Fall of 1966, in the Army at "Infantry School" a rich draftee drove his new blue SS 396 Chevelle to school. The Drill Sergeant made him park it across the street so every time we were in formation he could see it, but he only got to drive it TWICE - once there and once back home for storage - until he "came back". Weeks looking at that car several times every day put a clear memory in my head. Your color choice was a nice one. Thanks for the build and thanks for kicking my Chevy memory bank.
Thank YOU 👈🏻 Chris for your time. It is a nice escape from reality and inspirational. You gave me the nudge to get back into building. Always fun to watch. Great job on kit, looks great! Nice job Round2.
Thank's 👏👏...i remember this kit originally cumming out around 1990 in 2 boxes.A street vers. and a tubed pro street vers.the two kits sharing the same body ...It had shallow door lines then as well ..probably to accommodate the dragster .....it was a big seller then..
Man, when I get stuck on minutiae detail of scratch-building and P.E. (military miniatures) - I find myself watching hpiguys workshop and returning my modeling-zen to happier times... Thank you, Sir.
Hi Chris, I have not visited for a while, sorry about that, this build was absolutely fantastic, you really done the kit/car great justice, bedt regards from Australia 👍👍👍👍
I love the build as I do all your builds and hope you get to do a full build on the 280Z that Round 2 has coming out. (You would so do that car justice!)
65 years old and just got back into it started with the bullet mustang and decided I would build the cars I should have kept. Next is the 68 charger and 66 Chevy c10 then start looking for the rest
You're just showing off your ability to pick auto colors that look absolutely real, aren't you? The whole latest string of auto videos have been stunning finish wise.
Absolutely stunning build. I LOVE this series of kits by AMT. The detail level is perfect for people of moderate skills and a great starting point for superdetailers.
My favorite body style of chevy chevelle, I wonder what it would've looked like with the "general lee " style mag wheels that came with the model kit 😊❤👍
My dad owned a 67 Malibu with the Chevelle SS trim so this is a kit I got to get. The current 67 Chevelle kit that has been out is the pro-stock and I've been wanting a regular stock version of the car.
Regarding the VHT, warm the can before use. If it still does it then swap the nozzle for a known good nozzle from an empty can. It's almost always either temp or nozzle related(I've had a couple cans that just were not pressurized but that's rare).
Looks great, nice build. I built this kit years ago and it looks like AMT did some nice improvements on it, I like the expanded decal sheet with the badges and emblems.
Another Awesome video, I watched yours, then Steve Magnantes 67 Chevelle SS 396 walk around, then Lou Costible 67 Chevelle SS 396 Survivor vids. Soon, lunch break was over before I knew it,,, but it was time well spent. 😁👍
That super detailed chassis will work with any mid 60s GM muscle car as in real life , the chassis and associated bits were almost identical across Chevy Buick and Pontiac
I can still hear the tu4n over and crank up of the h3art of this Chevelle. This was one ride that hated tires... leave the rubber on the road for others to see.
Nice build. The black stripes show better in the still pictures at the end of the vid than in the vid itself. Is the Monogram better than this one, or is it the opposite?
Hi HPI - I always feel like your future gloss coat is amazing! It looks great! Thank you for the kit reviews and unboxing. I had a question for you, what will you use in place of future/pledge floor polish as it has been discontinued? I have tried to pick up another bottle but the prices have sky-rocketed to up to $65 dollars in some cases, which is beyond a deal breaker for me...I've heard of others using different floor polishes, have you had any luck with alternative products?!?!?!?!?!?!? Thank you in advance!
I had a can of Rustoleum black paint that took over 24 hours to dry to touch. I contacted Rustoleum to see if it was a bad batch. They refunded my money. Something I wasn't expecting.
What ever happened to having a nice set of cragar mags or keystones, idk what the heck those custom wheels are they look like the crappy ones in the general lee kit that aren't even correct American racing vector mags, rest of the kit looks cool though
Can you use floor wax on the paint? I have a bunch of metal cars, but live in a dusty location. They never look as good as new , no matter how good I clean them. I guess once dust hits them, they will never look good again. Car wax did not seem to work, and leaves whitish residues in all crevices. Thank you.

Nice. I bought the '66 Chevelle a few months ago, but haven't touched it yet. Now I can't wait. What kind of adhesive are you using?
Awesome job. I love watching your builds. You're the "Bob Ross" of model cars.

Built this kit probably around 1990 or so.. It came molded in metallic blue. Makes me want to dig it back out. I like the improvements they've made.

another cool build i like your page looks like an easy kitt too do wish the would reissue the 69 74 impalas though all u need is front clips...
I always enjoy watching your builds Chris especially when you have a problem with a kit you give us a heads up on the problem now you corrected it 👍👍
Turned out very nice, Chris. Keep up with the great videos! Very inspiring.

That color would look goo with a black vinyl top👍

Who remembers SAE #71 where they did a string of dioramas depicting the life of a Chevelle?
That super detailed chassis will work with any mid 60s GM muscle car as in real life , the chassis and associated bits were almost identical across Chevy Buick and Pontiac
I can still hear the tu4n over and crank up of the h3art of this Chevelle. This was one ride that hated tires... leave the rubber on the road for others to see.
Nice build. The black stripes show better in the still pictures at the end of the vid than in the vid itself.
Is the Monogram better than this one, or is it the opposite?
IDK if I am here for the model build or the spaghetti western music!
Very nice, The paint came out really nice, I never tried that brand, Do you like it more than Tamiya?

More parts the better, I love the build. Paint, not so much.

@hpiguys workshop I'm thinking of getting this model but I'm new, and I've heard AMT don't always fit good. Was this one easy to fit ?
