Yup I went to Buffcon, didn't enter anything though. It was the same as last year..... However I did make it down for my first AMPS and man was that a blast!!
Hey, thanks Tony!
Did you go to BUFFCON this year? I missed it...I just completely forgot, believe it or not!
Again you never cease to amaze me Karl!!
Thanks, Spruce-ce, Bill, modelbuilder, and Mikey.
Mikey, I don't have the skills to even replace the CD player. I'm completely "car-stupid", and wouldn't even know where to start with that Impala. Besides, I'm fairly certain that someone close by owns it. It was near an old truck too, in a field next to some houses.
In fact, the urban sprawl there is what shut down the race track where it was. Noise complaints from new residents--who moved next to a race track!
Karl you ever thought about taking that Impala that you found back with you and restoring it back into working order?

Well a restoration isnt fun unless its a challenge.
Nice to see you haven't totally abandoned your roots Karl and can still find ways to weather and rust over in the garage.

modelbuilder did happen to look for the owner of the Impala and ask if it was for sale? It would make a very nice restoration project.

Mnay thanks for the Tutorial. I may just pick a future build just learn from you on this.
Restoring that Impala would be expensive- new floorpan, etc...
Perhaps the Impala restoration cost could be defrayed by "Pimp My Ride" ?
agentg Ok smarty pants, let's do SHINY now!

They;re the two 71 Road Runners that I just finished. You know, my uncle calls cars "Shinys"--I didn't think that anyone else used that term, until I heard you use it! lol!
And thanks, Anthony and modelbuilder. By the way, I didn't find the owner of the Impala--the engine was removed, of course, ad the weirdest thing was that it had a '64 interior in a '63 body! If you read through my tutorial, you'll see the problems that caused me in building this car accurately!
Restoring it would be a real project--you'd have to find an entirely nee interior!
great job Karl. i always look forward to your tutorials. I have used several of your techniques. Now for a question, did happen to look for the owner of the Impala and ask if it was for sale? It would make a very nice restoration project.
That's outstanding work Karl,looks like a photo of the real thing.
Your work never ceases to amaze me.

Hi guys,
Well, I know that I've been "hanging out in the garage" (as wbill so appropriately put it!) lately, but I haven't forgotten my Armor roots!
Since most of you would never usually go into the Auto's forums, I just wanted to let y'all and some of the new guys here know that I have a new weathering tutorial up which can easily be applied to Armor, as I'm working with flat paints on a wreck of a 1963 Impala that Jenn and I found next to an old, closed-down quarter-mile dirt track that I used to go to.
There's not only the hair spray technique covered, but also the use of oils and MIG pigments, as well as a radical, "cracked paint" effect that I discovered quite by accident. Check out the results---here's the link to the "Auto's" posting.
