RE: Ford Fairlane - Scuderia_Turini - 13th-Apr-19

Hello Steve,
Impala is 170mm long, 60mm wide and about 47mm high. Wheelbase = 95mm.
Took the overhead shots with the lens over the front and then the rear so as to reduce any parallax error.
Have chopped the trunk lid in anticipation of creating the station wagon - I think I know where the off-cut is, will search for it shortly.
Its essentially the sedan version of the red coupe that Lloyd shows above.


Note the long rear overhang...

Leo

Yo Steve,
The "Like" icon is at the bottom right of a posting. Alongside "Quote" and "Multi Quote".
It doesn't appear on your own postings, only other peep's.  I don't know where you see how many likes have been ticked though - can see it on other peep's postings but not on my own  :- (

Leo just won a bid on the Impala so now have a kit to work with .If i can cast this  would it be better to cast all the bit ( bumper etc,) separate  ,and how do you vac form the glass ?

Kit looks good - its a soft-top version though. 

I'll go back to working with the metal. Actually its the glazing for the station wagon rear quarter windows that are the challenge - wrap-around at the tail.
