I love that. I may do one of mine like it.

I remember seeing a 63 Country Squire with buckets and A console here locally in Md. One of my neighbors had a Black 66 Country Squire, and another had a beige one. I think it would be quite handsome in Emberglow. I have a '66 convertible built in that color. I will be a customer for one.

I did a similar conversion with a 1964 Valiant for an imaginary 273 power pack car. I may do the same with my 65 Barracuda. Which is not mint anyway. I love this build so far.

I am quite sure that you will knock that one out of the park.

That is my absolute favorite car. I built the coupe a long time ago. I am looking forward to seeing this one.

The absolute best up top for this application would be the one from the Revell 1965 Chevy Impala Convertible. I used it on my 1965 Olds Dynamic 88 convertible several years ago.

I have had the interior for years, but sorry, I cannot post any pictures as I am in Photobucket Jail for now. Trust me, the interior is a very good fit for the Revell kit.

Funny thing, the last '62 I built was a derelict '62 Bonneville Convertible, to which I added a roof from a MCW '62 Catalina to make a hardtop. I bought them before AMT marketed its current ;62 kit, which I have several, and one under construction as a convertible. A new tool of the '62 Bonneville would have been great. Another Catalina/Ventura does nothing for me.

Absolutely, but unless you are a detail freak like me, the Johan kit will suffice, and even though it is lacking in detail, and has wire axles, the fit is great. I bought a '70 Road Runner body that was based on the unobtainium Jo Han annual, and I robbed a broken '70 Superbird I built and scrapped for the interior and chassis to do a simple project. When they were cheap, I bought up a bunch of AMT Road Runners and GTX for the chassis and powertrains. I did a '69 Coronet R/T that way, and I have an R& R '68 Charger R/T and '68 Coronet R/T resin transits, which I have fitted the updated chassis under, which fit nicely. I plan to use the Dog Dish Caps and Steelies from the Revell '68 Charger for the Coronet R/T. With the Revell '68 through '70 Charger kits, and the AMT '70 Super Bee, I am going to have quite a fleet of turn of the Decade Mopar muscle. Raoul's build puts my AMT '69 GTX to shame, and I won a best Mopar trophy at a contest with it. By the way, I have an AMT '69 GTX Convertible, that I am considering combining it with a derelict JoHan '69 Road Runner to do a '69 Road Runner Convertible, incorporating the superior Johan Grille and Tail lamps into the AMT body, and making the appropriate changes to the body and interior.

Very nice!!!!

Everything flows on that one.

It is based on the Revell kit, which it will fit. I am not sure about the AMT, which I plan to build mine stock. I wish someone did the '63 Dog Dish caps. A sleeper Impala Z11 street car would be quite interesting. In doing the '63 Old Reliable Z11, I believe either the AMT '63 or '64 Corvette Roadster annual kit has the Hands Mag Wheels that were used for a time on the '63 Car.

Beautiful! I love those 70 through 72 Monte Carlos.

Wow!

Very nice.

That is sharp.

Beautiful. I have an unbuilt one in my collection. The body is very brittle, as I fixed the break. I considered getting it cast in resin so that I can build it without worrying about it cracking. It looks so much better than the AMT I built a long time ago.

Looks good to me!

The MCW Impala interior reflects the Impala trim package with a bench seat instead of the Impala SS bucket seats and console. I bought mine to do a Z11 car.

I like those '48's. I may do a matching set of a Ford and a Chevy built along the lines of these cars.

I was reading the latest issue of "Muscle Car Review", and they had a wonderful article on the UFO race car. That is one sharp '65.

The '62 cleaned up nicely. I am still deciding on the direction, as I have what I need to do it as a Replica Stock, but yours looks so good, I may reconsider.

Go for it Dan! I have both an original annual AMT '63 rebuilder, a couple of Revell '63's along with a Model Car World Z11 Impala Interior trans -kit. I have both a set of "Old Reliable" decals, and a set of "Strip Blazer" decals. That was my favorite era for drag cars. I may just take a year, and build nothing but '60's super stocks.

I like that color combination on that car. I painted mine silver, and there was no bleedthrough.

Nice save on a valuable body. I have a couple of oldies I would like to try that technique on.
