1958 Impala Custom

[Dominik]

Hallo everybody,

today i want to show you my first custom-built.

It is based on the first issue of the amt 58 Imala, that i have built "since i was a little child". It is too old, that i remember

Now, that was the first "look":

Nice, isn't it?

I took it in May 2010 and gave him a totaly restauration and - sure - a complete new look.

What changes have i done?

- made it 2-Seated

- extendet the trunk

- also i extendet the intigrated frontbumber

- mounted a continetal kit at the back from a 54 Victoria

- channeled the backlights

- removed all trim

- new coat and interiorcolors

- installed a Hemi

- mounted Centerlines out of a "Heavy Cevelle"-Kit

- made a small Display with gimmicks

- for sure, i changed the roof and took one out of my partsbox

A Picure from the work on the body:

...and from the scratchbuilt gimmicks

And thats the result:

...tbc...

Thats it. The Backlights are not perfect installed, but its o.k.

The color is called "Cafe aux let" from Belton.

Thanks for attention, comments alway welcome

You did a great job smoothing out that body . . . and the color is perfect. Nice job on all the little details too!
