Awesome job on the interior, although the belts look a little too wide for 1966? I love the color. Impala's rule

[Darbo]

Very nice, where did you get the wheels from are they in the kits or taken from another kit?

[W-409]

Great job with it so far. Can't wait to see more. That color is great, and wheels look good too. I'm building AMT's '67 Impala and I'll use Rallye Wheels to it. Interior looks really nice, keep it coming.

[oldscool]

Nice work so far. The wheels do look good.

Very nice . . . I likes it.

This looks great.I've been trying to come up with the right color to paint my 66,and I think I've found it.

What paint did you use?

[charlie8575]

You don't see too many full-size Chevys from the mid-60s in gold, which is too bad, because it looks nice on them.

Coming along nicely so far. If i may suggest- liven up under the hood a little. There are some details there that look like they need to be painted. You should also consider hitting that flat black with a coat of semi-gloss clear, as that will be closer to correct. it would also be wise to do that to the seats, as vinyl isn't dead-flat.

Great build, i will be watching this build, i sold my 1.1 66 impala 2 years ago, loved that car, white with blue interier. cant wait to see this done, beautiful car.

Tyrone, I like where this is going! Couple questions:

1) What silver(s) did you use on the part of the dash surrounding the speedometer? (Testors enamel? ModelMaster Metalizers?) Looks like you nailed the look.

2) Did you do anything to enhance the door lines? (Rescribe? Darker primer?) They look very realistic.

I look forward to seeing your next update.

Tyrone,

Nice attention to detail. The '66 Impala was always a favorite of mine.

BTW, what paint/color is the body?

[Haubenschild]

Looking good!

[Dominik]

Can't get wrong with an Impala. Like it, looks very good to this point.

Love the older Chevy cars....Looks great!!!

[Modellpularn]

Looks good! The grille could use some thinned black paint.

THANKS fellas, forgot to mention that, but the grille still need to be detailed as well, thanks again...

It's looking good Tyrone! '66 Chevies are my favorite! I used to own a Caprice. The grille on this kit opens up pretty easily.

Thanks Roger I'll have to look into opening up the grille instead of painting it, I used to have a 66 2 door, and my dad used to have a 65 2 door, and I sold mine like an idiot...

[tyrone]

thanks fellas, well I took Rogers advise and opened up the front grille, also finished up the bmf, and added the door handles and aide mirror, thanks for looking and comments welcome...

thanks again, the color is dupli color sunburst gold metallic..

[66belair]

That turned out very nice.

[Rdkingjay]

Exceptional looking car and a great paint job!
