COMPLETE: Customer's 1994 Caprice Wagon "SS" Clone

[tigeraid]

Another day, another wagon... at least it seems like. This is my 13th GM B-Body build, and my 9th B-Body Wagon.

Lots of custom stuff as usual... the duel-snorkel hood the feeds the RAISS Cold-Air Intake kit is scratch-built from sheet styrene. The kit is a modelhaus.com resin transkit using a Revell Impala SS base, and the engine is from a Revell C4 Corvette. Body is plasti-kote gloss black, buffed and waxed.

Tint is real tint. The sunroof was cut and scratch built using a chunk of "glass" from one of my accessory drawers. Body was smoothed and shaved, all trim removed, except for the window trim which is Baremetal Foil. Front headlight "covers" were tinted using Tamiya Smoke. Mirrors are the stock Impala mirrors, with a slut dug into them, and some scrap clear plastic shoved in to make Mercedes-style turn signals (as close as I could to the real thing anyway, without going and buying a Mercedes kit somewhere)...

Interior is modified from the existing Impala SS kit, by widening the seats and reshaping the using putty to roughly approximate Pontiac Bonneville leather seats. Two-tone dark grey and primer grey were used. Center console and shifter were fabricated out of styrene (see the WIP pic, as I suck at photography and can't get the camera in there now)... Dash was flocked, as the real life dash cover is a carpet material.

Pretty satisfied. I would've liked to do the side-view mirrors precisely, but just couldn't figure out a way to fabricate the mounts for the mirrors that come down flush to the door that way. Looks good from a few feet away anyway.

Who's next?

EDIT: aaaaaaand I just noticed in the pics that the driver's side a-pillar has a gap to the windshield. I'll fix that.
