bykr Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Thinking about going with a nitrous big block like some of the great drag racing Impala's like Nick Scavo's.
matthijsgrit Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Nice build! What is the rear chassis section (incl. tubs) you used? MG

Brutalform Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 Looking good. I love a big, heavy, fast Impala. I built a 9 second 66 Impala, with nitrous a little over a year ago. I have a 70 kit in my stash. Is your body straight, or did it need some tweaking to get it straight? Mine is a bit crooked probably because of no fender or cowl support. Ill be following your build.
bykr Posted May 25, 2019 Author Posted May 25, 2019 Mine was straight. It had bracing between the fenders but once removed it's pretty flexy!

The rear wheels are slot car wheels I get from a guy on here, the tires are from www.futurattraction.com and the intake and trans are from the parts box, I believe they're resin.

bykr Posted June 11, 2019 Author Posted June 11, 2019 Some minor progress on the build. Shaved the Impala emblems , opened up the rear wheelwells and painted the interior tub and chassis-my first attempt with an airbrush! I got the big block from BNL resins with split dominators on a tunnel ram.

bykr Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 Updated photos. Got the 700" Big Block together and wired. Installed front/rear suspension and mounted brakes/wheels and tires. Mounted engine and working on hood, interior,etc.
Fish_65 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Super cool project. I'll be watching. What are the new front wheels ? I have a stalled project that's almost identical to yours. I used a modified Revell '67 Chevelle Pro St chassis under mine.

The wheels are slot car wheels I got from a guy on here named Vince in the trader section.

bykr Posted July 20, 2019 Author Posted July 20, 2019 Update: Cowl hood finished, working on chassis, interior and engine detailing.
bykr Posted August 12, 2019 Author Posted August 12, 2019 Update: Body painted using Testors Colors by Boyd Chezoom Teal and Testors enamel clear. Interior tub finished, radiator core support and firewall detailed. Currently working on final body detail, should be wrapping this up soon.
Brutalform Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 Looked super bad in primer, even badder in paint. This is coming together very nice.
Brutalform Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I’m totally blown away. Your details, especially under the hood are top notch. What did you use for your under hood plumbing? Styrene hex, or aluminum? Also what did you use for the braided line? This build is getting me in the mood to do another big, fast car, using my 70 Impala body.
