1967 Chevy Impala SS (Stock)

Many of the details of this kit are spot on. Very good compared against many pictures that I found of 67 Impala SS 427's. The way that many items fit, however had much to be desired. When I put the body onto the frame and chassis, many of the assembled engine components had to be reassembled. Some of that may be my modeling abilities, but the designers should put the kit together to assemble well, not with difficulty. Also it could use some quality control on the assembly instructions. The directions said to put the steering box in on step 5, but showed it on step 3. Also, simple stuff but, let's get it together: The instructions say to paint the engine Chrysler red. This is a Chevy. The color is Chevy orange! My eyes and my hands are not what they once were, but this kit leaves much to be desired. The quality of a kit and a build should be as much responsibility of the designer and manufacturer as the builder.

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!

This is a straight forward kit. Clean up was light - just a good sanding was all it took. Instructions were well done and accurate. Details were spot on for a 67 Impala. I detailed the engine with wires, hoses and linkage. Added fuel lines and shifter linkage. The only con I found was the ride height, so a little adjustment was required. I painted it Blue Color Shift over Black and the interior was painted Blue with flocking. I really loved this kit and it is a must have for any Impala collector. I would highly recommend this kit to all builders.
