1994 Chevy Impala SS aka Champala

[Tumbler75]

Finally! A first for 2009 for me!

This one is the Revell/Monogram 1994 Chevy Impala SS I call Champala. I wanted a car that had the look of someone with a Champagne Taste but on a nice subtle beer budget. The car is painted Cayenne Red Exterior and Ghost/Medium Grey Tu-Tone Interior w/ black accents. Wheels are modded, li'l touches here and there, along with lowering the car a scale 2 inches to an Impala's correct ride height. Enjoy!

Coming from a Longtime '91-96 B-Body Lover, and an owner of a '96 Caprice since '03, I must say Very Nicely Done Bro Best thing about the '94-96 Impala's, was that they could be had on a Beer Budget, but they could easily Beat the Snot alot out of those who could afford the Champange Lifestyle

***Edit*** Btw, all of Revell's Bubble Bodies have problems with the Headlamp Assemlies sitting correctly, and the easiest way to fix the problem is by trimming the Locator Pins, and Glue Mounting them to sit flush against the edge of the Front Bumper Cover.... The piece of the Bumper Cover it should be resting against, is actually a Rubber Filler Piece(Typically Black, but can be painted body color when the Owner decides to color match, or the Painter didn't mask them off properly), that fills the gaps between the Bumper Cover, and Lamp Assemblies...

Thanx man for the advice. I thought they had a rubber filler. Next B Body I build I'll take your advice on the headlights. I think the next one I build will be a Impala to Caprice - Ex Police Car conversion. Thanx for the comments.

That's one sweet Chevy, nice work!

Thanx for the comments. The interior floor, parcel shelf, and door panel accents are done with a Doll House Carpet and it works great! It's thin enough to conform anyway you need it to and adhesive backed for self sticking. It's also very low pile so it looks realistic for auto carpet. A friend of mine from England sent me a few pieces in several colours and I'm lookin' here in the states for more and more colours.
