Finished: Impala '59 Lot's of pics!!!

As some of you might recall this was meant to be a christmas gift for my father. I got it finished about five hours before I gave it to him, talk about a close call! Well here it is in all it's glory. The only thing that I'm not to happy with is those ugly silver wires underneath, next time I'll drill holes and use tiny screws up into the tires instead to hold the car down.
Have to give him a license plate to cover that ugly spot in the back!

Supersnyggt! I like it a lot, the chrome looks just perfect and the shine...! I´m sure your father liked it too, there´s something wrong about him if he did´nt...

Keep up the good work!

Fantastic job.
I'm glad to see it in stock form.
It looks so classy when it's not low-ridered out.
The seats are definately a high point.

Hi Zlatan!
There is no mold line left on any of the bumpers as I sanded them smooth and gave them the Alcald 2 chrome treatment. If you mean the two "seams" that divides the bumper in three separate parts, that is factory correct...it was made that way. Thanks for the feedback!
