om617 Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Started this with AMT 1970 Impala kit. I used chassis,engine,doors and quarter panels and 20% of the trunk,interior bucket,wheels,part of dash from the 1970. The roof and sail panel is 1969 Wildcat,the front fenders,hood,bumpers,valance f/b is resin,tail lights are Modelhaus. Transmission is resin automatic,some scratch build under the hood that aren`t 100% correct,but an improvement imo compared to the stock kit. Noticed the car surfing Google,and wanted to try do somthing similar. Color is LeMans Blue,Parchment interior,Turbojet 427 & Turbohydramatic (Th400). Thanks for looking
Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Looks great! Like the engine and interior detail.
majel Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Great job! My second car was a '69 Impala, opposite colors of your SS, white car with blue interior. Unfortunately mine wasn't an SS, it had a 327, electric windows, electric seats and locks. I honestly bought it from a little old lady........ One of my favorite cars.
Hmann68 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 One nice Impala! Great color combo and those Cragars look great.
espo Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 You have a good mix of body parts. I think the Roof from the Buick is what gives this model a unique look. Very nice and a perfect choice of wheels for this Cruiser.
Snake45 Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Very, VERY nice work, and it's a different version from the rare and seldom seen AMT kit to boot. Well done and model on!
Robberbaron Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Very well done! I don't think I've ever seen anyone create a '69 Impala with the Sport Coupe roofline. I also like the Caprice hidden headlights, which are a popular upgrade with owners of 1:1 '68 and '69 Impalas. (Why GM didn't offer it as a factory option with the SS package is beyond me)
