Bills72sj Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 I like them both. Though should there be T/A stripes to go with the T/A hood?
moparfarmer Posted December 21, 2021 Author Posted December 21, 2021 To be honest the kit was all there except the decal sheet which didn't bother me because I'am not a good decaller(if thats a word)..Stripe delete...Lol..
Claude Thibodeau Posted December 21, 2021 Posted December 21, 2021 Hi Wayne! Well, as they say: "Quality, not quantity". Both are great, but I have a preference for the color on the Chevy. Both cars have colors that are in perfect match with their respective year coming to the market. Bravo! CT
AMT68 Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Two great builds. I especially like the Chevy as it is very eye catching. Looks to be a pretty rare T-Bird behing the Impala.
happy grumpy Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 I like both though being a big Mopar fan, the Chevy looks particularly good in that color. Great builds both. ??
Zippi Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Two good looking models. I really like the Impala. Nice job.
David G. Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Two great looking models! The Chevy, in particular catches my eye. The paint and detail work on it look excellent. David G.
TooOld Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 I don't see anything to nit-pick about on these two , beautiful work Wayne !
Smoke Wagon Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 It’s hard to criticize a model when they look that good! That foil work is beautifully done. Only thing I can think of are the exhaust tips on the T/A; I usually hollow the tips out and paint the inside of the hole flat black. Some guys get real jiggy with it and use small aluminum tubing to simulate tips.
TransAmMike Posted December 23, 2021 Posted December 23, 2021 Both very nice Wayne but yeah, the Impala is the winner here!!?

My first car was that "butternut yellow".

Keef Posted December 24, 2021 Posted December 24, 2021 I love me some Mopars but, that Impala is beautiful!!
espo Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 They are both beautifully done. Perfect color choice as these colors seem to best represent the subjects when they were built.
