Speedpro Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Interesting concept! Turned out very nice!
Greg Cullinan Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Neat idea and great execution. Looks great.
slusher Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Creative build. Very sharp build. Nice paint and detail..
Chris White Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 that is a believable concept, nice work
Mike Kucaba Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Looks like it could be a factory concept. Nice work!
1 bad55 stan Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks everyone It would have been cool if GM had built it from the factory,Its a tamiya color sorry i don't have the code for it...

Dale W. Verts Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I would flat freak if I saw something like that in 1:1. Cool! Dale
unclescott58 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Very nice Stan. This I like. A lot. Only one minor criticism. It looks great other than the ridge running across the roof where I assume you spliced the roof together. It's so minor I hate to mention it. And I would not change it now. Other than that, it's prefect. And I too would like to know more about the color. You mentioned Tamiya. Might it be Tamiya's Light Blue Metallic? Which turns out more medium, than light blue. A color I like a lot. And have used on several models. Again, a great job on a very cool concept Stan. I like it! Scott Aho
Wonderbread Kustomz Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I like this... It came out really good!
58 Impala Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I've never seen a 65 turned into an El Camino, very nice job. And the Pro Street on the trailer makes it a perfect combo.
1 bad55 stan Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 Wow dude ,... A twofer Nice work Impalas are cool!! Cheers Thanks Bruce! I would flat freak if I saw something like that in 1:1. Cool! Dale It is a little different!

Scott Aho Hi Scott,I used a 64 impala roof section.the ridge is part of the 64 roof,i joined the two together just behind the "A" pillar.I don't think its light blue i think its a darker blue metallic.And thanks for your comments...

Looks like factory. I'm lovin' the SHINY :) Thanks Jim,thats the look i was trying for after the rebuild.
