it just works so well! Nicely done.

I LOVED building the Aurora movie monster kits, and had Frankenstein's monster, The Creature from The Black Lagoon, Dr. Jekyll/Mr.Hyde, Godzilla, and this one. This is the one that fired my imagination the most for some reason. It was my hands-down favorite. Nice job on yours, and thanks for the memory jog!

I think it's funny that your truck is carrying tanks, but the door decals proclaim "Arc Welding"! Where's the arc welder?

Very clean build! Do more!

Very nice color combo; the top adds just such a nice splash of color without detracting from that sweeeeeet silver!

OOOOooooooooohhh yeeeaaah.

Beautiful and imaginative! I really love your builds!

Really impressive how well that body style responded to the top chop. Loving this!

Oh yeah! That silver really flatters the body. Keep it coming...

Is your interior tub squarely seated? It appears your chassis is being "pushed" rearwards, both front and rear tires are nearly touching their respective openings at the backside. This kit is a very old molding, and has its share of problems, BUT they can be overcome. You might need to file a bit of plastic away from the front side of the rear wheel wells, and/or from the bottom rear portion of the interior tub (see where they touch, at the seat cushion area?). Also, check those round "holes" that locate the interior tub, behind the rear package tray. You may need to file them back into a better version of "round", again, as this is an old molding. That should help bring the chassis closer to center in the wheel openings, then you can judge other fitment issues more accurately. Adding plastic pieces to the inner fenders is pretty basic modeling stuff, but if this is new to you, don't be afraid to tackle it! I would locate some stiff paper to use to make patterns, then use those to make custom fit extensions to hide that space that bothers you in the wheel well. ( I like 3x5 index cards for drawing/cutting patterns. Manila folders also work well.) This saves your valuable plastic, as paper is easy to cut, re-cut, and fit as much as needed before tracing onto plastic sheet. The support you want may be as simple as a short stack of small squares of sheet plastic, or trial and fit stub of sprue attached to the top of the front inner fenders, so that they contact the underside of the horizontal, flat part of the front fender. DRY FIT EVERYTHING! Time spent now will reward you with a satisfying stance. We're all pulling for you...

I think you guys will be pleasantly surprised when you try craft acrylics for interiors. It tends to dry to a very convincing vinyl-looking finish, and can be brushed on just fine. ( Thin coats, with a short dry time between coats) OP, that color is NICE! I may have to find some for a custom '70 Impala I've been wrestling with, so thank you for bringing it to my (our) attention!

These are looking VERY nice! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Nice! just out of curiosity, have you tried it with those control arms flipped over? Seems like the lines would flow more inline with the frame. Beautiful work so far..

Looks like a lot of cars I've owned. ( Just needs more oil leaks and lots of dust! ) Nice job so far!

The rear "bumper" is a neat idea! Cool build.

The rust finish on the two front hatches is particularly convincing; well done!

Nice! Agree with your choice to change out the wheel/tire setup; MUCH improved, and look especially perfect with that color.

I NEVER get tired of that style of paintwork, and the '58 Impala was built for it! BEEE_YOOO-tee-fulll.

Funky and fun! This captures the spirit of hot rod customs perfectly; it looks like a cover car for an old issue of "Rod and Custom" magazine!

Nice work! I love how authentic this model appears in your first photo; not instantly recognized as a model, but more like an actual car. VERY well done, and the red is just beautiful on this body.

This custom has a really cool look about it; also digging the proportions of your sedan delivery chop. Keep it up!

Very well organized, and a great idea! Thanks for posting!
