Can-Con Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I thought I'd repost this one I did about 15 years ago since my current custom Impala project, which should be finished by now is having delays. Anyway, AMT kit with the Malibu trim and vinyl roof added. I did also smooth out the weird extra character lines in the sides before painting. Removed the "SS" emblems and added the "Malibu" specific emblems from a MCG photoetch set. I made the wheel myself and cast a set the tires are from Pegasus. Unfortunately, they don't sell those particular ones any more. Paint is flame red and black Duplicolor lacquer with their clearcoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Nice two tone and gloss. You are aware that the rear bumper was an SS only option and was never offered on the Malibu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the cowl hood was a stock option on the Malibu either so it's not exactly "factory stock". , , But, no, I did not know that.
