Dale Gribble Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 I hear there’s a resin correct factory stock front seat in the works .... I completely forgot about the MCG 67 photoetch, I think I still have one in a drawer.
Classicgas Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 I agree. Im fortunate that i may have a source for my script decals.

Plus you get a paper copy of the grille to practice folding so you can get the angles right.

Classicgas Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 I'll try to talk him into adding them to his lineup.

stavanzer Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 Going Back to the tires on this kit. I have the Squad Rod Nova from a couple years ago. I checked last night. The Bag of tires for both the Nova and this new Impala are the same. Identical tires in both kits. So, my OCD is satisfied now. I'll be using the Stock Wheels from the AMT Chevy Police/Fire van in my build. They are close enough to correct for me. Even better, I have one of those Van kits in my stash already, so I'm set there.
Robberbaron Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 My local Hobart, IN Hobby Lobby also still hasn't gotten these. No surprise since it always seems to be back of the pack as far as stocking new releases. Literally nothing new on the shelves since they reopened, and no spaces marked for anything upcoming.
Snake45 Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 I'm about to give up on HL and order one (along with a couple other things I need) from one of the online retailers.

That’s what I did. I wasn’t waiting for a miracle on HL shelves, so I hit autoworld and grabbed one....
Plowboy Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 The Hobby Lobby near me had one left on the shelf. I was tempted for a minute. But, there were other things I needed more.
Ron Hamilton Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 I picked mine up yesterday ,and I like the look of it. I have never seen the Supernatural TV show, so I have no interest in that particular version. I decided to build a replica stock 67 Impala 4 door hardtop. I did my research concerning what was available from the factory. I have a deep parts box, so doing an interesting variation will not be a problem. I believe that I have the front seat issue solved, but I have yet to lay a finger on the kit.

I'm glad to see something different nowadays. The interior isn't a biggie because I'm sure SOMEONE out there in resin land will fab up what's needed in order to make it factory-stock. Swirls and other minor bodywork-related issues can easily be overcome. Enjoy the kit for what is IS or don't BUY it; NOT a difficult decision at ALL. Thank you for sharing the pictures of what's inside. I'm going to buy two of them. Exactly!
disconovaman Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Leviathan Impala Sam and Dean had Dopplegangers that drove a 67 Impala in one season... the fake Winchesters were trying to break laws and cause trouble for Sam and Dean so they would get arrested and go to prision. Their Impala was the same except for the wheels and license plates. The kit has supplyed both sets of plates so you can build the Leviathan Impala, all you need is a set of 18 inch Polished torque thrusts... Which Dean tells Sam that he's gonna steal when they see the car pulling into town...
Dale Gribble Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Any market for a factory 4 door bench seat ?? It’s within a few hours of hitting the rubber ??

Daddyfink Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Found this at HL today, and no, I didn't buy it. Looks like it would be a good source of parts for those wanting to improve the kit.

Carmak Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 These just hit the local Hobby Lobby here in Iowa. Two of them came home with me.
