avidinha Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 I got this kit from a friend. It had previously been built. The body had been stripped and the chassis was still (poorly) assembled. The hood had been broken and expertly repaired. One of the A pillars had been broken, repaired, and broken again. The front bumper is a Modelhaus repop. It was missing the front and rear valence, engine, steering wheel and core support. The chassis was in such bad shape that I decided I'd lower it to hide it and because the engine was missing anyway, I glued the hood shut. I used a spare steering wheel and core support from a '70 Impala. The rear valence is the custom rear valence from a '70 Impala and I got a resin copy of the front valence from Page Resin. The wheels and tires are from Pegesus. 2
hedotwo Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Great save... looking great! The big Imp's have always been my favorites.
David G. Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Nice work on that. That color is very close to one of the popular Chevy colors of that era. David G.

I actually moved to Utah recently, I guess I should update my profile. I used to live about 10 minutes from where they held the HAMS show and I went every year.
Plowboy Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Nice looking '69 Impala Anthony! The color and wheels suits it well!
carrucha Posted June 19, 2021 Posted June 19, 2021 Cool Impala. I really dig the stance and wheel/tire combo. Good work!
Bainford Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Sweet Impala. Love the look. Colour and wheel choice are perfect. Very cool.
br67 Posted June 20, 2021 Posted June 20, 2021 Nice clean build sir. Love the colour scheme and stance
Koellefornia Kid Posted June 21, 2021 Posted June 21, 2021 This one sits where it belongs: in the weeds! Super nice Impala!
