This is the "Donk for a day" look for my newly restored Caprice B)

I took an extra Caprice Chassis (with catalytic converter, oh my :rolleyes: ) and fit the front suspension, wheels, tires from the Revell Escalade kit. It even sits "properly" for a Donk, nose-in-the-air for the "superior" look of a real mid-'70's Impala or Caprice-based Donk.

After the show, the stock chassis/wheels/tires go back under it. I also fixed a few things; added interior mirror, chrome A pillar and front wheel opening moldings.

In case you haven't seen the stock version:

Wow that looks amazing! And i loveee that green, Shes one very classy donk..

Thanks, the "lime yellow" color was mixed using Testors enamels; a bit of yellow, sublime green, a tiny amount of hot magenta (yes...), and white w/a few drops of black to get the color where it needed to be. Took a bit of eyeball engineering to get it right. Top/interior is a mixture of Tamiya acrylic flat green and buff, sealed with decanted Tamiya TS semigloss clear (new stuff, great stuff!).
