Brizio Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Well I just start to play aroung with theis kit. Years ago i build a '62, now is time for a '64.. Little disapponted thet the kit under frame have the metal rods to connect the wheels. I though it had more detail. Not big deal, is under the car anyway...
Zippi Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 Looks like a good start on this 64 Chevy. Looks like the heads of a 409 setting there.

mrmike Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 I avoid the forward metal axle by replacing it with short plastic rods the size of the axle. I glue them on so they don't roll on the table. I even did this to the Revell Foose Ford FD-100 pickup.
NOBLNG Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 I’ll follow along. These are one of my favourite Chevys.

I usually live the metal axle, ora add metal pins if needed, I find it more secure to hold the weight of the car. 9 hours ago, NOBLNG said: I’ll follow along. These are one of my favourite Chevys. I like better the '62, but this is a specific build and need a '64.
David G. Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 It should be a fun build. It has the winning combination of being a fairly simple kit and it's nicely cast. Good opportunities for a great looking build. David G.
bobss396 Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 This kit is the same as the original issue. For more detail you could slip a '62 chassis under it.

Agree on the casting, it is pretty nice and clean, with minimal flashing. On 10/20/2023 at 5:33 AM, bobss396 said: This kit is the same as the original issue.

Brizio Posted November 12, 2023 Author Posted November 12, 2023 Little progress on this one... Drilled out the front head light, will replace them with clear one. The interior got some upgrade too... I made new steering wheels, rear speakers and key chain... The rest of the interior got new upholstery... And is completed. It was teh most tricky interior I hawe done. but I think it came out good. Before start, i painted few parts on the interior and painted chrome. 2
Bills72sj Posted November 12, 2023 Posted November 12, 2023 Following. That is quite the fuzzy interior.
Maindrian Pace Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Very recognizable car, although the driver door trim should be removed for screen accuracy. That interior is spot on, it will be interesting to see how you do the dingle balls on the roof rails.

The trim on the door is removed, maybe the light make it too shiny.
KWT Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 Looking good... where in the world did you come up with the material for the interior?

Nazz Posted November 16, 2023 Posted November 16, 2023 Great looking Impala Fabrisio. Love the interior. Can you tell me where you got the material for the fur? I have a project this would work great in. Thanks Jerry

Thanks Jerry I ask at the costume person at work if they had a material that could work in 1/25 scale. They gave me to try few pieces, I liked this one because is softer, even after the color is applied. Thank you Jerry! 3 hours ago, milo1303s said: Chech and Chong would be proud !!!

David G. Posted November 17, 2023 Posted November 17, 2023 Love the wild interior! With padding like that, who needs seatbelts? David G.
