Buck Baker '58 Impala

I'm starting to work on a '58 Impala to replicate Buck Baker's convertible. I've found very few reference pictures. Where can I get more information?

Thanks.

Try Randy Ayers board, someone there probably has what you're looking for.

Got some work done on this Impala. Here's the story: I ordered this kit, knowing it did not have instructions or glass. I couldn't find any replacement glass, but did notice the '55 truck glass fit ok. So I chopped the top off, and started thinking about scratchbuilt convertible NASCAR.

Progress so far:

It's been a while since I've updated. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in this, but that's ok - I think it's coming along nicely!

Got it painted and the main body assembled. I tore one of the decals, so this could be Buddy Baker's, depending on which side you look at! LOL. Used a pin for the shifter.

Not really happy about the cover, but it's a start. Looks too heavy to me.

Comments are welcome!

Great idea John , and you're off to a good start ! I don't think I've ever seen a Buck Baker '58 Chevy before .

And don't think nobody is interested . Things are pretty slow around here and a lot of people just stop by to look and don't reply very often ( I'm guilty ! ) .
