Also note that the 67 Impala SS could come with a 427 CID big block and there were a few special colors applicable to the SS Impala 427. You could do a special SS Impala for a special little lady!!!
Yeah this one is supposed to be the 427. She fell in love with the Impalla from a TV show. That one is a 4 door with a 500 engine in it. The interior is black and tan (camel?). The interior doors, ceiling, dash and rug are all tan. The seats are black, oh and it's a bench seat and it's an automatic.
The AMT model is a 2 door and buckets and a 4 speed. So I decided to do a hybrid, incorporating items from the TV car into the model. I am also taking the doors and the trunk off so I can make them open and close. The trunk area I'm actually planning on using as a place for a circuit board and LEDs, micro switches and batteries for the lights. I am going to light the interior, all four headlights and the turn signals.
For everything that opens I am planning on installing mini rare earth magnets to hold stuff closed. If I can figure out an easy way to do it I would love to have the interior lights come on when the doors open.
From working on guitars I have sand paper from 400 to 12000 grit so I'm hoping I can get that mirror like finish.
I'm planning on using real metal for the chrome trim. I have already purchased an Impalla photoetch kit, an aluminium distributor with wires kit, a high detail guage radio and fan control kit, and a few other little things to perk it up.
I want to get a seatbelt photo etch kit too.
Thank you for the suggestions!!!
