After several attempts to build one of these kits over the last three years, all of which failed, I thought I'd slap myself in the head and try again. So, this is try # 4. Duplicolor Medium Maui Blue metallic, and Cayman Blue for the interior courtesy of the craft department at Wal-Mart. The foil and black wash are done on the body, and the out-of-box engine is done as well. Now, time to build up the bottom half. And hopefully . . . . . I win! ;)

Man, that body is pretty! Great paint and foil work, interior and engine look top-notch too! Now take your time on the chassis and you should have a beautiful '66 Impala when you're done!

Thanks, but I'm not counting my chickens just yet. Here's my first and second tries, though I honestly don't recall a thing about attempt # 3. Just seems every time I had one flop, there'd be another one sitting on the shelf at the lhs, taunting me for the low, low price of $19.99. Must be that stubborn Irish streak, I figure. :angry:

looks great so far, although I must say, the two 'failed missions' don't look so bad to me.

foil looks fantastic, well done.

That is a very pretty color indeed and it looks right on that car! Those first two look pretty good - what specifically went wrong?? Heck, I'd give them a home in a heartbeat!!! :D
