Car Crazy 81 Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 Heres Another Movie Car That I Just Got Started On As You Can See I Already Filled In The Door Handle Holes, Mirror Holes, Sanded Off The Hood & Trunk Emblems. The Engine Im Using For This One Is From The Kit Originally I Was Gonna Go With The 327 Ci With 6 Strombergs On It Just Like In The Movie But It Was Gonna Be A Pain LOL. I'll Keep Ya'll Posted On This One I Have So Many Other Builds Its Unreal.
HotRodaSaurus Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 I always wanted to do a replica of this one right from when the filmfirst came out. Thing is I could never get the red accents correct. If I hand painted it it went all squigely, then I tried with decal filmmost recently but could not get it to sit right. I think my next attempt will be using masks. J

Car Crazy 81 Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 I primered the impala for any imperfections & seam lines i sanded off the fender gills. Next step is to work on the interior this is gonna be a very tedious job because i never did tuck n roll upholstery on a model. I'll Keep Ya'll Posted.
BigGary Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Ricky, I forgot to tell you I have a six pack of carbs for the 58 Impala. Big Gary
Dave Van Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Here is my version. Not 100% correct but a quick build to see what the new Revell kit was like. Yours looks like it will be more correct...good luck....
Car Crazy 81 Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Heres Some Progress On The Impala I Modified The Spare Tire Well Which Stuck Out Like A Sore Thumb I Added Some Sheet Styene To Replace The Kits To Dress It Up I Added A .060 Inch Strip Im Still Not Finished Though. I Originally Was Gonna Use The Kits 348 Ci But I Decided To Use A Small Block That Came From The Parts Box I Used The Kits Powerglide Tranny.

Car Crazy 81 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 I Finally Have The Frame The Way I Wanted Its A Little Tad Higher In The Back But Its Close What Ya'll Think.
Car Crazy 81 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 I Primered The Body In White To Find Any Imperfections That Was Missed. I Got The 327 In Place.
MrObsessive Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Nice work going so far! IIRC, the movie car also had a bit of a rake, so yours is not incorrect at all.
MADmodelDOCTOR Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 IIRC, the movie car also had a bit of a rake, so yours is not incorrect at all. That's what I was thinking. Looking good. Keep it up.
