Street Sleeper wip

[Lizard Racing]

Is anyone building the Supernatural Impala 4-door OOB? This is one of those kits you can make anything out of.

I'm turning mine into a Biscayne 427 that looks like an old grandma car until one pushes the gas.  In 1967 the 427 with 4-speed was an option, not a model.

One of the changes is to remove the Impala taillights (two stop lights and one back-up light) and fabricate one stop and one back-up per side.  Evergreen strip will be used for the lights.

There is a bit of work in turning an Impala 4-door hardtop into a Biscayne 4-door sedan.  The side trim had to be removed.  The B-pillar had to be added.  Frames for the door windows had to be added.  Reference photos are in the background.  The interior had to be plained-up to reflect the cheaper trim level from Impala to Biscayne. I was glad to see the kit came with a bench front seat.

The new kit itself seems to be pretty good.  There is a lot of detail, especially the chassis and engine compartment.  I won't be able to exactly duplicate the Biscayne changes, but it should do a good imitation.  

Primer went on today and paint should happen tomorrow. Dark green.

I invite anyone else working on one of these to submit your WIP.

I'm not into 4-doors all that much, but I'll watch your build.... ??

I'll be looking in, too.

Nice work on the B Pillar for your conversion. I like your idea here. In '67 I ordered a new '68 Bel Air 2 door with the 385hp 427 and 4 speed. the reason for the 385 hp engine was that was the top engine that they would put factory Air Conditioning in.  Many Law Enforcement Agencies used the '67 and '68 full size Chevrolets but most were the Turbo 400 transmission.
