ranma Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 After some trial and error I found the best fitting replacement glass for a MPC'68 Impala. MCW (model car world) suggested using the glass from the AMT'67 Impala on their resin bodies. I found that the glass from the Revell '65/66 Impala's work much better, In fact they fit the car without any problem. No cutting to fit like that from the AMT '67. Note: this is for the windshield and rear window's Only the vent window's can be made by hand. This is a true MPC '68 Impala body with the Revell '66 Impala glass put in. which fit the mpc body like the original glass would. Bonus is you get the sun visors and can mount a rearview mirror on it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Interesting! I have an AMT '67 convertible I might need a windshield for at some point. Cool project, BTW! Drive on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I'd also check the AMT '65 Pontiac Bonnevilles. The real cars used the same glass as the Chevys so it stands to reason that the kit glass would work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 This is a good example of how the different model companies interpret the shape and size of the pieces of a kit. Those windshields should be identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The windshield would work with a little alteration, Back window will not work as the Bonneville's glass is a different shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
