Hi Matt! Great choice for a Long Video on such an Awesome car! I'm 62 years old now and used to build models like Crazy. When I was 10 years old, in 1970, I even won a model car contest at our local Dirt Track, Dixie Speedway in Woodstock, GA. me and my Dad went EVERY Saturday Night for Years. Then two things happened to me around age 15, I learned to Play Drums and I Discovered Girls!!! ☺ Needless to say my model building hobby not only took a back seat, it fell out of the dang car!! So, my first ever car was my Dad's 1972 Oldsmobile 98 with twin four barrels on top of a 454 Rocket! It was a land yacht, but give her some room and not much could keep up! Well, in 1980 my Uncle up in Blue Ridge decided he wanted to sell his 1967 Chevy Impala SS with a 427 under the hood. He call my Dad wondering if I wanted to buy her for, hold on, $300.00 Yes, not just Yes, but, OH - HELL - YES!!! So now as I find myself mostly bed bound from losing both legs below the knee last year, I have rediscovered modeling! The first model I'm making is AMT's 1967 Chevy Impala Dirt Tracker!! I figured it would be pretty hard to screw up an Old Dirt Tracker! Of course, after I have a few models under my belt, I want to build the Pristine, 1967 Chevy Impala just like I had in 1980!! Thank You for Answering 90% of the questions I have about the new ways of, "How Do I?" I'm Slowly Collecting the Equipment and Tools I Need to Really Get Rolling in The Hobby Again!!

Another great build Matt!!! Enjoy the model car show on Saturday. There a lot of fun and you meet some really nice people.

One tip in Scale auto ages ago about BMFing, was to cover the tip of a new #11 blade in black Sharpie. So you'll see the black tip against the chrome foil easier. Super useful when you're as blind as a bat like me. lol Another tip from Ken Hamilton's column, was to have a piece of double sided tape on your work bench ( Masking tape rolled on itself with the sticky side out works too. ) When you get that pesky string of foil on you blade tip. Touch it to the tape to get it off quick.

I didn't mention it before, due to autoplay skipping to another video while I was finishing editing my comment. Great job of the Impala. I may have to snag your tip with the wheel wash, and keep it for another 15 years, so I can dredge it up again. lol

Wow!!! This is my favorite that you have done. #talent Maybe you should build more Chevys?

This will look super with your other muscle cars!!

Beaufiul job! FYI, this is a model of the rare Impala SS with the SS 427 option, factory option code Z24. Less than 2100 were built, and a real one in mint condition will cost you north of $75,000. A fully "loaded" Z24 Impala cost over $5,000 new, close to the cost of a new Cadillac. But you got the "L36" 427 cubic inch engine, your choice of 4 speed or automatic, heavy duty suspension, red line belted tires, power steering, brakes, windows and front seat. Fully equipped also meant air conditioning and AM/FM multiplex stereo with 8 track tape. What a great way to cruising, both in 1967 and 2022!

I built this kit almost 20 years and love the finished product to this day. I built mine before I discovered bmf so all the trim is Testors silver paint. I also altered the stance on mine to lower it. What really caught my eye for this video is the fact that you painted yours almost the identicle color as mine.

Looks great. I think this is the best looking year IMP. I had trouble fitting the body on this same kit too. I ended up trimming the front bumper supports and radiator support to get everything to sit the way I wanted.

Hey Matt! Thanks for the BMF tips, really appreciate it. You also don't give yourself enough credit, this came out really awesome. Even though the Robbins show canceled, unfortunate, you could still take it to the No.Charllote show. Be there when its judge and talk to the judge about what he feels could be improved and apply that to the next one. Anyway, be safe and have a great day!

Very nice! I built this kit few years ago in a very similar blue from a rattlecan. always a nice kit. Love your work!!!

That's awesome !! Turned out fantastic and everything looks clean and smooth.. The over all appearance has just the right ( Pop ) appeal to it.. It's a eye catcher with out being too flashy... Your trim work is very well done and that's what catches the eye.. I myself can't use that stuff , I've tried a time or two.. I always end up cutting into my paint and then it becomes extra unnecessary work for myself.. So now i use the Chrome Paint Pens and I've had pretty good luck with those. Anyway , again:: very nice work and I enjoyed watching your videos.👍
