Very nice paint work. I really loved the whole Universal Monsters series when I was a kid, and this is one I was never able to lay my hands on. My mom knew to buy pretty much any Aurora kit, and it was a guaranteed home-run gift in my eyes! I even had duplicates of some, and I'd build one with the glow-in-the-dark parts, and one without. Favorite monster was Creature from The Black Lagoon, but most fun build was Dr. Jekyll as Mr. Hyde because of all the cool lab accessories. Forgotten Prisoner was one I had two or three of! Thanks for the memories! Do more, you have a deft hand for it!

As much as I love a red Chevelle, they do wear other colors so nicely, as exemplified here! Great job!

Hats off to you for building this beast. Heck, hats off to you for even starting this beast. This kit is the bane of my existence; it is my Moby Dick, my Darth Vader, and some hybridized thing even worse than either. It is Darth Dick, and is the reason my eyes twitch and my heart skips a beat before I open any model kit box now. It promises much more than it can deliver, but you have managed to whip it into an actual car model. You are my hero. You can build ANYTHING!

Nice; and that is a cool shade of green. Mind sharing the paint color?

Very clean build of a great looking car. Love it!

Well crafted; very realistic!

You still got a leftover van to build! Would make a nice common-kit subject for a community build; maybe a Cannonball Run vans-only thing, Vannonball, baby!

Ooooh, that is SEXY!

Nice choice of wheels/tires and color; doesn't the the old girl look good in dark gray/black?!

Nice! Love the color choices here, and the paint looks expertly applied.

Nice! Really like the monochromatic color scheme, and you pulled it off with green! ( A color that scares a lot of hot rodders) The body color is very appealing, in my book.

Well done! Nice job and cool color combo; dig the squarebirds!

It has that quality, right? I've got a '60 DeSoto glue bomb that might wear that just fine, or my '60 Imperial custom project I'm anxious to get moving on, or my Dave Deal Glitterbug, or my... I think this could coordinate well with a dark gray in a sort of hot rod homage to 55 Chevy's coral and gray 2-tone. At any rate, I think this Impala is going to have a striking appearance, in a very good way!

Engine and bay look especially nice. What stands out to me is the realistic scale thickness and sag of the plug wires; something not always captured. Nicely done!

Looks sporty no matter how many doors! That blue really flatters it. Nice!

Very nicely illustrated and explained, guys. Posts like this make me proud to be a member. This is precisely what the forum is about.

Modify it! Drop a Corvair engine and drive-train in the back; you'll still have cargo space above, and you gain some up front as well!

No rush..

Patience is key; I watched SO many on ebay selling way high, but over the last couple years, managed to score a glue bomb body (mostly complete), and finally the missing pieces here and there. It can be done!

Nice use of strong colors!

A very nice gesture in memory, and a stunningly attractive 'bird. LOVE that red.

You really nailed this one! I like your concept, and this may be your cleanest, best build so far! VERY cool! Love that version of the Enterprise, and still hoping to find a bargain on one of those kits. ( a bit pricey for me...?)

There are some later El-Camino kits that may be close, as well. Both 1/25 and 1/24, so one should fit.

Just out of curiosity, why do you ask. Did you stumble upon one or the other? Both? A secret stash? WHERE IS IT????

Well, it was helpful to me too, as I have one of those and a glue-bomb 60 New Yorker I need to upgrade. Thanks for the info!
