Lindberg 61 Impala SS

One of my goals over the holidays is to finish at least one of the many projects that I have started. SO last night I picked up my 61 and got to work.
Here are a few pics that I snapped real quick some time ago before all the foiling was done. Its just posed up so I am not sure if the stance will be just like this, I am going for a semi lowrider/custom look. Basically a box stock build with Pegasus wires and tires, Duplicolor Orange Mist with white roofed topped off by HOK pearl, detailed interior
More and better pics to follow

Love the colour.Can't wait to see more pics.

Lookin good. I have some of that paint too, great stuff.

i like

61....my favorite year!

I built this kit, but mine was the convertable one. This kit is very easy to lower. Just flip the spindles around, and cut the coils. Its that simple :)

Yeah thats the plan , we will see how low I can get it.

I DID THE SAME CAR, IN THE SAME COLOR!!!

Gorgeous!!!

Gorgeous!!!
Thank you very much!
And as promised a few progress pics
I assembelled the interior last night except for the grab handle over the dash board. I used the same Duplicolor paints as on the body, detailed the seats in BMF and then spraye it with Testorsds Dull coat, then mere BMF on the doors, and I used a Silver Sharpie to detail the door handles and add and various knobs and butttons, the dash decals are from the kit and go on nicely

THeres a lot of Chrome on this one so it was great BMF practice, the decals are exceptional in this kit and fit right over the molded in scripts and snuggle down nicely with the help of a little microsol and microset.

I finished up painting all the pieces last night, now I need to add a few decals and do the final assembly in the next day or two.

amazingly clean interior... what a great project so far

Damn. This is going to be NICE!

I'm really digging the color. Great work with the paint. The rims on the car looks really good too.

damn man that is fresh! Have you posted this on LiL recently? I don't think I've seen it and I can't believe how I could of missed this on here. Well to the top it goes then!
Can't wait for more, those wires look like the ones on the Lowrider Series diecasts. I'll have to pick one of these up soon, I've seen a few at my local store.

Very nice Chevy! Slick color and the wheels are awesome. Good work.

In the wire,

Beautiful! :eek7: The 61 is probably my favorite 60's Impala and it suits this look perfectly. I picked up one of these Lindberg kits off ebay recently and was pretty impressed with the contents...it looks like a fun build.

Sweet mate sweet.

I agree, very cool '61. Great job with the BMF.

Well its almost complete now, just the final details and decals to go.
I had some trouble fitting the interior tub, the vent window should have been trimmed to allow the tub to fit all the way in. Oh well, I really just built this one for fun and practice applying decals and the bmf, no contest winner for sure.
