1959 Impala Sled COMPLETED (5 pics)

Well, I suppose this is the first of what I had to get done this week. She's taking the place of the 1961 Impala that was supposed to sell on Sunday. Hope you like her.

Before anyone mentions it, yes, I am aware that the steering wheel is not attached. It was removed to more clearly show the flocked carpeting. It's a kit stock piece, anyways. But isn't she a dreamboat in any case? Enjoy. ^_^

I'd drive it:cool:

Nice! Gotta love the tail styling on the '59s... Close ups of the interior would be cool if you're camera is up to it. :coolguy:

Sorry B but thats not a sled its a Pro Touring its easy to get these 2 mixed up :bandit:

Did you cut the OG window pillars and used the one off the chrome tree just curious?

Looks great, I love that hot-rod look. :)

very nice work! is everything under the bonnet safely unmolested? or did you go nuts and put an injected engine into it?(seen as you got the wheels off the alternomad, why not take the engine too....) awesome stuff :frog:

I'd pimp it :cool:

Wow,

fantastic work. Is this an AMT-Kit?

cu, Sascha :bandit:

what color is that?

Okay, one at a time.

Lownslow: I define a "sled" by the old mantra "If it don't go, chrome it." This model has no performance parts beyond the three two-barrel carbs on the 348, and was slammed heavily, and wears no door handles or other extraeneous decoration. Thus, I call it a sled. And that is the kit stock chrome windshield frame and kit stock vent windows. I know because they were a pain to attach.

Bloodhound: Nope. Stock unmolested engine. I love 348's and 409's too much to sacrifice this jewel for some blase TPI 350.

Group C Fan: It's Revell/Monogram.

Irupp33: The exact color name I'm not sure of, but it's a nail polish finish. So just stroll through a cosmetics aisle and you'll probably find it.

Oh yeah, here's a few daylight pics.

Looking good, I still don't know about the interior colours to match the exterior but it still looks cool either way. As for the sled/Pro tourer I think this could only be labelled as one word...Cruiser :smoka:
