Post by: Benji on November 06, 2010, 02:01:10 AM
Hello fellow enthusiasts, My name is Benn and I am 21 from Newcastle Australia. I love any chevs but i am quite fond of impalas and belairs from the 50s to 64 and plan to buy a 1960s belair in the coming months. Also a huge fan of cadillacs also. My hobbies are drawing cars (chip foose, boyd coddington style) and photoshop (only learning), My dream is to start an importing business, importing american cars and to one day have a car collection of my own. Thanks for having me here :smile:

And finally, i also build models, and this is a diecast '57 im working on, shaved the whole body and moulded the rear bumper to the car and made it flush, was just a model a friend gave to me, and i decided to freshen it up  bit, turned it into a convertible too. when finished it will be complete will a model airbag suspension setup in the boot and a twin turbo 6 cylinder motor out of a model supra i had lol, yes i can hear the haters on the toyota motor idea, but its ok, its only a model lol

Hey Benji welcome to the forum the pics are great but model or not its a Chev!!!!!

haha yeah this is true, but the model come with a really average looking motor, not realistic at all, was just chinese junk, looked like a motor printed on plastic.  at least the supra six has the slightest resemblance to a 235 chev. Thanks for the reply Joe. As for Kroooozer, any chance of seeing a few pics of your old impalas?
