thanks for the comment mate~
the paint and polish process, hmmm nothing special really
1, sand away molding lines and badges (my thing with models, remove al basges)
2, spray tamiya light gret primer, let dry then sand with 2000 grit sndpaper
3, flood 2 layers of tamiya gloss black, let dry for few days
4, sand with 3000 sandpaper
5, polish, tamiya find compound, modelers 2000 compound, tamiya finishing comound, tamiya wax

thats it, was being lazy this time and didnt apply clear coat, the result turns out to be ok:grinyes:

Hey everyone. This is my first time posting on this forum, I just wanted to say hi, and that I just purchased a 67 chevy Impala 4 Door Sedan. So I figured this was the best place to come with my question. Is it possible to convert the sedan into a hardtop. The doors look the same, just eye balling it. I know I will for sure have to change the windows/tracks, and have to chop the sedan bars, but will I need new doors, or will hardtop doors even fit, or will my current doors work, and I just need new windows/tracks?? So basically what I'm asking, is this even possible?? Any and all help would be Awesome! You can e-mail me at double0010@hotmail.com thanks again!
