58 Impala

Got this kit in the works myself. Looking forward to what you do with it.

I think I'm going with a light blue metallic and dark blue interior.

I'm doing mine in a 57 only color, Dusk Pearl. I'm sure someone back in the day could have special ordered it.

you doing to mix it your self or automotive paint? looks like a light pink metalic.

I mixed my own at work.

me too I try to get at close as possible part of the fun. I like the silver blue metalic on the 58  color chip but I got to see what Irma dose 

here is the chevy 348 cu in engine. I just started the wiring taking a break form IRMA prep.     i removed the chrome from vavle covers ,alt ,crabs and aircleaner painted and gave a black wash.

Those are excellent pics of a very well done engine

Great start, niko, I'll be following along.  Cheers.

Steve

Thank you JustMike and Steve so far so good . 

Looking good. Just one suggestion, on a factory stock engine, black or dark gray ignition wires would be more correct.

thats true maybe my next chevy I add more chrome and yellow wires lol

1st booboo! the blue/sliver mist metalic lookd real good in the mixing jar but I couldnt get the same shade on the the body. In the purple pond it goes!

Aw !

 Well at least the purple pond will help . I haven't built one of those since they stopped offering opening doors . O.C.G.    P.S. I noted your engine seemed cleaner than my real one . Did you remember , that engine leaked some at the valve cover gaskets ? Even when less than a year old ? 

Cool thanks oldcarguy time for a change of color. but it’s been raining a lot here waiting for some good weather to start.

You have my interest, sir! I have an AMT version on my bench, so I'll follow along to see how this Revell one goes!

thanks guys started on a clean casvas the 1st mist coat of model master metalic blue.

nice work on all those builds. trying to get back in the swing of things. 

another mist coat

Hey ;

 Will you stop teasing us ? It's looking better every time I see it . O.C.G.

thank you oldcarguy finished with metalic blue some drying time for clear coat

gave two coats of model master top gloss coat.

Looks good, Niko! Watch out for that spare tire well. It may stick out below the body at the right rear. I cut out the middle layer of plastic attached to the interior as I remember, so that I could push the chassis floor up in the body. Looking good so far!

thanks I will watch for that. here are some interior pics.

masked the door pannels and sprayed with tamiya aluminum. Then masked again and sprayed with metalic blue mm. (body color).Removed mask and give seats and floor clear flat.

Looks danged good from here

thanks moparlover64 here is the interior hope you all like it its a little bright

Excellent work. The shades of blue are beautiful.

Thank you Bainford. I have the chassis and interior in place waiting to start the BMF on the body. Merry Christmas to you all !
