RDean58 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I started this one about 8 years ago. I decided to take the 409 from Revell's 62 Impala kit and transplant it into the 64. Simple right? Both cars have basically the same frame in real life so it should not have been a big deal to put the engine in it. This is how much of the 64 frame I had to grind away to get the engine to fit. But, I got the engine to fit! Shot the Testors 64 Chevy Silver blue paint on it today. The interior will either be a metallic blue or white and black, not sure right now.

Trendsetta68 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Great start......I'm liking the engine swap idea. JM.02 but a blue interior would be awesome !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDean58 Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 The interior is painted with Testors pearl blue metallic (enamel) paint that I've had for years. It matches well with the Testors auto lacquer 64 Chevy Silver blue metallic paint. I think this color is no longer available since I only had a partial can and wanted to get another one but could not find it at two online sources. The body paint was cleared with Testors untra clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDean58 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I added a bit of interest in the trunk. Some craft paper, a little bit of gray paint, and a jack from some AMT kit. Some groups shots while I'm at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkychiken Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 i'm assuming they're all impalas, they look great so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
