While I let the magnum and the Lincoln completely dry out, I just had to start a project that I had already laid primer on. A 1964 Chevy impala. I've built quite a few of these so I know where the challenges will be and I'm familiar with most of the parts. It will definitely be slammed but I won't be using the low rider rims. Thinking more of a hot rod. Was going for a white top and blue body but after laying the white I just might keep it all white. What do you guys think?   |

All white would sure look pretty ! Maybe a little red accent in the side trim .

Took the tape off and cleared it. I think I am going to skip the third color on the side panels. I'll do a mock up after the clear dries. The sun already set so ill take more pics tomorrow.   |

Another coat of clear and here she is in the sun. The undies and interior are a different shade of blue. Will add some white detail here and there to make it pop...I hope.   |

Alright so I came home today to work on the impala...I'm stuck. Can't decide on the wheels. Here are a few...ok a lot of choices. That's how undecided I am. :/ Ugh! 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  I thought I knew exactly where I was headed with this one then all of a sudden, I realized The rims and tires are going to make or break this car. |

Torque Thrusts do it for me.
Had them on my 62 and they are just right for me.

Why do all your pics take so long to open Ice? Nice job on the interior.

After a tiring trip I put in a few hours on the bench. Photo-etch takes so much time. 3 hours and here's what I got done. Start of the engine   Photo-etched Interior detail: window cranks, rear speaker, glove compartment emblem and keyhole, and some door emblems.     Feels like it wasn't a lot. I'll have more time this week so stay tuned for more. |
