    You know Chris, all of your videos are always fun & informative.
    I continue to appreciate that! And I believe a lot of us do as well?
    You've got cool music playing during each process. You ALWAYS
    emphasize to build for ourselves, and not be bullied by the haters!
    It's always good to know that there is a great model channel to go to.
    Your reviews are great too! So again Chris, a very BIG thank you for
    your continued contribution to the model building community out
    here!

    1963 my best friend's dad bought him a '62 Impala (demo car). Good news for the rest of us - some pocket change in the ash tray for the .25¢ a gallon PREMIUM gasoline got us rides all around town. Great build. Again, I like your "art" choices for accessories and colors. Thanks for sharing.

    Very entertaining as always. I drove a '62 Chevy wagon in high school. It had the 235 cu in 6-cyl. Yes, you could get them in an Impala. Back then it was just a used car.

    I'm in the middle of building Don Nicholson's '61 Impala Super Stock by AMT. I've been extremely impressed with the quality and especially the detail. Basically it's the same model as this only modified for racing of course. I would recommend this kit and thanks Chris for showing me what I should have glued together first before I painted it. hehe It's ok, it's all good.

  • @tikitimescalemodels

    Chris, out of all the youtube model videos I subscribe to, I think yours is the most expensive. This kit is a perfect example. I never would have considered it until you highlighted those oddball (awesome) decals. And, of course, now its on its way. Great video as usual!!

    I wish amt would add a convertible top. I built a reissue a few years ago. Got a resin top from modelhaus.

    Very nicely done Sir! Love the custom look! Definitely going to grab one of these for a future build! Currently finishing my AMT '65 Pontiac GTO Convertible!

    Excellence build & presentation Chris! Great color combination and the decals are spot on, perfect celebration 🍾 of AMT'S 75 years!!

  • @davidhinkson8856
    @davidhinkson8856 ปีที่แล้ว

    You've come up with some interesting colors for this interior, but they go well with the Kat from AMT decals (He was in the decal sheet for the '66 Galaxie and I just had to use him!). Again, a nice build and another Impala I should put into my collection.

    Not sure why, but the decals remind me of Major Nelson.
    Lol nice job I love it.

    Man I was excited about this kit. But! I'm unimpressed. The 62 chevy impala ss is a better kit. It's still a good kit tho. I think I had myself overhyped ! Beautiful job as usual Chris!👉

  • @smithgorrilugum4574

    I love the retro-modern decals. Along with the decals, it would be cool to add an inboard record turntable and beverage cooler. Maybe throw a pair of hipster sunglasses on the dash.

    I clicked the link and bought the 62 Impala SS Convertible and some accessories to make it more realistic. Unfortunately, the SS kit doesn’t have the 409. It has a fuel injected 427 instead so it’s not stock. Chevy didn’t offer the 427 until 1966. I wanted the 409, but I had to choose between that and the SS option.
    I might have to do some kit bashing at some point. I do have a 59 El Camino with a 348. Maybe I’ll use that. It’s indistinguishable except for the dipstick. Then I can put the 427 in the El Camino. I’ll figure something out. Too bad you can’t buy just the engine but I guess the hobby isn’t big enough to support that.
    I want to get this one as close to perfect as I can. Maybe I’ll record myself building it and put it on my channel.

    Usually feels a little strange to me when AMT includes their logos as decals but that retro Kat pattern looks fantastic. Great way to celebrate the anniversary

    hello Chris, what spray paint did you use for back panel with the tail lights are

    • @hpiguy

      Every spray paint used is shown right before I spray it in the painting section of the video. Thanks for watching!

    Why are so many model car fans bent 1 blade, and do you know the name of the song you've played B4 with the fiddle and guitar? Always sounds like an old civil war tune. Also nice build.
