Impala Super Sport for 1962

[XYHARRY]

I'll bet you had alot of fun doing this one Jon, I know when I add extra detail to my models it makes me very happy. Outstanding work on this beautiful 62 Chevy, well done and thanks for sharing. 

Cheers,

Well  done build and excellent detail!

[papajohn97]

Fabulous scale modeling! Really impressed how well you opened the doors and trunk and you were able to get them to look pretty flush with the adjacent body when closed.

[Hi-Po]

Great looking build and the detailing is outstanding.

[TheBEAUMONTGURU]

Absolutely next level details,  well done! and the vette is equally impressive.   You nailed the correct details like the clutch linkage, door jambs,  hinges, etc.  incredible!

If there was a scale ignition key, l reckon if you turned it, that 409 would rumble into life, this build is that realistic. Awesome .??

IMHO your detail work is awesome, especially the undercarriage and interior.

Nuts, just nuts!  But the good kind.  Lots to like about this.

Very impressive build!  Excellent detailing throughout.

When I was 17  I owned a 1962 Impala 327.  It was just 10 years old and didn’t look as nice as this. 
Beautiful job. The lettering on the radiator hose, something I could never do. Care to share the method?

Thank you, but I must admit the radiator hose lettering is actually a decal in the kit !

An excellent build. I know it is not easy to pull off adding all the extra detail convincingly but you have done it - in spades. WELL DONE

[Zippi]

That looks really nice.  The craftsmanship is second to none.  I'm liking this one.

[Bainford]

Lovely Impala. Lots of very fine details bring it to life. Very nice work.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Gorgeous! Beautiful detailing. Super job!

As so many have already noted this is one beautifully detailed model.  Well done!

What did you use for what appears to be the parking brake cable and cable housing?

Wire Guitar string, sorry I don't what size, I got them from a friend and he told me you can get them at a music supply for cheap. You can peel the wrap wire off and insert the core wire into a drilled hole, really easy to use. Armored brake lines, speedo cable, e-brakes

Very nicely done

Cool idea!  Thanks:
