58 chevy impala full custom

[kennb]

In the box of glue bombs was a 58 Impala missing the hood and grill. With the Mustang in primer i proceeded with this. I did some searching for ideas on the net and went on to cut and glue parts together. It is starting co come together a little...much to do to make it the way I envision the final project tho.

little progress today....have some more details to do and the rear bumper along with the final skirts and side trim.

Kenneth,

The way you cut the top, reshaped the hood and the style of skirts your custom is starting to look like Bill Carr's Barris Aztek Showcar. Keep up the good work it's shaping up well.

someone noticed.....you are very correct on your observation.....he used a 55 but the 58 lends itself to that. I am going to use different side moldings and still not sure about the fins,,,,

I kind of like the rear the way you have it, I also like that you kept the '58 roof vent. What type of moulding are you thinking about? Looking forward to seeing more.

a little more trim in place,still thinking about some fins and additional trim on the rear quarters. Thank you Joe for the input.
