1 bad55 stan Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Very nice work,I'll be watching this one...
59 Impala Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Thanks Stan. It might be a few days before I can get back to this build. I have some work to do for my wife. Her sister passed away in Jan and we have to get everything in order and there's a lot of work to do. But, I will get back to this fer sure. I want to get it done for our clubs contest in March. Dan
59 Impala Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Thanks Charlie. I ran into a snag last night at the hobby store. I was installing the BMF and when I trimmed the execess and removed it, it pulled up some of the paint in spots around the windows. This is the very first time that this has happened. I'm going to try and touch up the paint after I get finished with the BMF. Man, was I bummed. I'll post some pics later. Dan
59 Impala Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Thanks Jake. I'm almost finished with it. I need to install the door handels and front parking lights. I also have to repaint the hood. I decided to open the vents on the hood and so I have to repaint it. Here are some pics of how she looks now. I am very pleased with the decals that I got from Woopiekat decals for this car. No problems puting them on and they laid down without using any solution. I thank Alan from Woopiekat decals. Thanks fer lookin. Dan
gtx6970 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Sweet. I have the same build on my list ( unfortunately it's a long list )
59 Impala Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Thanks Bill. I got er done tonight. Last night I painted the hood and tonight I painted the bottom of the hood and then I installed it all. I am really pleased with how this turned out. Here are some pics of the finished car. Hope ya like it. This was fun to build and I'm looking forward to building the 68 GTO Tin Indian when the model gets here. It is the Revell 1/24th kit and I wish that it was the MPC 1/25th kit, but I have to work with what I can get. So, stay tuned for the 68 GTO. Thanks fer lookin. Dan
slusher Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Man it looks great Dan, you should post it under glass so more can see it...
