Mercman Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 This is a build I did for my best friend. Back in High School he has a 64 Impala. He always wanted to do repaint it candy root beer, but with wages at $1.95 hour, you couldn't afford the shop tiome. It took me a while but I got this one made for him as a birthday gift. I started with a 1.00 glue bomb painted red, and finished it off like this. Color is HOK Candy Pagan Gold base, with Candy Rootbeer over it. Top is Testors Light Ivory, and the interior is acrylic Antique White. The tires, and rims are from AMT 49 Merc kit.

george 53 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Well Merc, it came out lookin right to me. Beautiful color,right stance, wheels, nice clean build, Yep, I like it!
RJWood Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Very nice work. hard to believe it started out as a glue bomb.
RodBurNeR Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I saw this at NNL North and asked if anyone could point you out...someone did and then I lost track of you LOL maybe we can meet next year. That's a nice build!
Guest Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I saw that one there too, took a pic of it. Very nice build.
TomA Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I'm with the others mercman, very nice build! Your friend is one lucky person, not only because they will own this model but also to have a friend like you.
Mercman Posted June 11, 2009 Author Posted June 11, 2009 The guy I built this for we have been friends for 53 years now. We were best man at each others weddings, and both of us are godfathers to each others daughters. I;ve knpown him since we were 3 years old. I'm also doing a car for his wife, and son. I did one a while back for his daughter.
gilsdropshop1 Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 very clean six4, love how its all clean and original look great job!
Harry P. Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 I don't think I've ever seen a '64 Impala in that color... but man, it looks great! Especially with the cream colored roof. I really don't like the styling of the '64 Impala ('63, '65-6-7 much better), but in this color that's a cool looking car. Nice job!
