My brother had this car in the 60s when we were in school. I rode in it hundreds of times before he sold it. It was a piece of junk but looked good. It was black with a red interior. The hood and trunk logo trim shouldn't have the nubs on the ends. I think that is just there because of the injection molding process and should be trimmed off. The headliner should be the same color as the seats. The SS version had dual swept-back antennas off the rear quarter panels. The interior had a mix of buff aluminum and chrome trim, but mostly buff aluminum. The chrome trim was where you touched, like all of the knobs. The centers of the upholstery were red and black checked cloth while the outer parts of the seats were red vinyl. The interior and trunk had red carpeting. The trim down the side was originally bright chrome with a white painted inside section. My brother hand painted the inside to make it bright red.
Looks like a great kit, I love the '60's Impalas, & you did it justice with a top job!! You should do cars more often. It turned out quite nice, I'm impressed. 👍 🦘
Glad to see another video. This is similar to a model I attempted of the Supernatural Impala. Due to my own fault it didn't end well. I have to do another one, however you gave me a few ideas and the inspiration to have another go. Keep up the good work
A very very cool build I'm into Impala's big time and thus the reason I came across the video. What an awesome job even for someone not having done a car since he was young. I just love the build thanks for the video and sharing. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist
Looks great bud but i noticed one small detail you probably just didnt know but you put your sun visors on backwards , the little chrome nubs you chrome painted go twards the rear view mirror so they work properly the way they swing twards the door s but nobody will see it ,its just i thought id give you the heads up for next rime..... looks great though buddy
Loving the details in this kit, although I am not sure if it's still available. Great job you/re doing on it as well - I have two Impalas in my collection I built some 20 years ago, maybe it's time for another one. You surprised me at the end with the lights, though, but that is an awesome touch!
You radiated all of the enthusiasm that a husband has when told to do something that he doesn't want to do by his wife. I say that as a husband who has been told to do something that he doesn't want to do by his wife. I got to minute 7.. Sorry. Not your fault.
Great job Chris.

Very sharp build.

It is still available. Amazon and Ebay
Pretty cool
Gorgeous! Shifter is backwards though. 🙂
Yea, noticed a little late, and that's how the instructions showed it. Oh well
Umm...12:40 You have the shifter arm in backwards.
Like the lighting idea. Is there a way to hinge the trunk and use a watch battery with the LEDs and have a switch there?
A battery could probably be placed in the rear trunk area with access and a switch maybe on the bottom side.

Not sure I follow what you're saying. This wasn't something I didn't want to do, and I wasn't told to do it. It was a fun build and very nostalgic.
@@modelsbychris I like your response to that comment Chris
