tbill Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 bought this kit forever ago, it was on a shelf in my cellar for who knows how long and was semi-chewed by a mouse. after my son found it and saw that part of it had been mouse food, I was going to use the body to practice painting on, well, don't ya know it, first paint job on it came out really good, so I decided to build it. I had placed a wanted ad in the wanted section here and Bowtienutz was good enough to send me the needed items to keep this a buildable kit [thanks again]. so, here is where I am at, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 thanks guys, I'm getting better at this BMF and yes, I used quite a bit of it on this build, can only imagine how much I'll use when I get to the rest of the impala's in the stash [60-64] Scott, the interior is testors one coat lacquer #1844 Icy Blue, over gray primer, I would imagine it'd lighten up some over white primer as the cap on the can looks to be a lighter shade.

tbill Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) bare metal foil. took awhile to do it, but it was worth it I think.

Wonderbread Kustomz Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Very nice foil work and those colors contrast nicely together... I'm mainly a lowrider guy, but that looks sweet with the wheel and tire choice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
