Hi all,

Here is Project that’s been in the works for over 5 years. Finally finished it. The original car has good bones but wasn’t complete for me. This interesting since Sergio is releasing his resin version just now. I think I did it justice. Love the Brooklin’s!

Nice work. Your enhancements are impressive. I just ordered one of the Goldvarg 61 Impalas. This is one of my favorite year Impalas.

And a while back, I did this with one of the red Brooklin Chevrolets.

It is a great car in any scale and and 1:1 form, too. Right now, I have just a 1/18 version, but this one is a excellent Chevrolet subject in all sizes from any manufacturer.

This is one Brooklin that just screamed out for drtailing back in the day. Nice job done!

Beautiful enhancement on both of these Brooklins, gentlemen.

An exceptionally nice one ! It fits right into the scene here. It's hard to tell whether the crowd is admiring the shapely young gal or the gorgeous custom Chevrolet ..... or both !
