This is a pro build 1958
Chevrolet Biscayne in 1/25th
scale. I started with resin body
from Bandit Resins. This guy
cast some really nice resin
bodies, check them out. You

kits and suppliers button on top
of any page.

I used an AMT 58 Chevy Impala
kit as a donor for some of the
parts. This car was built as a
sleeper, or Plain Jane. I added a
wired and plumbed 409ci.
engine with dual quads. The
Biscayne interior is done to
simulate red and black vinyl
leatherette with cloth. I scratch
built the correct Biscayne
steering wheel. It is completely
foiled and detailed, and
features a radio delete plate in
the dash.

The 409 is mated to a Muncie
4spd. It has a very detailed
chassis, with blackwall tires
and dog dish hubcaps. The
exterior is totally detailed,
foiled and painted in the
factory color of Rio Red. I
added the vintage 1958
Minnesota license plates also.
This is the type of cars we built
in high school back in the 60's
A plain wrapper with lots of
power.
