66 IMPALA WIP, It's all down hill now!
« on: June 16, 2017, 02:26:13 PM »
From the modified stocker kit. Almost easier to use the Revell stock 66 Impala kit Filled in the hogged out wheel wells and scratched the cage. Did some fuel cell/trunk mods. So far.

 :)  I love the modified stocker series.  Once you get past the balloon tires, they are nice.  And, unless you want to add to them, they are pretty quick and simple builds.

Anything will improve that one  on the box, and I am sure yours will be stellar, Slim.

Know what you colors are going to be yet Slim? Number? I am at the paint point of my '66 and it might be a "team" car!
I appreciate people that actually build and post models.

I must say, even by Modified Stocker Kits this one is really crummy. Cage to small, wheel wells to big, no radiator, fire extinguisher and a toy like front clip. But I am preservering. Aside from the front clip, the rest of the frame is ok, and the motor is pretty nice. Even has one of those "mystery motor" cowl induction air cleaner and the headers are cool. I thinl I can make this happen. Oh yeah! No rear window glass, either.

Hang the shocks and more sanding, then paint.
