59 Impala

A real nice save. I like seeing builds like this. I made a short bed out of one of these trucks to replicate a truck that I owned. Great work Mark. Dan

Sorry bout that. It is the 9th and I changed the date that I had. The 17th was last year. My Bad..

This is the second car and second paint job trying to build this car. I do like the color combo on it now that it's painted. Thanks fer lookin. Dan

Thanks guys. This is another one that I like. I didn't know that this was Rex's Champion car. Good to know. Dan

Thanks guys for the kind words. I really enjoyed building this car. The 59 Impala is my favorite car and Jim Reed won the Darlington 500 with this car in 59. Dan

Thank you George. The decals were made by a friend of mine who has passed away. He was the owner of Red Pegasus Decals. Dan

Thanks guys for the kind words. Yeah, I liked watching the races back then. Now, not so much. Now, it's hard to tell the difference between makers of the cars, cause they look so much alike. Dan

This is Rex White's 60 Impala that I built. I like the old NASCAR's of yesteryear. Thanks fer lookin. Dan

I built a replica of Jim Reeds 59 Impala that he won the Darlington 500 in 59. I also included a picture of his car at Darlington. I really enjoyed building this car. Thanks fer lookin. Dan

Here ya goTom

Thanks Tom. If this is ever made again, I would like to get one. I really don't mind if there is a slight difference in some of the parts. Dan

The one I drove was in the mid to late 70's. The one I saw in the link is so small I can't really see what it looks like. The picture won't zoom to see it better.

Thanks Mike for the information. I'll check it out.

Does anyone know if there was a kit made of the 68 Ford f 600 stake bed truck? I drove one back in the 70's and would like to build a replica of it. Thanks in advance. Dan

Yep, that's the quote I remember but couldn't remember it the other day. Thanks for reminding me Jim.

Was the Savana a sub? I saw a Sub in Naha Port and almost got in trouble taking a picture of a guy cleaning the conning tower. I also got to take a tour through the same sub. Of course I had to keep the camera closed at all times going through the sub. Yeah I was told the Army had more ships than the Navy. Go figure. I really don't know if that was true or not.

Thanks Mike. This was my first all Lacquer paint job using fingernail polish. The colors are Caribbean Blue and Mystic Metal. I also used Red Oxide primer underneath the colors. I was very skeptical about using Lacquer paints but went ahead and did it and I'm happy with how this turned out. Dan

Thanks Antonio. I really like using this stuff to repair broken or missing parts. By the way, will you be going to the CARBS show this coming Saturday in Fairborn? I plan to go.

Thanks guys. This was a lot of work to get it done.

This was re-built from one that was in horrible shape. I was given this car to "FIX" it. I wanted to build it stock but, it was in to bad of shape and so I ended up building it as a custom. There are pictures of the re-build in the on the bench section. I hope ya like it. Dan

Nice save Snake. I just love to see glue bombs re-built.

Thanks guys, this was a challenge and I liked what I had to do to "FIX" it as Dave (the guy who gave this to me) said that I had to "FIX" it. He liked how it turned out and said that I just might get another glue bomb to "FIX". I like this type of challenge though. Keeps the 'ol noggin working.

Thanks guys. I have a few more to do, but, all of them are no where near this bad to start with. Dan

Thanks guys. Mark, can you post a picture of the Buick. I'd like to see it. I wanted to rebuild this stock before I saw what condition it was in. It was so bad that I didn't think that it could be done, so, I just used it as a custom. I think it turned out better this way and so did the guy that gave me the car.. Dan
