Ahhh 1966, the year my Uncle decided I needed to begin my trip through the jungle. But I do remember this Chevy (neighbor's new car) as the last new car I saw for several years (magazines, yea). What a memory flogger. Your detailing is superb as are your choice of options - spot on. Skinny whitewalls were a real status symbol for a while, as were FULL hubcaps not them "dog dishes". Thank you, once again for sharing...

Nice to meet you. Comment from Japan. I love American cars. I made some, but I couldn't make them so beautiful. It’s the best finish. 😊 I'll let you see it 😀

I bought this model primarily because it’s a 66, my birth year. I have a few ideas about a low rider paint job. I have a few kits ahead of this one but it looks like a fun kit to build up. Great build. The classics are so cool to see.

Great build !! I miss my '66, it was my first new car and I had it until 10 years ago when it was stolen and wound up in a "chop shop". Of course insurance did not cover the true value of the car. Brand new I bought it for $3,400 fully loaded. Mine was Marina Blue.

Nice,, it's about time a model company release a 66 Impala kit, and Revell is doing a good job releasing model kits never before issued.

This car is absolutely beautiful

An SS 396 factory 4 speed with factory power steering and brakes AND A/C!!! In real life that is a very low production build configuration that would come close to 6 figures at Mecum or Barrett-Jackson!! I absolutely love it, great build!

Wow ! Chris, this is definitely the best Chevy Impala model I have ever seen anybody do. You painted it my favorite color. If I bought this kit, I would probably paint it blue as well. I use to build Lowrider bicycles and I joined a small Lowrider car club that wanted a Lowrider bicycle chapter. And I was cruising it one day when a large Hispanic man was in his front yard and he flagged me down because he wanted to look at my bicycle. He had a 66 Chevy Impala Lowrider parked in his front yard. It was blue as well. Then he introduced me to his younger brother who showed me his 64 Impala he was restoring. I will admit at first I was a little afraid of these guys because they looked tough and mean but they were really cool to me and invited me to come back to their house for dinner. Great job. I love your channel ! Keep up the good work !

How to keep the decals on model car kits

My Uncle (Dad’s younger brother) bought a four door hardtop Impala new in ‘66. I remember it as a kid as I was five-six years old at the time. It was I think the first new car I can remember seeing.......mostly finned stuff our family had around that time I was seeing. Beautiful job on that one Chris! I had the ‘65 Chevy convertible kit, sold it, now I want another one! GM styling was at its best during those years.......not an ugly one in the bunch! 👍

I'm amazed to see women make (and be interested in) model kits.

I built the original kit and the parts fit and the detail is great. Mine was the Monogram version and listed as a 65. The Foose kit is a 65 also. Not sure of minor differences in 65 to 66. Another great build by the Happy Guy!

Nice build! As a GM guy, the 66 sport coupe has always been one of my favorite body styles for the Imp. Personally, I'd do it black on black, but, it's your build. I'm almost finished with my build combining two Revell 78 GMC plow trucks into one truck with an 8' bed. Next up will be brazing a car trailer together out of brass tubing for it to "pull". The trailer will also have stained/weathered scale wood for the deck. The "barn find" Camaro that will ride on the trailer is finished and collecting dust in the garage. When the trailer is finished, I'll hit the Camaro, dust and all, with a flat clear, then chain it down on the trailer. Mating the two truck kits to make one with an 8' bed has definitely been a challenge, but, it's also been a lot of fun. I can't wait to find out how challenging the trailer will be!

Turns out they had one after all. Actually picked one one up and unboxed it. This is super sweet kit...fit and finish appears to be great. Guys who are into the old iron or old Impala super sports should give this kit a shot. The lowrider spoker rims look great as well as the whitewall tires. Like you said...could build it a lot of ways. Or go crazy with bare metal or Molotov marker. Or go totally lowrider mode and candy or pearl paints. Very cool kit that's as easy to build as you want it to be or you can go over the top nuts and super detail it. Buy one and build it YOUR way!

Very nice job on a classic my dad once owned!!! I can recommend 'Dr. Drybooth' by MicroMark. A very nice compact booth to accelerate the drying time of plastic models!!! Recently while painting a tractor trailer for a client I purchased this booth and it really speeds up the assembly time and really bakes the paint onto the model.......... just a suggestion. I'm sure there are a number of ways to accelerate the drying time of a plastic model but this worked the best for me in my current living situation....

Hello, again. I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoy your Vids. I have looked at other guys who kind of do the same thing. I enjoy you best. I have noticed that the newest releases have printed tiers. I have some of the same kits from a few years ago. Mine are older and they do not have the printed tires or extra tires. Even the decals have dash decals that the older ones don't. Makes me want to sell them and buy the newer ones, LOL. Thank you for this review and build. I really enjoyed it. I've been looking at your Vids for a while now. I've seen all of them. Thanks again.
