Revell 62 impala HT|couple of future builds

I bought a few of these kits last month for some planned projects. The first is a modern lowrider which I know doesn't fit the motif but the other two I wanted to run by the board.

First up is based on a local cruiser I have seen round my way. Its painted pearl white with a salmon colored factory interior, fat whites and red steelies with chrome beauty rings and lake pipes.


The other is an early style lowrider, chrome five spoke rims with thin whites, Not sure if the newer pegasus 5.20s will fit the era or not, maybe some smaller diameter tires with hand painted thin whites perhaps.

the first one is good to go the 2nd will unless u keep those tires the 5.20s will not be able to be run here.

agreed and I like the tall whites on the Cragars, it's much more period for early style.

good to go then, I have found a better set of tires than these. These I painted but I found a set with pre-painted whites that are a lot cleaner

almost forgot, the guy with the pearl white ride stopped into the pizza shop sunday night, but of course my camera was home. It has a 409 but mostly stock under the hood and real clean. Turns out it actually has a button tuck interior so I think I'll be digging through my spare parts boxes for that catalina interior.
