MPC '68 Impala glass replacement Found!!!

[ranma]

After some trial and error I found the best fitting replacement glass for a MPC'68 Impala. MCW (model car world) suggested using the glass from the AMT'67 Impala on their resin bodies. I found that the glass from the Revell '65/66 Impala's work much better, In fact they fit the car without any problem. No cutting to fit like that from the AMT '67. Note: this is for the windshield and rear window's  Only the vent window's can be made by hand. This  is a true MPC '68 Impala body with the Revell '66 Impala glass put in. which fit the mpc body like  the original glass would. Bonus is you get the sun visors and can mount a rearview mirror on it as well.

Interesting! I have an AMT '67 convertible I might need a windshield for at some point. 

Cool project, BTW! Drive on!

Snake I would think that would also work in that '67

I'd also check the AMT '65 Pontiac Bonnevilles.

The real cars used the same glass as the Chevys so it stands to reason that the kit glass would work too.

This is a good example of how the different model companies interpret the shape and size of the pieces of a kit. Those windshields should be identical.

The windshield would work with a little alteration, Back window will not work as the Bonneville's glass is a different shape
