1959 Impala

I spent way too long building this, been on the bench since April on and off. BMF intimidated me for a long time but I think it came out OK, still not very good with vent windows for some reason. The finishing touch was the door mirror, which I promptly knocked off while taking photos! Oh well, used Krystal Kleer so it didn't mar the paint. Comments welcome, thanks for looking!

Good looking '59 Chevy! I like the color combo and really nice work overall too. BMF Looks good to me and paint job is smooth, too. It's also always nice to see a well done W-Block engine and that combined with an X-Frame Chevy is a great combination. I like this one for sure!

Beautiful. Love your choice of colors. I've got the same kit on my bench right now. Been working on it on-and-off for a LONG time. It is a little intimidating. Any problems with the build? I screwed up and put the motor in before I attached the stearing gear box. Then I couldn't make it fit right (no room for it). Was going really good up to that point.
