David G. Posted May 29 Posted May 29 A lot of excellent detail and it just keeps getting better! David G.
Steve H Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Wicked cool !! It keeps getting better and better Anton. Hooking up a camper trailer to the back would take it to the next level… The trailer hitch is one of those details that would get people curious, especially with no context. Love that kind of stuff…

Mattilacken Posted June 1 Author Posted June 1 The exhaust is getting hangers. 3d printed and installed in what seems to be good spots I also made a new tailpipe, single ”3 thet goes to 2x3,5”. Gonna look good I believe. only had clear ressin to print with.
Mattilacken Posted June 3 Author Posted June 3 Have added some paint on the middle parts of the exhaust and fixated it to the downpipes and joined them with CA and filled and then repainted the joints I am so glad that Vallejo paints leave no brush strokes. Al joints at the engine side exhaust also got filled and same treatment. I also added the battery shut off handle on the switch, here it can also be seen how the fire tank looks now. I did also print some articles on the Blackout Impala, the inspiration for the build, and bent them to resemble a magazine. Google docs is good for shrinking those pictures. 2
David G. Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Excellent work on the exhaust! All the fittings look great and the color of the metal looks just right. David G.
Mattilacken Posted August 18 Author Posted August 18 Finally some Impala progress! I have gotten forward with the plumbing, oil filter and catch tank are located. Next up is ac filter and condenser as well as radiator hoses. 3
David G. Posted August 20 Posted August 20 Wow, I'd almost forgotten about this one Anton! I'm glad you didn't though. Seeing all the detail you're throwing into this makes me smile. David G.

Mattilacken Posted August 21 Author Posted August 21 (edited) some more plumbing done. Preassure and suction side of the dry sump system is plumbed, only the tank left. Also got some more hoses on the engine. And I started front brake lines. Also replace the revell starter with a printed one that I modified To fit with my ignition placement.
