Tony Hartjes
Deforest, Wisconsin
Tony built a Revell 1/25 scale 1959 Chevy Impala hardtop as a custom. He modified it with scratchbuilt parts, including a tuck-and-roll interior with chrome wire trim, CAD-designed air filters, a 1000-watt amplifier, and custom-sculpted taillights. Tony also decked the hood, added front chrome trim on the rear quarters, smoothed the roof, molded side pipes, and modified the bumpers. He added the headlights and grille from the AMT ’59 El Camino and aftermarket parts from Z-man, a Jaguar XKE kit, and MAD Industries, then finished the car with Createx Pearl Blue, Pearl White, and Dupli-Color 1K clear.
