1959 Chevy Biscayne utility sedan

[jdcar32]

This is a replica of one of the last full size Chevys built with the 290 HP fuelie motor. The Monogram Impala was converted to a 2 door sedan and the back seat converted to a package tray. The Impala trim was replaced with Evergreen styrene Biscayne trim. The motor is from the 57 Black Widow and has been detailed to 59 appearance. The doors are opened and hinged with Biscayne style trim. The poverty caps are Modelhaus. The paint is Tamiya rattle can Mica Dark Blue. I have added some items from a Detail Master photo etch set, and will be adding the Biscayne scripts from the 1960 set when I feel like dropping somemore change! Thanks for looking.

Looks pretty cool. But it's a total drag to have to download individual pdf files one at a time, slowly, and have the files cluttering the desktop. Can't you just upload them to Photobucket and copy and paste in the IMG codes in your post?

What he said. I'll wait.

Obviously based on a WCDP diecast rather than the stated Monogram, but so what....I love it. Great concept and well executed. I'm a real fan of modifying diecast models....especially ones that I find damaged and inexpensive at toy shows or on Ebay. My attitude is.. use whatever starting material that is going to give you the best results. Working with diecasts often takes more time and effort than with plastic, and the end product will likely outlast the plastic model.

I like it. Something different from the same old 'top-of-the-line' trim on most kits. This looks a lot like a pic (maybe a year or so ago) in Muscle Car Review of Zora Arkus-Duntov's 59 Biscayne. Talk about a sleeper! Great job.

Very cool build Jon! Lots of nice details to check out. Well done!

Are you sure about that? It doesn't look like a die cast to me.

You are very wrong that is not a die cast. You are just seeing what he does with plastic models.

Very nice. I dont mind downloading the pics, the files are not that big, and even with dialup, they load fairly quick. At least this way I get to see the pics. Great job!

[FASTBACK340]
