BlackSheep214 Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I bought this kit well over 20 years prior to getting married. My original plan was to paint it a Pearly white. Fast forward 20 plus years later, the paint job was meh... I didn't care for it. So... the body got treated with an Easy Off paint stripping bath, primed and repainted again. Then a road block happened. I was missing the rear tail light deack. Thankfully a member in a another forum I frequent in offered me a replacement part but first he wanted to mold another for his kit. Enough talk about her, it's now time to reveal her to the masses after 20 plus years of sitting in the box unfinished. A side note... check out the steering wheel color scheme. I stumbled across that when I was looking at interior shots of the real '62 Impala SS. I love finding these little Easter egg type details no one catches notice of. I think this makes the whole interior pop and stand out. Edited July 8, 2020 by BlackSheep214
doorsovdoon Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 I like the colour combo. Those wheels look great, I used the same ones on my 64' Impala.
Jim B Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Great looking Impala. Very well done. I like the steering wheel.
BlackSheep214 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Posted July 8, 2020 FYI.... I didn’t use the tires that came with the kit. I opted to use different tires from my tires stash. The rims were hand painted using the chrome pumped out of the Molotow Chrome Pen. Once they were done, I let them cure in a span of two weeks untouched until I was ready to install them on the tires.

The 1989 release of the 64 Impala by AMT comes with a set of wheels that look exactly like those.
