The ‘black chrome’ may not have been intentional, but it does look good, and with those wheels this is a ‘mean’ Impala. Thanks beerRS! My ineptitude paid off this time. ? I was a little concerned with the wheels because Fireball's tires tend to be a little on the bloated side. I couldn't use them on a previous Corvette build. 1

The last photo of the wide angle interior shot is a brilliant idea, it really showcases how much detail has been achieved. Really well done Harry. Cheers, David. ?? Happy accidents (or inteptitude) are the best kind. I must have some kind of dark side as I've used the same colour scheme in the past. It just looks right to me some how. I stumbled upon the wide angle technique on a previous build. I think if there's enough side window space I will continue with it going forward. Thanks for the kind words. ?? 1

I see that someone else has already used the term, but sinister came immediately to mind when I saw this. Great photos as well. Thanks Z! The inspiration came from an awesome '59 Impala I saw on the net. This thing had enormous rear tires. Photography... making silk purses out of sow's ears. ;^)
TransAmMike Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Super nice build. that interior is stunning ? 1
rv1963 Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 I like the not so shiny chrome works well with the entire look. 1

ReduitRetro Posted September 5, 2024 Posted September 5, 2024 Nice job with excellent attention to detail! Between you and I, the original Batman would've been much cooler driving this! 1
Koellefornia Kid Posted September 5, 2024 Posted September 5, 2024 Very nice and sinister looking paint and a fabulous interior! Great build! 1
bogger44 Posted September 6, 2024 Posted September 6, 2024 The dark chrome was definitely a happy accident, as it really adds to the sinister look it has going for it. That interior, wow! Great stance and paint as well. Congrats! Thanks for posting, it gives me some inspiration to dig mine out of the stash and get it started. Planning on something similar to what you've built here. 1

ModelcarJR Posted September 6, 2024 Posted September 6, 2024 Yes, it is indeed sinister looking! The paint, engine and interior just come together and it looks great! Nice work! ?? 1
