Good afternoon, friends, so I started a new kit. Gorgeous and graceful Impala.

Whats in the box.

This is a really nice looking Impala. I built one a very long time ago. It had the red line tires in it that I used. The picture shows my first attempt at shadowing the flames with the airbrush. Not all that great but it did win first prize in a Hobbytown USA contest for best paint (it was a really small show) back in probably 2003 or 2004. I don't know if it is the same kit but probably an older version of it. Great job on yours, I also really like the color.

Beautiful color and vinyl top! That thing looks slick! I just finished polishing the body on my 67 Impala. Can't wait to see this one put together.

Later-

I really like where you're taking this.  Love the paint! It struck me as being a color Chevy should have offered, but for some dumb reason didn't.  The vinyl roof looks well done and and really sets that paint color off.  

Compliments also on the engine, interior and chassis.  Looks like you ground the "hoses" off the inner fender, something I did on mine as well.  

Curious if you're thinking of some aftermarket wheels from back in the day.
