'96 Impala SS Wagon

[Plowboy]

Another old project just finished up. In typical 2020 fashion, this build was a tough one! Paint issues, fitment issues, you name it. But, I was determined to get it finished. It's a kitbash of a Monogram Impala SS and the awful looking Alternomad. I grafted the roof of the Alternomad to the SS and modified it's interior to fit the SS body. The interior is simply Tamiya Gray Primer with various finishes. The body is Model Masters Dark Cherry Pearl with TS-13 clear. Wheels, tires and disc brakes are from one of the Revell California Wheels kits. 

 

Thanx for checking it out!

Great looking model, Roger. That’s a combo I’ve often looked at and thought “I wonder how that would work out?”  Now I know. Awesome work. 

[ChrisR]

Great conversion!

[Spottedlaurel]

Very nice work there Roger, I'd never have known it wasn't meant to be like that from the outset.

[PappyD340]

Beautiful looking build. Makes you wonder why Chevrolet didn't think of that. 

[lghtngyello03]

Wow! This is a super clean looking build. No way to tell that you had problems.

That's a pretty mean looking station wagon, very nice work.

[Mattilacken]

Beautifull! I just love these modern classics! 

[bbowser]

Great concept and execution.  That'll get the groceries home fast!

[Koellefornia Kid]

Nice conversion work, Roger!

Now that's how GM shoulda built the Chevy wagon. That's off the chart cool.

Thanx Eric! It'll work. But, it's not easy as I recall. The rear pillars have to be bent to meet the body. Making the side glass fit was also a pain. I did manage to use the rear glass from the kit.

Very cool wagon Roger.  It sure doesn't show that you encountered the issues you spoke of,  the end result looks great.  Maybe GM should have offered a wagon in the SS lineup as well, as I'm sure they would of had some takers.

Cool wagon.  Excellent work on the conversion.  GM definitely should have manufactured this wagon.

[Mr. Metallic]

That's a good looking car. Clean conversion work as always from your bench.
