86 Z 28

[59 Impala]

Here are some pics of the model of a 86 Z 28 that we used to have.  Our car had a 4 barrel carb and not the injection setup, so I had to get a manifold and carb from the parts box.  The kit is also a T-top kit and ours was not.  I filled in the T-tops and had to remove the Tuned port injection letters from the body.  I used Testors Ruby Red for the body.  That is almost the exact color of the real car.  The Silver is SNJ's powder mixed in clear.  I had to paint the tail lights and marker lights.  For that, I used Tamiya paints.  The chassis didn't fit very good and I had to grind away stuff from the interior and chassis to get the front to set up inside the body.  It didn't turn out to bad I guess.  The wife likes it and that's all that matters.  LOL.  I hope ya like it.  Dan

Looks real good, Dan.  Kinda fun to replicate a real car from your life, isn't it?

Thanks guys, and yes Curt, it sure is.  I've built 9 different cars of ones that I've owned so far and I have 4 more to build.  I've started a 76 Firebird next.  Dan
