Completed - 1967 Impala lowrider!


I'm back once again, this time i built a AMT/ERTL Impala that i finished this very day.
It took some time but it's one of my best builds yet.








That about it. C&C Is welcomed as always, if you got questions; feel free to ask!
Now i can focus on the mx-5, later dudes

Very cool. Not usually a fan of lowriders but this works well. How'd you accomplish the purple trim in the interior? Careful masking or just brushing?

I used the same purple ignition wire seen in the engine bay, and just superglued it in place

That's one sweet build Zlatan!
You should be proud of it, will it come to Västerås and Mini-meet on September 30?

not bad. i cant tell if its the pictures, but the paint seems to be chipping, and the grill is also loosing some paint (so it appears) but other than that, it looks like you worked pretty hard on this one.

That's a pretty inovative idea for the trim on the seats. Engine bay is nicely detailed also.

I managed to polish through some paint in the front end of the ride, there are some bubbles at the pillar in the front aswell. About the grill, the piece seen above the right lights is a piece of bmf i noticed after taking pics, and the way i painted it black, was just shooting some flat black, let it dry and use a q-tip soaked in acetone to remove the black paint from the chrome.

Looks good. I really like the colour. I like the style of wheels too, in my opinion though I think they are a touch big. Good work though, keep it up!

Beautiful lowrider. Nice detail on the interior I will have to rember your little trick. The engine is nice and clean and very nicely detailed. Love those wheels.
