VW Dave Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 i would lower the roof rack a little Just lower the front of it, and call it the 'Arter rack.' Very slick longroof, Irv; me likey. I never thought I'd say this to a man, but nice rack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Loving it, Irv. I have to build mine someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 That looks really good, nice build so far. I like that color combo; In fact I used it on my Chrysler 300c Coupe from a few years ago. Look at picture number 4 in the progression. I think the reflection of the lines of the work cutting board look really good on the side of the car. Maybe some graphics on there would look good….just a thought because of the reflection. Also like the home made roof rack, that is different. Very cool. Just needs a surfboard or two...hang ten daddy-o surf dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E St. Kruiser50 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 WOW !!! What a beautiful start As some of you know, I'm a color kinda guy, and these color's really grab me, as well as the longroof style of this build. Can't wait to see more pics and follow the progress.

Irvin Arter Jr. Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 I wanted to do something different in the inside so I made a cover for the backseat and rear out of styrene and half round strips. 4 each row, 2 rows total. I also drilled out the Revell Impala dash for gauges Here is a few shots of it in the car but its hard to see enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
