My 1st car was this exact car!! I courted my wife when I had this car and I had to sell it later after we married. 43 yrs ago still together. Nice build!!
❤❤❤that came out gorgeous!! Looks like they did a great job on the 64 grill and front bumper details too! I cannot wait to get these. Only took 60 years to get an updated re issue 😆
Curbside.. I like the possibility to put a engine afterwards. So i buy two kits and build in two ways. One in version of „parking sideways in the streets“and the other in mild custom/streetmachine. Thank you,Chris for another fine build. And,of course Round 2 for the chance to build this.
I find curbside kits not very interesting but at least the you put together actually has an separate hood and a engine compartment. It would be cool if you could show how to add a engine to a curbside kit.
I've been using Aleen's Tacky Glue for years and I highly recommend it. I also use the clear gel for lights and small clear parts, and the white Turbo Tacky Glue for windows and larger bits where the mounting points aren't immediately visible.
Hey thanks Chris, I appreciate you sharing the floor polish at final assembly. You are simply the best. Keep up the great work, love your videos. Take care.
Chris My 1st Car out of HS Was 1964 Chevelle Malibu SS w a 283 2bl n " Slip n Slide " Powerglide trans. " Canary Yellow " w Black interior. "Factory Stock" Your's Turned Out "Almost" Exactly Like Mine. I'm Buying a 1/2 Dozen of These ASAP. Thanks For Sharing n GBA 🙏🤗 Gary.
Nice! Been looking forward to this one . The 64 has been absent for decades! I do hope Round 2 will follow up with the 64 elcamino and station wagon ! If memory serves me correctly, the station wagon had a 6 cyl engine with it. 😊👍
This is on my list… I got rid of quite a few batches of my collection… started getting into knives 20 years ago… Heck, even started getting rid of a few of those knives… But I do still build every once in a while with my grandkids… it’s funny when you’re into your 60s and you’re trying to be realistic about how much time you have left on this earth… and enjoy a few hobbies… One of the knife UA-camrs was taking us along for a walk in Walmart and showing us all the half-price knives on clearance.. they were USA knives and I was tempted but even though I was waiting in the Walmart parking lot for my wife to come out…. I had to show some restraint. Buying is the easy part selling off the stuff we have is the hard part … Sorry for all the seriousness … but I will go out and get the Chevelle. I’ve been waiting for it since I heard about the re-release…. I’m especially interested in seeing if this can be used to restore a 64 Chevelle wagon body.
My first car was a hand-me-down 1964 Malibu that was my mother's first car she bought after college. It wasn't the SS but it did have the 327 in it. It would easily do 120 MPH with five people in the car! 😂
Honestly, at this point they should just release several most popular high detailed engines for those curbside classic as independent models. I have a feeling third party will release resin upgrades annyway :D
I was too young to appreciate at the time, but the early seventies version of the Revell ‘57 Chevy Nomad had a super-detailed engine that could show pistons if you left the headers off. If there were an all-engine kit( a variety of V8s, straight 6s , and V6s), that had a higher level of detail, that would make at this old heart beat a little faster. (Edit to fix my lousy grammar… or at least make it less lousy.)
Chris another awesome video and build. These curbside kits are really cool. I was hoping in the future could you do a weathered build. I really enjoyed the build and of course the back story that went with it. Rusty and crusty 👍. Again great work and have a safe and healthy weekend my friend.
I always like your detailed painting an I always get a new tip no matter what an thank you for your time and effort you put into are videos you made Chris 👍🏻👍🏻
Finally, they included a firewall. I have installed engines in previous Craftsman Plus series kits in the past but I find the underhood details come up short with out a firewall. It seems to me that it wouldn't take much to include engines in these great kits. I love how these look but not a fan of the curbside.
If you want. To put a motor in that car please take a 1965 El Camino or wagon.They will drop right in if you want to go further than that go ahead.Wow I cannot believe this came out.Thank you round 24 something decent for once
Nice model. General Motors announced this week that 2024 is the last year of the Malibu - 10 million units sold since '64, as they are focusing on new EV autos in it's place.
1964, my Senior year of high school and I was a car nut. We all scratched our head when the "small" Mailibu came out. Until Chevy relaesed the SS 409. Most dealers had one on display. SUDDENLY everyone wanted the small Chevy with the big engine. By October they were at the Drag Races. There are 6 cylinder engine kits and 409 engines as well on the "WEB" for about $20 bucks. Chevy introduced "Canary Yellow" in '64 and EVERYBODY was painting their rods with it. Nice build, Chris - thank you!
Does the stud behind the camera hold parts as securely as the studs on the car body?😜🤪🤣 Seriously though, another beautiful build and review as always! Rock on Brother!
Knowing you don't keep all the kits you build, ever thought about detailing the engine bays. Then mod podging the hood and engine plug in place, so whoever gets them next they add a motor if they want
Mounting points for the windshield, chassis and interior - about %=/&>*£ time!!!! I count myself as a seasoned modeller but building my first car kit (AMT 66 Galaxie) I can't believe how hit and miss the fitting of the major parts are (well, most parts really). However, for a new tooling, R2 could consider having the interior door panels as separate items to aid painting and possibly door fittings as separate parts....?
I would have to do this one up like the 64 Malibu in the 1984 cult classis Repo Man (granted the 64 Malibu in Repo Man was a 4 door but I think they should have used a two door in that move but that's another story for another time)
You do a great job, and I hope that this tip is helpful: The panel gaps on a yellow body will be dark yellow, not black. The gaps on a blue car will be dark blue. On a red car they'll be dark red. On a green car, they'll be dark green. They won't be black unless the car is black or a very dark gray. It's easier to find paint for panel gaps in black (shame on you, Tamiya) but gaps will always be a darker version (a shade) of the panel color, not black, which is devoid of the hue in the panel.
It's such a pleasure to be able to buy this model without having to pay $100-200 for an original Craftsman kit!! Thank you Round2!!
Having to pay $34 for a kit with no engine still blows.
@@209Stretch Get one out of your stash.
I’m going to have to. I think I have a revell parts pack 283 sitting around somewhere.
@@209Stretch Perfect.
Thank you Round2 for more dash, interior and detail decals! Much appreciated
Door mirrors are a big plus also.
Can't wait to get one , i wanted a 64 Malibu model kit for years
It's very 'therapeutic' & 'satisfying' to watch you 'pick out' & paint the exhaust etc..

Curbside..
I like the possibility to put a engine afterwards.
So i buy two kits and build in two ways.
One in version of „parking sideways in the streets“and the other in mild custom/streetmachine.
Thank you,Chris for another fine build.
And,of course Round 2 for the chance to build this.
Would love to pick up a couple of these! With no front wheel wells it would be perfect for a conversion to drag or modified racer! Thanks again!!
Great review and build!,i can see kitbashing the revell 65'Chevelle Z16 chassis underneath and maybe using the Revell 64''Impala engine.
I find curbside kits not very interesting but at least the you put together actually has an separate hood and a engine compartment. It would be cool if you could show how to add a engine to a curbside kit.
Looking forward to getting a few of these!!!! 🤜🤛
I really like the color you chose.
Happy 60th anniversary of this kit build classic car.

Nice job Chris! Kit looks great. Thanks Round2

Can confirm that it does. Have an original kit.

That's really nice. I miss building models. Im 66 years old and i had built a lot of kits into my 50s It's been a while.
My first car was a hand-me-down 1964 Malibu that was my mother's first car she bought after college. It wasn't the SS but it did have the 327 in it. It would easily do 120 MPH with five people in the car! 😂
Even a firewall this time, putting an engine in there would be a snap.
Those accessory wire wheel hub caps are huge plus also.
Looking forward to building a few of these 🤙🏼
Another one outta the park Chris, stay safe and positive .
well done round 2!

Just like in real life it's easy to put an LS in 😂
So much potential in this kit......

Awesome always cool stuff always thanks
Another beutiful job Chris!
Actually those wire wheel covers were a factory option. They were available on Impalas, Chevelles, and Corvairs (in a 13" size).
Great video Chris. Keep em coming I'll keep watching
Very Beautiful

Nice build, always enjoy. Just wondering if painting on a rug causes lint or fiber issues? The reason behind it?
Knowing you don't keep all the kits you build, ever thought about detailing the engine bays. Then mod podging the hood and engine plug in place, so whoever gets them next they add a motor if they want
You could swap out that FI V8 from the 39 Tudor and put the original engine in it. 🤔
When you leave them on the sprues, Dont you get a white spot when you break them off? What do you do, Just touch it up after you break it off?
Actual hub caps!
Mounting points for the windshield, chassis and interior - about %=/&>*£ time!!!!

A true craftsman kit should have a complete engine assy separate suspension drive train , and any other accessories.
I like too paint my marker lights with clear colors
I would have to do this one up like the 64 Malibu in the 1984 cult classis Repo Man (granted the 64 Malibu in Repo Man was a 4 door but I think they should have used a two door in that move but that's another story for another time)
Very nice video and kit review. Did the real car come with a 6 cylinder engine? I am just curious about that. Have a great day.
I hope AMT/round 2 models not to start with mock up engines instead the classic engine representation we all like.
👍👍
I know, I know,... "Build for you".... But I'd leave the engine plug out.. No gluing hood shut.. Hey the engine is out for having issues..
Is that A chrome sharpie ? I use The Liquid Chrome pens they work great
I don't want half of a model. I want a engine.
What store were you able to find Krylon Black Primer? I prefer Krylon over Rustoleum, but the Krylon selections around here are minimal.
I was at Menards and noticed a Krylon display.
What tape do you use for the molding down the sides
I hope Round2 re-issues the 1968 and 1969 Impalas!
Hey, wouldn’t this be the car that “Ken Miles” preferred/disparaged in Ford v Ferrari?
You do a great job, and I hope that this tip is helpful: The panel gaps on a yellow body will be dark yellow, not black. The gaps on a blue car will be dark blue. On a red car they'll be dark red. On a green car, they'll be dark green. They won't be black unless the car is black or a very dark gray.

No engine molded and exhaust molded in suspension far less Parts in a full build, but you still pay the same price
I got the 64 Chevelle wagon curbside at Ollie's Discount for $12. The 1/24 scale big trucks were $20.
k😊😊😅yoy
The official word was on the news today from GM. The Malibu is DEAD.
64 SS what engine does it have?( V6, 327
Problem with this model is that there is no such thing as 1964 Chevelle! Chevy did not start using the name Chevelle until 1966
Tacky glue ,, amazon...
Another pointless kit with no engine
