While I let the magnum and the Lincoln completely dry out, I just had to start a project that I had already laid primer on. A 1964 Chevy impala. I've built quite a few of these so I know where the challenges will be and I'm familiar with most of the parts. It will definitely be slammed but I won't be using the low rider rims. Thinking more of a hot rod. Was going for a white top and blue body but after laying the white I just might keep it all white. What do you guys think?   |

Are your going to do all the trim work? actually it looks good, not to many hot rods in white anymore....

Took the tape off and cleared it. I think I am going to skip the third color on the side panels. I'll do a mock up after the clear dries. The sun already set so ill take more pics tomorrow.   |

Another coat of clear and here she is in the sun. The undies and interior are a different shade of blue. Will add some white detail here and there to make it pop...I hope.   |

Alright so I came home today to work on the impala...I'm stuck. Can't decide on the wheels. Here are a few...ok a lot of choices. That's how undecided I am. :/ Ugh! 1.  2.  3.  4.  5.  6.  I thought I knew exactly where I was headed with this one then all of a sudden, I realized The rims and tires are going to make or break this car. |

After a tiring trip I put in a few hours on the bench. Photo-etch takes so much time. 3 hours and here's what I got done. Start of the engine   Photo-etched Interior detail: window cranks, rear speaker, glove compartment emblem and keyhole, and some door emblems.     Feels like it wasn't a lot. I'll have more time this week so stay tuned for more. |
