ewetwo Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I actually owned this car as an Impala. Not a SS. Red with black. 283 ci. Auto. Had white wall but I haven’t mastered the trick to using white paint and the compass to make them. All the paint lets out on one section of the tire..
fivesuns Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Very nice. Brings back memories of the red 63 I had as a teenager.
ewetwo Posted March 14, 2019 Author Posted March 14, 2019 Thank you Howard. I didn't have the mags on mine. Just the stock hubcaps. But I bought the kit from a garage sale and the hubs ( what is that part behind the hubcap that the metal axel goes into?) were missing so I had to use the mags. And the body had been torqued a bit as you can see by the A pillars. I drilled the chassis and screwed the bottom on just in can I come across a set.
Lizard Racing Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Nice looking diorama! Good choice of cars too. I remember the '64 had a dual-quad 409 rated at 425 hp.
espo Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Very nice. I'll bet you enjoy reminiscing about your old car. I like the other models in your garage also.
ewetwo Posted March 14, 2019 Author Posted March 14, 2019 Thank you guys. I often have dreams that all my cars are stored in a building somewhere. I've had plenty over the years.At one point Motor Vehicle told me if I transferred plate one more time one year. I would have to apply for dealer plates. LOL A 1958 and 1964 Chevy were two of the Chevys I've owned. Hey. Maybe a good tread in the General posts. A list of the cars you've owned.
Modlbldr Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 David, Nice looking build. I believe I have a set of the wheels. If you're interested just cover the shipping and they are yours. Later-
ewetwo Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 Thank you Hugh, Keith, David, Bill and Tom. Much appreciated.
BigTallDad Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I had a '64 SS in yellow, black interior, 327/300 hp with powerglide. Nice build! There are a couple things that could improve the accuracy.
