I finally finished my '66 Impala. Hope you all dig it!

looks great did the tourqe thrust wheels come with the kit?

[58 Impala]

Very nice job. Did those wheels and tires come from the 32 Ford kit?

[imatt88]

Awesome!!!!

You should do atutorial on how you painted it, I've thought about using nail polish as well, but never knew what to buy

Cheers, Ian

The color is just dead on right on that car. Very nice!!

OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!

Very tastefully done, nice clean build and the colors are perfect.

One question, I'm working on the same kit.

Did you have trouble with the upper radiator hose?

[Matt P]

I dig it, nice build, and the color is awesome.

I agree with Ian - we really need a nail polish tutorial.

My folks had a '66 almost that same color. I don't remember the model but it was a 2 door post, automatic with a six cylinder engine.

Tom, yes, those wheels and tires are from the Revell '32 Ford 3-window. Now I'm looking at the Modelhaus catalog, trying to match them up. I hope to order a few sets for future projects, and not have to snatch them out of an otherwise complete Revell kit!

The top hose was a bit of a pain, as I recall. As with just about every kit I've EVER assembled, something usually needs tweaking.

Thanks Ian and Jim. I'd be happy to do a nail polish/2-part clear tutorial. Is there a protocol for this here on the Model Cars Forum??
