bbowser Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Sweet build! My grandfather had one just like it only red, Impala's are close to my heart. Great job.
brodie_83 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Wow, that's an awesome replica job! Very accurate build...great job!
Dirty Gringo Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 this is a great build but what really got me is your garage for the photos love it as well
Austin T Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 Old impalas are just works of art,you have captured the image of the real one perfectly.

Lunajammer Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I love it. The comparo photos are a great presentation. A carefully articulated reproduction of a real car.
CorvairJim Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I am completely in awe! Your model is one of the best replicas I've ever seen. Your attention to detail is amazing.
sinicle Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 Thanks guys for all the feedback:D Did a few test shots, they came out nice but I'm not happy with the background.
sinicle Posted May 25, 2012 Author Posted May 25, 2012 thanks James reminds me, I made a couple steering wheels, which style did you say you wanted chain or doughnut?
carrucha Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Good job on the replica. Excellent job on the wheels.
george 53 Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 The 70 Chevy Impala i believe, comes with a bench seat you could start with. Of course the upholstery pattern is different, but with your skills I'm sure you could get it to work. IF you need the "Strato-Back" bench seat(it had bucket seat style BACKS on a bench seat) Alan Raab has them, from the 70 Olds Toronado( I know caz I sent him the master for it) that could also be used. The Strato Backs were used as an optional seat from 68 t0 about 71. The Pontiac Grand Ville had them as standard seating.
