Ace-Garageguy Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Fantastic concept, perfect lines that look good from every angle.This is one of those rare models that really REALLY needs to be built in full-scale. This car done right in 1:1 could be a Riddler winner.
wayne swayze Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Very well thought out and executed! That's a great looking car!
Intmd8r Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 That’s a great looking custom – the color scheme complements the body lines well
RestoModGuy Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Nice work! I saw the actual 1:1 at SEMA 2016 on the floor, you've done an excellent tribute to it
Misha Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Great to see it done in scale, and so quickly after the 1:1 completion! You have done an amazing job overall; getting the body shape, the underhood fairings, and a very detailed interior. Great work and congrats!
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 How about that...I didn't realize this was already a 1:1. No wonder I thought it would make a great one.
Snake45 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Not at all what I was expecting when I clicked the thread. Very different and therefore interesting--and well done to boot! Model on!
Foxer Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 This one deserved to be built in scale .. and a job well done!

Reuhkapelti Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Thanks for the comments. I should have written a few words about this model as soon as I posted the pictures. Well, I will do it a bit later, I thought. Then the replies started to come...Yes there is a 1:1 car, and I saw a picture of it in local car magazine. I went online to look more info, and realized how cool this car really is. A must to make a model of it. I managed to buy a Lindberg 61 bubble top Impala model kit, and started to cut the body. I didn't use any parts from another kit, just styrene sheets and pipes and leftovers from the parts box. Oh exept the front seats, they are a bench seat from a Buick, cut in half. The rear window is the original from this kit. The dash board is also scratch built. The wheels are made from three different wheel parts clued together.
