Looks like a good start on this 64 Chevy.  Looks like the heads of a 409 setting there.

I just paint the motor, soon I'll post some photos. Thank you Bob!

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.

I usually live the metal axle, ora add metal pins if needed, I find it more secure to hold the weight of the car.

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. :)

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.

It is always fun to build! :) Agree on the casting, it is pretty nice and clean, with minimal flashing.

This kit is the same as the original issue. For more detail you could slip a '62 chassis under it.

Good to know about the '62 chassis. Thanks Bob!

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.

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.

For some reason I cannot change the title of the tread... The trim on the door is removed, maybe the light make it too shiny.

Looking good... where in the world did you come up with the material for the interior?

 I ask at work if they had a material that can suit my project. I work as Model maker for an animation studio. :)

  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

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!
