Teddy J. Tannehill Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Fearless body work.....I like how the 64 top gets away from the fastback look....really a cool idea and again well done on the body work.....Like the weathering, adds to the realism.....Do you think this trick would work on a 67 impala.

Quick GMC Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 You know, it was these types of models that appealed to me and the reason why I got back into modelling. thinking it was easy to build the roughed up look more than the clean look. it takes a lot of time and skill to build these. This one is turning out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
