'61 Impala Convertible

Hi guys.

This is my second appearance here. This is a 1961 Impala SS 409 convertible (from Lindberg)
http://www.automodels.com.br/Colaboradores/Drago/Impala61/Impala_61b.jpg

This car was dedicated to my fiancée, that always supports me in this hobby. Her name is Tassia. The plate says "To my love: '61 Tassia"

To make the custom version, I used the wheels from another 1961 Impala Hardtop (also Lindberg). Seatbelts made using surgical tapes and paited red, seatbealts hardware in photoetched. I opened the trunk and made all its interior (The steppe, its covering, the carpets, the gas piping, the bent white hood and the tools box (blue, also in photoetched)). I hope you guys enjoy it. Comments are very wellcome!

Hey,

Very, very clean and realistic!! Great work. Is the front suspension steerable from the kit, or did you do that? Keep up the awsome work!!
