1962 Chevy Impala Hardtop

[BHarrison]

These are some shots of the 1962 Impala I have been working on this month also. I meant to have it ready for Atlanta but its not going to make it. I wanted it to look like the Impalas in the Goodguys Gazette. Its getting the smoothed underhood, Air Ride stance, 18"/20" wheels etc. THe body is also painted and cleared and curing as we speak.

Aftermarket aluminum mufflers and Polished Aluminum tubing

Stunning! Nicely detailed and well executed. Can't wait to see it done and some pictures in the sunlight, I am sure that color will pop then!

You have given me some ideas for my '62 kit!

My only gripe is the color keyed alternator, everthing else is spot on !

The reason I did that is because I do 1:1 cars that way when I build them with a smooth monochrome engine like that. Its about a two day process in 1:1 to do that. It involves a complete tear down then slicking down all the cast marks off the case then etching primer followed by sanding then three basecoats and three clear. Then reassembling the alternator and testing it. I think a high mounted chrome alternator on a solid orange motor is entirely too blunt. To each his own I guess. Lol

Nice! Did I miss a mention of what color this is?? and are the wheels big and bigger Chrome T's from Pegasus?

Really like the blended in alternator... like it disappears from sight!
