Petetrucker07 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Thought I'd do a WIP on my next project. It's a Revell 59 Impala. I'm going to be building basically box stock, with the addition of Pegasus rims and tires. I've already modified the rims to fit. It's sittin just how I hoped it would with optional lower suspension that's included with the kit. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 bad55 stan Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 should be awesome,although im not a fan of those big wheels,these 1s look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'm having a hard time deciding which interior to use. The custom tuck and roll or the stock style. Either way it'll be matching the exterior colors, metallic red and pearl white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettecote Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The stance on it looks good!...Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I personally like the Tuck n Roll interior, but if you keep all of the stock trim and emblems you might want to super detail the stock interior. If you go with a smooth look, removing door handles and hood trim and maybe filling the hood vents then I think you would want the Tuck n Roll interior. I look forward to how this turns out.

slusher Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm having a hard time deciding which interior to use. The custom tuck and roll or the stock style. Either way it'll be matching the exterior colors, metallic red and pearl white. I don't think you could go wrong with either interior Clayton. Looking forward to more...

66belair Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 How did you mount those wheels? Gonna have a nice stance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks everyone. I'll be back on this, this weekend. Work has me out all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 How did you mount those wheels? Gonna have a nice stance. I had to cut the hub on the rim down about half of what's there. I then drilled the rim mounting holes out to 1/8 inch. I then had to trim the "spindle and axle" hubs down to get the rims to fit in the wheel wells. I'll post some pics when I get back to the bench this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Great start. I vote for the tuck and roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thanks. I'm gonna go ahead with the tuck and roll. I'm gonna keep some of the trim, leave off some, figure that out as I go along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledsel Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I like the concept and stance, but dislike the 23's Wish they did them in 16-"18". The 23's look okay on a 1/24 scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 They do them in 19's but IMO they look too small....Are you going to add pro touring suspension and drive train as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 Thanks for comments guys. I'm going with the 409, painted to match. I'm mainly going for the look of protouring, lowered stance, wider wheels. I'm hoping to get to the bench today at some point and get a little done.

Petetrucker07 Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Well this update is a week longer than expected. That's life. The chassis is painted Testors One Coat metallic red, forget name of color. The engine is assembled, just needs the accessories. It is painted the same red with Testors White Lightning on the valve covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Nice start, I do think that the 23" are to big for the front. the 19" Pegasus look much more realistic for this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
