1963 Chevrolet Impala SS Interior

[Kevinch]

Hello folks.  I want to build a '63 Impala SS kit as a gift for my brother-in-law.  He is currently restoring his (white exterior, aqua interior).  I know I won't be able to get it exact, but I'd like to get it as close as reasonable given my skill level & costs.  Example: his car has factory air & none of the scale dashboards have the the molded in air ducts.  All the kits seem to come with a 409, his is a small block but I've an unbuilt AMT Camaro kit with a small block that I plan to swap in.  His car is an automatic, all the kits seem to be 4-speeds but in 1963 the shifters were very similar so that shouldn't be an issue.

One thing is though: his car has a full length floor console & from what I can see none of the kits do.  Does anyone know of a 1:24 or 1:25 kit that might have a similar console, or something that could be modded?  I don't think I have the skill to build one from scratch.  Any help or suggestions for this "revisiting" model builder from his early teens is appreciated.

Very minimal differences between the 4 spd & auto consoles....the AMT kit is molded in tub but very accurate.....scratch a auto cover plate & your good to go.

Thanks for that Khils!
