Creative ExplorerToday was the day of the nicest part of making a model, give the car it's paintjob. To me, this is a important part, it gives the car his appeal and starts to look like the finished car. I just love to do it.

Creative ExplorerUpdate Januari 3rd: I put the clearcoat on the car, and I am happy with it. Just need to polish out 3 dust particles, but that is it.

Bill GilmanYeah, baby! My first car was a '59 Chevy Impala convertible (bought in 1971). Mine was red/white with a white vinyl interior. It also had the "thunderskirts" over the rear wheels, and dual radio antennae mounted on the top of the rear fenders and angled back. What a car! If I still had it, it would probably be worth some money! Your model brings back some nice memories for me!

Aghis BarberopoulosLove what you did on the exterior. Can't wait to see it finished!

Creative ExplorerThanks guys! @Bill: you lucky SOTB! haha, I wished I had such luck. And I guess you would be right, a nice condition Impala convertible does do a few bucks nowadays.
@Aghis; thank you, and I can't wait either haha

Bill GilmanI was lucky, but I didn't know it at the time! I paid $895 for it, which my Dad thought was outrageous because it had some rust on it. Jeez...
