Hicksie1995 Posted July 18, 2023 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 18, 2023 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeakDoc Posted July 30, 2023 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicksie1995 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
