smellyfatdude Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 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!
Custom Mike Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 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!
smellyfatdude Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 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.
tbill Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 looks great so far, although I must say, the two 'failed missions' don't look so bad to me. foil looks fantastic, well done.
slusher Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Real nice color choices SFD. Great looking interior also..
impcon Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 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!!!
