cruz Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 As you guys know, Carlos de Jesus is one of my favorite builders in Puerto Rico, his cars are just amazing. This is an Impala he just finished with the help of Ariel Cordero. The roof posts have been corrected since this model was done as a taxi when it first was introduced. Even though I don't have the pictures for the LT1 engine, it has a bigger oil pan and it is plumbed for the gas pump that was also added. All the Impala scripts were added using Marine Tex. This is the picture of the 1/1, or is it?????????
cruz Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 This is a link to Carlos' album in my photobucket site and the rest of his great stuff, check it out!!!!! http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/mmm...20Jesus%20work/
RodBurNeR Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 I am impressed! The attention to detail and parts to even have the right looking tires and decals , just right! Not any everyday model, great work!
fordh8r Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Getting a model to have a likeness of a specific subject can be quite difficult. Especially when it comes to matching up specific components such as wheels and color. But I have to say, you made this one look easy. Fantastic job with this one!

Now you see why I don't do drag cars Thanks, I had an idea you would also Iz, I was going to post it about 4 months earlier but Carlos had told me it was not ready yet. What I will do the next time is contact you beforehand to make sure we are on the same page!!! By the way, it would be nice if you can take some pictures of his cars with that nice camera of yours, these were kind of in the dark side. I guess you can get together with him and photograph some of his work....
ismaelg Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 it would be nice if you can take some pictures of his cars with that nice camera of yours It's not the camera, it's the cameraman I'm trying to arrange something with him and some other guys, maybe early summer. By the way, love the engine compartment as well. Thanks,
Harry P. Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 A big old fat Impala as a drag car? That's a pretty strange choice...
