1 bad55 stan Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks for your comments guys,i have changed the color,reason is my airbrush is a pile of junk and it spits,its about 10 years old.i carn't get the green in a spray can so bye bye green..
slusher Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Nice progress Stan, sorry to hear about your airbrush. The green did look nice but there are many options to go with in cans...
DeeCee Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Just gone from start to finish on this thread mate, VERY nice work so far, is going to look very tuff when done. You could leave the cage green, as a hi-light color and do the body black, would look pretty mean.

Thanks DeeCee,Black is a great color but i already have lots of black models.I have already re painted the chassis and the cage.I will post some pics soon.
1 bad55 stan Posted May 8, 2014 Author Posted May 8, 2014 Her is where i'm at.As you can see i have changed to red,i used a gold base with clear red,i ve run the fuel lines and fitted the fuel pumps,there are a few spots of glue on the frame that i'm hoping i can hide with the exhaust,the doors are hinged and the door jambs are almost done,i hope you like it.all comments and suggestions are welcome.
Brandriet16 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Those valve covers look awesome! Where did you find them?
om617 Posted May 8, 2014 Posted May 8, 2014 Looks great. Are the couplings pre-painted or do you do it yourself?
1 bad55 stan Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Those valve covers look awesome! Where did you find them? They come in the new issue Frank Iaconio pro stock camaro.i used clear red over the top of the chrome,the decals are also in the kit.
1 bad55 stan Posted May 9, 2014 Author Posted May 9, 2014 Looks great. Are the couplings pre-painted or do you do it yourself? Thanks Tommy,i used beadalon crimp beads.i added wire in between them.then i used clear red an blue to paint them.
Teddy J. Tannehill Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Stan you are doing some great work here. Really Keen, I think using the 65 is the perfect choice. From the comments it looks like a lot of the GM. guys agree. For me I think it is the round tail lights. A view that most challenger's would likely see if they dared cross swords with this "Fire Breathing Impala". Regards from Teddy.
Speedfreak Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Great work Stan, I miss the green though Those valve covers are marvelous!
slusher Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Love the engine Stan and nice touch on the valve covers. Door jams look great. Excellent keep it going..
TFchronos Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Oh man that engine is gorgeous. Beautiful work on the whole car too, very nice job on the roll cage.
tubbs Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 keep going, its looking really good. doing a great job on it all. if i can make one small comment, I think with a tube frame car, you would mount a fuel cell instead of mounting the stock gas tank. I have a 60 starliner I pro streeted and am using a modified stock gas tank so..... just all me kettle, I guess. still looks great.

I agree on the fuel cell comment,reason i used that fuel tank is to make it look more of a street car than a race car,give it that street car look..sort off.Thanks for your comments,
