Thor Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hi I just completed this one. A 1961 Chevrolet Impala 2dht buildt from a lindberg kit mostly out of the box. changed the valve cover for better looking one from a amt 58 impala and wheels from parts box. First try on PE inside and outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exnyman Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Looks exceptionally nice! Love the color combination. And your foiling job is outstanding! I was building one of these but got stalled because the foiling didn't come out right, then I broke one of the rear axle shafts tring to put the tires on, so I set it all aside for a while.

Mike Kucaba Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Very nicely done and your spark plug wires look more in scale than some I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 409 looks really amazing! Just like real. The color of it seems to be pretty nice and detailing is great. I like that air cleaner. Looks like, it can be looking good when painted black. Model is nicely built anyway, but I'm not a fan of those wheels, especially under X-Frame Chevy. (not an personal attack.) It's nicely built anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I love it! So clean and precise... your foil work is outstanding! And I see you made a generator bracket. Many people overlook that detail. Very nice work in every way, a big "thumbs up" from me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Hi. thanks for nice words. Anyway, i had to redo the grill. one of the headlight`s turned black (dont know wy...) But i stripped the kit chrome and cut away the grill for use of the pe grill piece from the MCG set. THis is first time i tried the alclad II. I think it came out nice. http://home.online.no/~ogranhe/artimages/september_2011_018.JPG Edited September 7, 2011 by Thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
