Dominik Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 second in the row of my restaurations. also grabbed from my brother and restored. removed all paint, changed the wheels, painted the interior individual as i like without searching the web for "real" paintsheme. also no wiring like my 61 - kept it simple. painted red with a smart used look. enjoy feel free to say what you think
Drake69 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Only thing missing is fuzzy dice. Otherwise this car is BEAUTIFUL!
raymond Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 the colors really flow. the interior and body colors. nice model
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 That's a beautiful '62 Dominik!! The tires are throwing me off a little. Something there looks a little strange. Maybe the white wall is a little too far "out" on the sidewall. But in general, it's beautiful! I have a good friend who has a '62 Impala hardtop painted in "Roman Red" & this looks spot on to me. I also like the interior treatment. The "tri-tone" thing looks very classy! Great work! Steve
10thumbs Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) I have a problem with the white walls too. They are off in my opinion. The tinting on the windshield is a bit too much. When, then greenish instead of blueish. That was the norm back then. Under the hood is incorrect, firewall was not body color. GM was black under the hood. Gotta love Mopars! Color is cooooool. The model is cleanly built and stands nicely, the trim is correct and the paint is done nicely. Interesting interior paint scheme, it's different. I do think the shifter is mounted backwards though.

Guest Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Very nice! One tip, firewalls on Chevys were semi gloss black.
slusher Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Very nice! One tip, firewalls on Chevys were semi gloss black. Your right Lee. The red paint looks very dull...
Dominik Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks for kind comments! @10thumps: the shifter now is correct - thanks, it was backwards mounted. @Harry: the mirror inside is now mounted, another wasn't there as i grabbed him. Take a look: for the next impala i will paint the enginebay black as it was addressed - thanks for this tip. whats wrong with the whitewalls? only the indicated ring was painted before and i let them this way: can you explain it to me?
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 If you look at a photo of an actual car from this time period, you'll see that the type of whitewall tires used then only had about an inch or two space between the wheel & the whitewall itself. The flat area that you painted on these tires looks to be a good 3 or 4 scale inches away from the wheel & it just throws off the whole look of the tire. The outside edge of the whitewall actually looks to be closer to the tire tread than the wheel. Steve
Dominik Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Thank you Steve. Now i know, where the mistake is. I trie to fix that Thank you Stephen, Terry
DeeCee Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Nice tidy build there mate, great looking interior too.
