1967 Chevy Impala SS (Stock)

What I have found with AMT kits, the lowest priced kits should be avoided. Once you get into the next price level and beyond, AMT kits are quite good. I do like this kit but it only builds a stock car, no extra parts. The detail is great and pretty accurate to the real car. Some discussion about directions not being clear showing steering box, heater hose and brake cylinder. They show them out of order for placement purpose but need to be installed after body is attached to the chassis. I had to trim/file the engine bay fender wells to get upper A arms to fit properly and make clearance for the alternator, other then that everything else fits well. I've painted mine black on black (classic combo). I added some headers and custom wheels for a slight resto look. I will post pictures once done.

I had a friend who knows I build models ask me if they made a model of the car from her favorite show Supernatural . I did some research online and found out it's a 1967 Chevrolet Impala. I found this kit on this site, and bought it. My research said the car is black, and there were 2 different interior colors used on the show. One car was all black, and the other was black seats with a tan interior. She said she wanted the all black version, so I then started on the kit. The kit is very well engineered with very little flash to clean up. The instructions were very clear with a paint guide for all the pieces, and also a list of all of the interior and exterior colors used that year. The kit went together with no difficulty. The only confusing thing was they showed pieces that go between the firewall and engine, but tell you not to install them until the body is on the chassis. I guess there was a problem they found after they wrote the instructions, as I did as they requested and I didn't have any problems. I did request the company to make a actually kit from the show. Now my only problem is now I have to build a second one!

I really would recommend this kit. It might have some age on it, but it is well-engineered, fits together well and looks pretty darn cool when finished. Unfortunately, I had to scratch build a hood because the original was twisted pretty badly. The engine is really nice, the interior is actually well detailed and the overall fit of the body on the frame is tight. This kit was pretty close to flawless, except for limited decals (no instrument dashboard) but did include for the crossed racing flags and blinkers. You will have fun building it and you will be proud of the results. Worth every nickel!
