unclescott58 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hans, did you have any troubles with yours, regarding the height of the rear suspension? I'm getting close to finishing mine. Using the parts in the kit, my rear tires are right up against the top of the wheel wells. This did not come with low rider parts as far as I know? So I'm wondering what I did wrong with mine?

Thanks Ludwig! I remembered that it was an AMT kit after asking the question ... thanks anyway for taking the time to clarify! Beside the doors feature, the Revell kit seem superior to its AMT counterpart in the details!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YBlock292 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Thank You very much! Scott: No, I didn't have any problems with the height of the rear suspension. My kit, by the way, was one of Revell's "California Wheels"-Series. Francis: Yes, the Revell-Kit has some special features, concerning details. For example, the chrome moldings have to be glued onto the body, so You don't have to use BMF oder a thin brush for this detailing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrucha Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Cool Impala. Nice work on the interior. I like the body color. Too bad Testors discontinued it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techwriter Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Beautiful work! I've got an AMT '58 Impala on my to-do list. It will be painted in a jade green metallic. I'm still thinking about what colors I'll be using for things like the headliner. Oh, and I know what a Y block 292 is. I have an old Ford truck with a 239 Y block under the hood. Love that engine!
