gseeds Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Here’s one I built after a real car that a buddy of mine painted the real car back in the early 70’s , my buddy’s name was Walt Prey , he also painted a pretty famous 64 Chevy impala named Gypsy Rose, also in the early 70’s, this 58 was named Sun rise Sun set , I loved this car as a kid when I first seen it in Hot Rod Magazine around 1973, so when a couple years ago I came across a resin 58 sedan delivery I knew I had to take a shot at trying to build one for myself, I did find a few pics on the internet but not many so I had to try and match the paint as close as I could, the side murals are hand painted , hope you like!
DonW Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Looks good. Oddly enough I was reading about Walt Prey and the Gypsy Rose in this month's Classic and Sportscar magazine:
Geno Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Way cool build, I have one of these in my stash. Too many models not enough time lol.
Cool Hand Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Another cool period style build, thanks for sharing the story. Great paint job and amazing you hand painted the mural.
Can-Con Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Love it. Looks familiar too. Gary, didn't you have an article about your cars in "Lowrider Bicycle" magazine several years ago and that car was in it?

Bills72sj Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Very nice. I just added one of those bodies to my stash recently.
doorsovdoon Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Good looking custom. Really nice work on hand painting the murals, I like that!
Jantrix Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Very impressive. I've attempted hand painting on a model, it's very difficult to pull off.
