On an otherwise standard version of the car those options look horrible, but somehow if you chop the roof up like that, it makes the crazy front and rear end look good ! I'll admit you get full marks for imagination, and I can see this really working out ! If it's anything like any the rest of your builds this is going to be one to watch, I'm with you all the way buddy ! I am totally with Martin on this one! Cannot wait to see what you do with colors! 1
ea0863 Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) What an unbelievable creation! And to think, there are at least three parts on there from an Impala Edited April 13, 2023 by ea0863 1
Impalow Posted April 13, 2023 Author Posted April 13, 2023 Thanks everyone for following along this crazy train! I still have a few little minor details to do, but I'm going to call this one done! Ill do a nice under glass photo shoot after east! 10
ubermodel Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 Very, very cool. I really like the way the rainbow colors on the dragster match the colors on the hauler when it's loaded up. 1
mrm Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 Absolutely outstanding! Everything on this pair looks very well thought out and they are a perfect match. If you don't mind me asking, where are the W valve covers from?

If you don't mind me asking, where are the W valve covers from? Thanks Michael! The Offy covers were sourced from from the kit below! They are on a separate little tree with a nice set of 5 spoke mags, and sadly its not included in the drag releases of the same kit. 4 hours ago, ubermodel said: Very, very cool.

That was a challenge, but really turned out well... it was more luck than skill on that one.
OldNYJim Posted April 14, 2023 Posted April 14, 2023 I've enjoyed watching this one come together, and reach the finish line - a lot has happened in the world since this one hit the bench! Great work on the dragster AND the truck ? 1
absmiami Posted April 16, 2023 Posted April 16, 2023 Cant say that these are improvements- but I couldn’t resist - these were made with the Becasso photo mod app thats on my phone … 1
rickcaps55 Posted April 16, 2023 Posted April 16, 2023 WOW WOW ! beautiful the paint job the detail awesome.!! I'm 70 it's like seeing a photo from a 60's Rod & Custom or Hot Rod magazine .! 1
Impalow Posted April 17, 2023 Author Posted April 17, 2023 (edited) Thank you guys!! So I lied, these details came out too good not to share... but now it is officially done! I can not wait to unveil the pair at NNL East Saturday! Its been far-far too long.. Edited April 17, 2023 by Impalow 5
OldNYJim Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 Oh man, those little cleanly-built linkages...and that drive belt ? The little pinstripes too ???
TarheelRick Posted April 19, 2023 Posted April 19, 2023 The sound you heard was my jaw dropping onto my keyboard. I think every complimentary adjective has been already used, and rightly so. Your imagination, your skill of execution is beyond normal. This is one of the most excellently conceived and finished models I have witnessed in my 60+ years of building. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Impalow Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 Mission Accomplished! Underglass post still to come! 6

OldNYJim Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 I’ve seen so many pics of these two on Instagram this weekend ? VERY well deserved dude - I’m so pleased for you!! Looks like next year’s themes are rods, customs and 49 Mercs…it’s clear-the-bench time! You’ll probably only get 12 months to finish, this time around (although you did build two killer 1:1s in the last three years too, in fairness ?)
bobthehobbyguy Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Definitely a well deserved award for a pair of really cool models.
