Very nicely done!

Awesome ‘66 !

Awesome looking car , love the motor! Very nicely detailed!

As a means to get over a builders slump, I started building these cars from my past, no pressure, don’t have to be prefect, not for contest , just kick back and build for the sake of building, and having fun , I’ll build a couple more of these cars from my past then I’ll get back to my more serious builds. lately I’ve been on a trip down memory lane, the past couple of months I’ve build and posted here on the site a couple models of my old cars from the 70’s and another model of a ‘57 Chevy my older brother drove to high school in 1966, I’m in the middle of building old cars from my past , at least the ones I have photos of, next on my list is this 1967 Chevy impala SS that my older sister Margie and her husband Bob bought back in 1968 , the car was a year old when they bought it, I myself was about 8 years old at the time and remember this car fondly, over the years they owned a few pretty cool cars and cooler Choppers , but this car was always my favorite , the paint is 1967 Chevy impala Emerald Turq. Met from Model car world , and the vinyl top is MCW black vinyl paint, and worked very well, the kit is Amt 67 impala, chrome wheels and baby moons are from the parts box , I’ve added a couple pics of the real car, thanks for looking!!

Thanks guys for all the comments!!

Thanks guys so much for all the comments on these two old chevys , I’ve got more in the works and can’t wait to post em up .

Awesome build!

That’s an awesome looking late 50’s style early’60’s custom, love the clear top !

Thanks, it was north Long Beach, my brother went to Jordan high school.

Ive been on a kick lately of building some of my old real cars and cars that I remember as a kid, in 1965/66 when I was about 6 years years old , my older brother was in high school in Long Beach California and in 1965 and ‘66 owned a ‘57 Chevy that I wasn’t allowed near but I remember it parked in the driveway, sadly there is only one picture of this car and in its last stage of coolness before being towed off to the junkyard, talking with my brother a couple weeks ago he explained how the motor started running bad so him and a couple of his 16 year old buddies decided to pull the motor out to repair and , well the motor never made its way back under the hood, instead found it’s way into the trunk never to see day light again, while the car sat waiting on the street next to our house it was a victim of hit and run, ( notice rear driver side Quarter panel ) but as a small child I remember this car being very cool and have built a model from this memory, talking with my brother asking him what he remembered about the car as I built the model he explained that the paint was a two tone stock for a 1957 Chevy , larkspur blue top and harbor blue bottom, these colors I bought from Model Car World , to lower the car he put lowering blocks on the rear and front springs were heated, sitting on chrome reverse wheels, he also had a record player inside under the dash , and he remembered that someone gave him a fuel injection system for his small block, it always stayed in a box in the trunk I’m sure it must have been nice driving this car to school , at least for as long as it did run . In the back ground of the black and white photo is the Chevy parked on the street right before it was towed off, in the foreground is my sister and her husband with their brand new 1966 ford fairlane. At 5 or 6 years old this is probably is my very first memory of what I though was a cool car and sent me on my way of a lifetime of being interested only in cool and custom vehicles, for this build I use a pro shop amt 57 Chevy, if you zoom in on the interior pic you can see the record player! Thanks for looking!!

Very cool! Dig the color!

Sweet little mustang!

Awesome looking rivi !

Awesome little nova !!

Over the years I’ve been very lucky to have owned some pretty cool cars, and when I first started building models I had planned to build a model of a few of my favorites , at least the ones that I still had a picture of, well that was 1993 and I’m just now starting to build some of my favorite cars I’ve owned over the years, Here’s a couple cars I once owned as a teenager , in 1977 at 17 years old I had a 1956 Chevy with a 6 cylinder and 2 speed automatic transmission and in 1979 at age 19 a 1957 Chevy with a 327 and Muncie 4 speed, both super fun cars , I’ve owned a lot of cars in my life so I’m planning on building more of these and will post them as I get em done, thanks for looking!
