  1. Turned out very nice especially considering what you had to start with. The tires also look good.
  2. Very nice aggressive looking Impala.
  3. Beautiful looking build. You should include an attachment so people who didn't follow your build can see how much you changed the basic kit around.
  4. Great to see the young lad learning from the master. I like the mud splatter, seems appropriate for the time of year.
  5. This glue bomb reminds me of something out of the '60's with the jacked up stance. Looks fairly complete and I'm sure you're going to strip the paint. The slicks you have look good but unless you intend to open up the quarters for tire clearance you might want to start planning a narrowed rear end and some inside wheel well work for them to fit.
  6. So did you hire new custodians ?
  7. All very interesting, but you might want to look at what China is doing today and how it will influence what you're going to be driving tomorrow.
  8. Thank you for sharing. A lot of beautiful looking builds, and I always like the paint work on the Low Riders, such intricate designs.

    I'm not familiar with the subject but I sure like the way this looks. Very clean looking with good interior and engine detailing.
  10. Looks perfect. I helped a coworker in the '60's fix up his '53 and I painted it for him in the same shade of blue. Most of them had painted bumpers just like this and most of the time the grill was the same color. I think the "Custom Cab" trim may have included the chrome grill.
  11. You can see where the caster combined the two different hoods. It would have taken a little time on the casters part to better finish this underside before they made the mold. At this point you could still do that with some carful sanding. Other than that the hood looks good.
  12. I really like the way this is going. GM should have done that way back when.
  13. I like the shifter detailing. An idea on the steering wheel hole details. I have used different diameter drills and opened the hole and it should not effect the chrome trim you have on it now.
  14. Just drive it up and over the trunk, no problem.
  15. Very clean looking build. Looks as if it just drove off the showroom floor.
  16. Beautiful looking Nomad. My father had the same color combination on his '56 Chevrolet, I whish it was a Nomad but it wasn't. In addition to the great paint work all of the trim is done very cleanly.
  17. Looks great. Always liked the base model 1:1 cars setup to race.
  18. I like what you're doing with the paint job. At least you didn't put Donks under it LOL.
  19. I have to agree, the finish looks good.
  20. That's good to know, thank you.
  21. If this seller doesn't make this right I would rate him with E-Bay as if they would do anything to put this guys feet to the fire.
  22. I really like the color. Excellent paint work. The engine is a nice departure from what you usually find in this kit. The interior and chassis look well done also.
  23. Great looking build. The tutone interiors that GM offered at that time were only in a few colors and they were just a couple of shades different between the to colors. Most were a solid color and the carpet and dash color would sometimes be just a little darker. All that said I like your interior and I think people would have requested something like that if they could. The paint looks great also and that was a popular color on Chevys at that time and they offered it for several years.
  24. Your attention to details on this build is amazing. To bad on the paint deal.
  25. Great looking build. Perfect stance and the color looks perfect for this style of build.
