Post Lowrider Entry...70' Impala
Here's my entry for the contest. It's an older release of the amt 70' impala. It has it's problems, but I like the challange. For instance the body was twisted, so i soaked it in warm water to straighten it up. worked a little bit.

Here's the paintjob so far. It's tamiya blue and i threw in a couple coats of flake. By the way...this car has NO CLEAR on it.

Re: Lowrider Entry...70' Impala
I tried telling my friend that 70s look good on small wires, so he put 20"s on it

Looks great man.

Re: Lowrider Entry...70' Impala
That is one heck of a shine. The flake in there makes the paint come alive. Keep us posted on the build.

What other cars are you working on? This is for the contest, so if I were you, I'd still work on the other cars, but focus mostly on this. Then get back to the other cars.
