mademan Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Been doing a bit of work on another project, 67 Impala with all SS trim shaved. I still need to add the lower belt chrome and vinyl top chrome. I wanted a more Yellow gold, like Granada gold.... however my airbrush compressor went out and I am wanting to wrap up the build by the end of the month ( club build off).... so I settled for a can of '67 SierraFawn gold that it had for a while..... its actually way off, lol. I also made a split bench. I also added the i6 from a trumpeter Nova kit ( while not totally correct, its convincing) Ive done a bit of weathering on the chassis and frame as well as the engine, I just want it to be a fairly stock looking , mabey lowered a bit on either cragars and thin whites, or stock hubcaps. the frame is open and hollow... so I filled it all in before painting and weathering split bench made using a stock rear seat, and some sheet styrene shaved lower trim, and fender badges. filled low spots/sink marks and shaved all mold lines. the car will have a black vinyl top. and black interior.

mademan Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) In the background are 2 of my other 67 Impala projects, a Nassau blue 67 SS, and a weathered "barn find' patina'd sleeper with a 6" outlaw cowl, which will feature a twin turbo LSx from clearly scale. also her is my 1:1 SuperSport... which I guess is why I have an obsession with building scale models.

charlie8575 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 A 6-cylinder Impala? Cool.Want a real screwball? Do a 6-cylinder SS. '67 was the last year for them, and yes, they actually did build a few.Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Hamilton Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Nice project. I plan on doing a base Impala Coupe myself, but mine will be Triple Black, with a Big Block, and a 4-speed, with A/C. I have what I need to build it, except time.I have 3 '67's built in my collection, and a couple more will be sweet.I can't wait to see it done.

W-409 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Very nice work so far! I built one of these kits myself as well and it was a lot of fun. Nice to see a bit different build being made in here. I like the engine and bench seat. Nice bodywork too. I'm interested in seeing more of this!
