New to Models.. 64' Impala noob build

[RallySoob]

I ordered several models by fujimi, aoshima, amt and revell that I can not wait to build but first wanted to practice/learn on this localy bought revell foose edition 64' impala.

Color i chose is nickel brushed metalic by krylon colormaster its 2n1 primer plus paint can. Then use krylon triple thick crystal glaze (0500) & Tamiya paints elsewhere. I got black flocking powder that im going use on interior floors and trunk... Also bottom of the door cards.

I have two gpx prebuilt chevy motors but im not sure im going be able use the 454 or not without lot of mods. May not be worth it. My goal is minimize visible flaws. Last time i built a model i was in 7th grade... 20 years ago; & i remember making lots mistakes haha.

Progress so far...

Work has been demanding but it will get better soon and i can spend more time but for now i ordered some models I want to build over next month+.

Progress on the 64' Foose Impala is coming along. Everything is prepped for paint i just need my flock fibers to get here usps

I blacked out the dish and spinner with Tamiya flat back spray paint but made a puddle and used premium brush







These Aoshima wheels came today and wow. They look so hot on muscle cars.


Mock up 66' ProStreet Nova by Amt. It is tubbed and has huge slicks but im making it a street car/race car. Interior is alum panel and im putting sparco aoshima seat in it

Baremetal foil on exhaust tips mufflers and foot pedals. I need to do exterior trim in foil still. Maybe the silver part of the seats aswell
