Matt87 Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Lots of aftermarket detailing accessories plus resin SS hubcaps for a more base look. Also added vinyl top I used MM textured paint left at Riders in GR after Testors discontinued them. Scratchbuilt many things on it. MCW mossport green metallic to replicate GM Mountain green metallic. Two month and 1 week project. I'm very happy with my Impala 7
Horrorshow Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Even has the fuzzy dice, nice touch. Great build all around!
Matt87 Posted September 29, 2022 Author Posted September 29, 2022 Thank you! The fuzzy dice is from Kens Kustom Kat supply
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 I really like it. That color is perfect
rsmodels Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 I really like this one Matthew. Wonderful engine detail. Great colors and looks good with the vinyl roof.
happy grumpy Posted September 29, 2022 Posted September 29, 2022 Great job on the impala, beautiful interior and engine bay.
espo Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Cleanly detailed trim and engine. I always liked that shade of green that GM offered at that time.
AMT68 Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 Nice attention to detail and a great color choice. I just did one in a similar color to yours. The resin full wheel covers look are also a nice alternative to the slotted rally wheels. Even if I could find the wheel covers I wouldn't be able to airbrush an alclad like product on them.
carrucha Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 Cool Impala! I like the body color and hubcaps. What is your source for the hubcaps?
Matt87 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Posted October 2, 2022 I always have liked that shade of green to. The resin hubcaps I found on eBay I was told they are older ModelHaus resin parts. I agree I like the slotted rally rims but also kind of prefer these. Thanks I spent some time on the trimwork.
Matt87 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Posted October 2, 2022 Amt68 I actually just brush painted Testors Aluminum onto the hubcaps and then used fine tipped micro brushes to detail the trim. 1

Thanks! I thought those might be Modelhaus parts.
Matt87 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Posted October 2, 2022 I seen picture of this one in mountain green with SS hubcaps. That made me want to build mine like this. Beutiful car
