Firewater

it is what it is a heavily modified 63 impala
2 custom grills cut and molded into one.
rear grill from a 62 buick also modified.
pegasus wheels H/H knockoffs.
paintjob consists of lace,patterns, fades,stenciling and hand done ribbons and pinstripping.
the glass was tinted with future floorwax
aside from the wheels the gold was done with humbrol clear orange

the interior had the inner sections cut out and replaced with diamond tucked craft foam.

the car is a curbside(car has the worst engine of the impalas) but has a engine just the bottom end is visible.

Re: Firewater

Cool custom. Impressive paintwork.
I'm not sure that the interior colors are the best, the copper and maroon tones from the body may have been better choices.

Re: Firewater

Nice low rider, looks like the higher end ones I saw back in the 80s. Really nice build.
