Awesome job, man. Looks great, dare i say perfect.

WOW! That is sharp. Really nice job!

[Slim Louis]

Looks really real, great job!

Looks great, just like the other models I have seen coming off your workbench! I dare to say that this is not your first BMF job either, I have build two '62 HT's and I remember that the side trim was a bear to cut nice and straight. Seems like your hands are steadier than mine!

Beautiful work! Chevy could have used it in a 62 sales brochure.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Yes Olle, the trim was a bear to get right! It's not engraved real well so I lined up straight edge of the foil with the top of the side trim and just cut the bottom edge. It was pretty tough to cut around those door handles also, I don't know how many times I peeled it off and started over! At least it was a convertible so there was no side and rear window trim to worry about!

This my favorite year Impala and your build is beautiful. It reminds me a lot of my 1:1 62SS(except mines a hardtop.)Even the color is the same.

Needless to say, I love this car. great job.

Bill, that's an excellent build as always! That color and interior combo scream "1962"! Did this kit originally have an uptop? I could've swore I had this kit, but can't remember from the stack of boxes stored in the basement.

Ed that is a beautifully clean '62!

GM sure knew how to style cars back in those days! At least they made tasteful changes from year to year back then, and not hang onto the same ugly styling like they do today for what seems like an eternity.

Thanks for the comment Bill! There was no uptop in this kit, I wish there was, these '62's looked just as sharp with the top up or down. Does anyone know if the Lindberg '61 Impala convertible has an uptop? it would probably fit like a glove.
