Yeah, I know, Baldwin Motion never did a '67 Impala.
However, as a kid in the late '60's - early '70's I was captured by the Baldwin Motion ads in my Dads Hot Rod Magazines. Then, in 1974 I purchased my Uncles '67 SS. It was a small block, Powerglide version. First thing I did was to it was headers and a set of used Torque Thrust with Uniroyal Tiger Paws. When AMT came out with this new tooled kit in 1997 I was blown away. The box art car was EXACTLY the same as my SS. Same color. Same interior. LESS the 427 and hood. I went out and bought 4. Thus started the longest build in modeling history!
I mocked up the 427, with a slightly "used" look, and a parts box intake and Holley in 1998. The hood was built in 2000. Then, other things got in the way. Several moves for my job, where the Impala became lost in the packing. Then I started building 1/48 aircraft and selling them on Ebay, and eventually building solely for clients.
Found the Impala again in 2005 .Did the suspension. Then back into a coma it went. Found it AGAIN several years ago and "rattle canned" the paint. Then in 2016 I built the interior, and gathered up parts to finish it the way I dreamed a Baldwin Motion would have looked. Wheels from the Revell '62 Corvette gasser. Tri carbs from and old 'vette kit, and the EXCELLENT M.T .tires from Joseph Osborns "Fireball Modelworks".
I am slowly working toward FINISHING this thing. If the paint doesn't polish out I have another body. I won't cop out on the painting this time. I'll airbrush. Haven't figured out the graphics yet. And, there will be NO cheesy side pipes.
Critique welcome.
