RandyB. Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 I built this AMT 1958 Chevrolet Impala initially back in the early 1980's. At that time it was my best build. I finally hauled it out of storage where it had been dismantled for several years and restored to my current build level. I installed a set of Firestone pad printed whitewalls and detailed the wheels up, repainted some interior parts, repainted the engine in Chevrolet Engine Red as well as wired it. Polished the windows and paint work with Nu Finish Scratch Doctor to perk up the tired looking paint and dull windows. Shot these pics out in the sun which really makes the colours pop.
Mercuryman54 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Very, Very sharp!! Looks like it aged well. Dennis
mredjr Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Great job!! Love the two tone is that factory color?
Classicgas Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Wow! Hands down one of the nicest builds I have seen of that kit. The only beef I have is blue plug wires, not factory correct, but none the less, stunning!
TooOld Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Beautiful ! Great restoration of your survivor .
Hmann68 Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Wow what a beauty! The colors look great! It shows no age at all. Very nice!
espo Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Beautiful "Showroom" build. I like the fact you painted it as a not often seen factory two tone color combination. The detailed chrome trim really stands out.
