Hicksie1995 Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 Here’s my 1960 Impala. Wheels are from JPS and the engine is iceman. Other than that all the chrome was stripped and sprayed so it all was uniform. Also the seats are done with scale motor sports decals and other small details. Since finishing the car has won best of show at the mid Atlantic NNL, my local club contest, multiple awards at the NSRA show in York PA including the NSRA pick, and placed second in the iceman collections buildoff. This build was extremely fun even though I hit a stall and lost motivation in the middle. 13

espo Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 I can see why you have won all of the awards. A lot of intricate detailing everywhere you look on this. The paint work really stands out, but the attention to the interior detailing catches my eye as well as the engine. 1
AMT68 Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 Truly a work of art. As highly detailed a model as I've seen yet. 1
XYHARRY Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 Beautiful lowrider Lewis. I'm not surprised that you have so many awards for it. Cheers, David. ?? 1

Koellefornia Kid Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 The awards are well deserved! Great details and awesome paint! 1
Hicksie1995 Posted July 29, 2023 Author Posted July 29, 2023 Thanks everyone. A lot went into this one.
BeakDoc Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 Wow! That is some top notch paint work. The engine detailing is awesome. Interior paint and detailing is gorgeous as well. And by no means am I trying to disparage you or nit pick your gorgeous build, but if I could offer one bit of constructive advice it would be to get rid of the mold line across the top of the radiator going forward. It was a detail pointed out to me several years ago and now I can’t not see them. Also, the wheel choice and stance outstanding as well. 1 1
Hicksie1995 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Posted July 31, 2023 I appreciate it. That was pointed out to me once before with this build and I now can’t help but look right at it every time now lol. Oh well. Next time.
