I started with a revell 66 impala, and a real crappy resin 67 caprice , cutting the top and trunk for the both and combined the two together, reworking the dip rails and rear window, and little puffy and some primer and that’s it ! 66 caprice! not sure if the photos will show up in order but you get the idea.

BeakDoc Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Not a low rider guy myself, but I certainly appreciate the skill involved in that conversion. And the seemingly tedious detail in the paint scheme, done to perfection, at 1:25 blows my mind. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltoys1 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Gary, Just to let you know, She is alive and well. After a shelf collapse mishap a few years ago, i got he back together, with NO body damage, thank God!! I put a full chassis underneath, with a 396 and although it sits a bit higher, i think she looks really nice, and i love her. Its a true honoe to have one of your paint jobs in my collection.
