House Of 1000 Corpses 1967 Impala

[1967RMP]

In a previous thread (https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/190546-why-was-the-supernatural-67-impala-4-door-kit-discontued/) Matt T. suggested that the Supernatural 1967 Impala kit would be a good basis for the sheriff's car from the movie House Of 1000 Corpses. It being a 4-door hardtop, I agreed and did as much research as I could. (I watched more of the movie than I wanted to - not my cup of tea.) I got the wheels the spares box, not perfect but good enough for this. The lights are from the Johan 1968 Fury kit. I couldn't find the right color at the hobby store, but I did have some automotive touch up paint I laid on top of the well-primered styrene.

Cool Impala.  Well done.

That looks amazing! I've always thought this kit would make a great cop car.

[Horrorshow]

Wow, you really nailed that one, looks fabulous.

Great looking replica of the movie car. Like the dusty look.

Great job on the model. The weathering looks really cool. Nasty movie tho.

Thanks everyone! When shooting a pic, I've learned Tip 1: make sure the wobbly wheels are straight. Tip 2: use a real camera. Tip 3: make sure the cat's hair isn't on the windshield.

way cool build. Whenever I get to my 67, it will be a cop car.

Well done!

You havn't missed much. It's a Rob Zombie movie, which is the only reason for its somewhat cult status. But other than that it's mid at best.

Sweet build!

Very nice

Wonder why AMT does not change the front seat and the wheels and re-issue the kit?
