Hey David. Is the the Foose version ? Did you leave off the chrome strip that attaches to the hood ? I just finished this kit and had a problem with the front grill and bumper assy. Did you ? Your car looks cool !

The Foose version. I guess that answers the question I was going to ask. Is this the Revell or AMT '64 Impala? It looks like the trunk opens. So I figured it had to be the Revell kit. The Foose comment confirmed it. No offense meant, but from your pictures it doesn't look like it is that much better than the old AMT kit. I've been wondering about these modern Revell remakes of old AMT Chevys. I have purchased their '59, '60, '65, and '66 Impalas. All are nice kits, and have not released by AMT in many years. I've seen the the Revell '58. And there are enough differences with the AMT '58 that I plan picking that one up. But, looking at your photos, other than the opening trunk, what advantages are there to the Revell after the kit is built sitting on shelf looking pretty?

In my opinion i think it has better quality it doesn't fall apart. You get to build most of the car. I have had amt models before. I didn't like them because you couldn't customize them as much and you didn't get to build everything on the car. Every amt model I've had I didn't get to build the chassis and the rear end. Also revell has more detail here and there.
