    When you build these nostalgic annual 60's kits it brings a tear to my eyes. I built most of those AMT kits when I was a kid and I loved the Chevy 409 and I played the Beach Boys song "SHE'S REAL FINE MY 409" until my mom told me that's enough! I mowed lawns and gathered pop bottles all summer long and bought models to build. I had a whole fleet of 63 and 64 Chevy 409's in all the colors. I had to take summer school one year so I took typing, glad I did. I wrotr a story about a guy named Chevy and his 409's. Teacher was impressed by my typing but didn't understand the story line.
    Sprayed the rollback frame with your favorite Rustoleum 2X flat black, I can see why you like it, it's smooth and covers great. Fantastic build by the way, I'm not sure I remember all those accessories that is with the kit now. Trophy, TV, record player, etc were to cool back then. I remember a 3 in 1 kit.

    Great memories car. I was 11 when my dad bought a new 1963 Impala. Silver blue non ss, 283. In the showroom I kept telling my dad to buy the SS model. He said I was crazy, "Do you know how much gas in?" Lol....yes under 20 cents a gallon thinking back! Final cost with seatbelts and floor mats thrown in was $3,000 out the door. I'll buy and build this one!

    Nice Decal sheet. Like the way you make up a little story on the model that gives reason for the way you build and paint it

    I may have to get this kit. My late older brother had one of these back in 1970. It was white, with a black interior and bucket seats. He dropped a 283, bored out to a 427 in it. He also fitted an Oldsmobile tranny in it. He had to split the Olds & Chevy driveshafts, then have them welded together and balanced. At 425 hp, that car screamed! He had a six-inch steering wheel in it, a Hearst shifter, and a Holley 4-barrel. I learned to drive a stick on it, when I was 15. My brother was a talented guy, as far as mechanics and bodywork went. I miss him, and I miss that car! --Cindi (Granny Glue-Sniffer)

    Started modeling when I was 8 years old. Missed a year of school due to illness and my Dad thought it would be a good hobby to occupy my time. Almost 60 years later and I'm still at it. I'm so glad I found your channel - love your philosophy and approach to modelling...totally agree. Add your building skills, calming voice and the detail you provide in the presentations to the mix, well that's a win-win-win. Thanks you so much! PS - Gonna add this '63 Chevy to my build list. Cheers...

    I just got into car model building after a 35 year hiatis. I'm not doing so good. I am not having good results with spray cans and I dont know what I could do any different. I wash my plastic thoroughly, I use Tamiya gray primer, and testors, rustoleum spray cans. I have problems with gloss paints running up to the trim and puddling ?I try and use short thin coats in the beginning but I still have problems. I dont have this with airbrushing. I'd like to save time by using cans but the results are poor. Im not looking to do a show quality job, just a decent job. Great utube channel

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Usually runny paints are being out on too think, but it could be a lack of shaking, too hot, too cold, etc. Impossible to diagnose on the internet.
      Thanks and enjoy your hobby!

      Make sure you're not spraying paint in hot and humid conditions. Moisture in the air will play havoc with paint jobs. Otherwise, spray several light coats - beginning with a fog or misting coat - instead of just one or two heavy coats. Allow at least 20-30 minutes drying time between coats. Also, don't hold the can too close to the car body when you're spraying back-and-forth. If you don't get any dust or dirt particles trapped in a paint coat, allow the final coat to completely dry for 48-hours, then lightly wet sand or polish to a mirror finish. At least, that's the process I use to obtain good results.

    Very beautifully built model. Awesome body color. Congratulations and thanks for posting the video. I got the Revell 1:25 scale 1963 impala kit which has only two versions, stock and low rider, but looks like a better kit in my opinion, just from what I saw in the AMT box. Don't stop the nice job.

  • @chopperbaldwin610

    Stock cast iron manifolds, no headers? You do a great job with your models, they're always so nice and neat. I guess you just have to work with what you get. My first car was a '63 Impala, age 18, a senior in high school. It had a 327 cubic inch engine, 4-barrel carb, Hurst 4 speed, dual exhaust, with headers, Thrush mufflers, 12 bolt posi rear. Gabriel highjacker shocks in the rear. It was a two-door hardtop, no post. It was a true SS, in Honduras maroon, I put grey, American Racing, torque thrust rims on it,15 x 7 in the front, 15 ×8 in the rear, with a 60 series tire in the back.

    Your color scheme came out good. I've been looking for the colors at ACE and HOME DEPOT. They have some primers but none of the rest. AMT is doing a lot of good things with their kits. I think they stretched it a little with building the drag version though.
    Interior pieces, side pipes and decals do not make a drag version.
    I still bought it though. I used to have one, and I'm going to build the kit like I wanted the real one to turn out. Keep up the work.

    Nicely done Impala. Not showroom stock with all the fancy details, but a mild custom will do. Like the owner wants to drive the car, not park it and show it off like a trailer queen.
    I've just never really fancied the older cars of the early to mid 60s. I like all the chrome trim, but it can be a pain trying to detail all that chrome. Molotow chrome isn't perfectly chrome, but it's the cheapest thing to getting the closest chrome finish on trim. BMF is the ultimate in chrome detailing. I just don't have the patience to use BMF. Going through so many blades just to cut out strips is aggravating.

    thanks for posting ... anybody remember the old Pyro kits from the sixtys? I think they had brass plated chrome parts 1/32 scale ... mostly antique cars

    Beautiful build. To make the headlights look real, wouldn't putting mudpudge on them make it look like they have glass in them once it dry?

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmm, I could, nice idea.
      That thick of a layer may take some time to dry. I'll try to remember that and try it out!

    Nice build, was thinking during the video it'd be fun to build this car into the one in cheech and chongs first movie, the brown car with the blueish green furry interior and the chain steering wheel lol wonder how many kits I'd have to bash to pull that off. Lol

    At this point you should get yourself some 1/24 1/25 scale figures and have a car show. Also have you thought about doing any dioramas?

    • @hpiguy

      I've done some but I try to stick to the kits since these are reviews of what can be done with the parts in the box.

    Hi! You mentioned (@ about 19:45) what you used on the headlamps to make them more realistic. I can't quite make it out - would use advise? Thanks!

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Possibly Molotow chrome pen?

    • @kevh8667
      @kevh8667 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@hpiguy Thank you for responding! You definitely say you used "the Molotow" on the headlamps to make it look like it isn't chrome plastic & give it more of a glass look. I'm new to the pens & was curious as to what you might have used to obtain the effect. **Edit** at about 16:40, you do say you would use Molotow chrome - I missed that the first time through. Sorry to bother you! Thanks for your videos - really are a teaching tool to me!
