Luis_555 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Hello!! It's my 2nd topic here, maybe some of you, have seen my Chevy Nova on the "Under the glass" section... Well... heres the 2nd model that i'm building, and 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS. The only two things I know since the begginin, was that i'll not make it a lowrider and the color will be metalic blue... So, searching for pictures of details about this car, I found this beautiful car, that represent exactly what I'm tryin do to with my AMT Impala! I started with the engine. Basically, I mixed parts from the custom version of the kit, with parts from the stock model. Here's the engine already finished. (I'll only do some wash on the valve covers) Edited September 25, 2011 by Luis_555
Luis_555 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Continuing... First I was thinking about an white interior, but I realize that it will look too much classic for a muscle car, so I made it in black with a two tone dashboard. I have to split the pictures in more than one post... Edited September 25, 2011 by Luis_555
Luis_555 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 3rd post I do some wash on front grill and on the wheels. Here's just a comparative, the left one was "washed". And finally... today I have finished the body paint, I think it looked really nice since I don't use airbrush yet! I hope U like it guys, it's my second model and I'm really enjoying doin it!!
gasser59 Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Wow!! Really? Second model? You have really done a terrific job so far on this. Did the Cragars come in this kit?
Luis_555 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 Thanks Gasser59, that's my second, I started two months ago on modelism I guess... =D And yes, this kit come with Cragars and original steel wheels with hubcaps, the engine give two options too, a custom chrome blower and a stock version, I just use some chrome parts on the stock version because I really dont think that a scoop will fit well on a 64 Impala...
Modellpularn Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I must say I'm impressed, if this is your second model! You sure you haven't done any modeling at all before.....
W-409 Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Amazing work, and if this truly is your second model, I'm really impressed! Great job so far, keep us posted. That engine looks really good, and of course Chevrolet W-Block is nice to see, as you maybe can think from my "screen name".
Luis_555 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Modellpularn - Thanks. Yes, that's my second model, yesterday I speed up the work over the Impala and if everything goes well I'll finish him tonight. Daniel Lynch - Thank! W-409 - haha I think you like the old 409!!

Skydime Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 I remember having this kit years ago. I actually found my grille/front bumper the other day. It's a simple fun kit.
Foxer Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Very nice .. especially a 2nd model! You must have spray painted other things before .. you paint looks very smooth. I'm liking your color choices also.
Luis_555 Posted September 29, 2011 Author Posted September 29, 2011 Thank you guys! The Impala is finished! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48349 Bye!!
