Love those early 60's Chevy's - my uncle had a NZ-assembled 64' (US 63') Impala 4-door 283, blue & white and it was a real thrill to be trusted to drive it solo at just 16!

Nice clean build 👏👏

Thanks for the kind words! Until recently, I didn't even know my dad had an impala. It was gone before I came along. He found this kit and asked me to build it for him.

Thanks! I don't get nearly as much time at my bench as I would like, but I'm sure that is a common problem for most of us!

You are right, I'm happy, if I could spend 4-6 hours in a week by my desk...

oh, man! I would LOVE that much time at my bench! can you imagine what we could accomplish? I might get more than a few kits built in a year!

Just bide your time, mates, that "post-work" (maybe just "post-busy") stage of life arrives for us all, eventually.

Took until I was 72, but now I can usually find at least 2-3 hours daily, on average. Eventually decided it was time to start building down the stash.

Thanks for the kind words! The White is rust-oleum. Other colors are Testors andTamyia.

So, the rust oleum didn't pan out as hoped. I had to pivot and get a few colors from my friend at Scale Finishes. once I did that, things went better for me. I have finally finished this build and it will soon be on its way to my dads home.
