The Chevrolet Bel Air is a full-size car that was produced by Chevrolet for the 1950-1975 model years.
For 1961, the Bel Air received a new body. Its wheelbase remained 119 in (3,000 mm), but its length was now reduced slightly to 209.3 in (5,320 mm). All engines options of the previous year remained in effect with the standard engines being the 235.5 CID Six of 135 hp (101 kW) or the 283 CID V8 of 170 hp (130 kW). The V8 cost $110 more than the Six and weighed 5 lb (2.3 kg) less.
For 1962, all sheet metal except the door panels was changed. Overall length was stretched slightly to 209.6 in (5,320 mm). The 4-door Sport Hardtop was no longer offered in the Bel Air series. Standard engines remained the same as the previous year. A new 327 cu in (5,360 cc) V8 of 250 or 300 hp (220 kW) was offered in addition to the giant (for the time) 409 cu in (6.70 l) V8 of 380 hp (280 kW) or 409 hp (305 kW) with the dual four-barrel carburetor setup. All wagons this year were 4-door models and separate distinctions for wagons were dropped. Now all models were either Biscayne, Bel Air or Impala series. Full carpeting returned as standard equipment on all 1962 Bel Air models for the first time in several years. The Bel Air Sport Coupe was in its last year of U.S. production, and its roofline was a carryover from the 1961 hardtop coupe.
The Bel Air was given a facelift in 1963. Its overall length increased to 210.4 in (5,340 mm). Replacing the older 235 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine as standard equipment was a new 230 cubic-inch six-cylinder of more modern design with a 140-horsepower rating that was based on the 194 cubic-inch six introduced on the compact Chevy II Nova the previous year. The base V8 remained the 283 CID, which was upgraded to produce 195 hp (145 kW). The 409 CID V8 was now offered in 340, 400 and 425 hp (317 kW) versions, while the small block 327 V8 continued with options of 250 and 300 horsepower. The Bel Air continued to be Chevrolet's middle range, but it now consisted of only two car models- the 2-door sedan and the 4-door sedan. 6 and 9-passenger Bel Air station wagons were again offered.
For 1964, very few changes were made except the expected sheet metal and trim renovations. Cars were 209.9 in (5,330 mm) in length while the wagons were 210.8 in (5,350 mm) long. In addition to the un-changed standard engines, there were two different 327 CID engines were offered, developing from 250 hp (190 kW) to 300 hp (220 kW) and three 409 CID engines ranging from 340 hp (250 kW) to 425 hp (317 kW). Except for a chrome belt line there was little exterior difference between the Bel Air and Biscayne version.
RHD Bel Airs continued to be imported into Australia. Some of these cars featured a reversed 1961 Pontiac instrument panel, but others had a mirror image of the more attractive current North American panel. Even more curious was the fact that some of these Bel Airs featured Impala-style triple taillights; the center lens was amber in keeping with Australian legal standards.
Nice build up. Reminds me of my early childhood. Pops had a '62 SS ,maroon with a 327 ,4 spd
I'm going to be starting a 66 442 W30 kit and I can't wait to build it, and always great job on the kit.
Great build, FYI, the gas tank is right behind the axle, you painted the trunk floor silver instead of the gas tank.
Fantastic build and kit!!! Dyno Don's was one of my Heroes as a kid. Will build several of these 409s.
...so fine, this 409. Nice kit. An even nicer build. Giddy Up little 409.
Thanks RA!
Super job on this model. It looked so real!
I seen this kit at Hobbytown USA Tuesday of last week lol.
Looks lovely!
Great job Chris 👏 👍 👌 so enjoy your videos 📹 👍 please keep them coming 🙏 👍 and here to help get your videos 📹 😉 out to everyone to enjoy 😉 😀 have a great day 😀 😊
My Mom had a car like this when I was a kid. Great build again.
Thanks!
Great job! I've built this kit several times. Love it every time.
built another release of the same kit it's a fantastic car when done
I like these full builds
I had a set of two into two Jadine Headers on my 1978 Kawasaki KZ900 back in the day! They sounded super sweet!
I actually just ordered this kit a couple days ago, should be here tomorrow , glad I saw this video today, I think I’ll use grey primer and then a satin white, make it look a little worn👍🏻
I love the oldies kits - but never see any
current year models - do they exist?
great build, enjoy the old muscle cars.
I'm going to have to pick this up on the 1st!!
Good to see this reissued! I have two different versions of this plus the Lindbergh 1960 bubble top one. Keep up the great work 💜 👌
Chris you always do such an awesome job with these things stay safe and positive and keep up the great work
Looks like the perfect kit to replicate a 1962 Z11 427 Factory Lightweight that could be seen at drag strips all over in 1962 and 1963!
Hi Chris I made it too harbor freight and got some micro drills thanks for the great building videos
C'mon Chris,,, I Didn't Hear ANY BEACH BOY'S Tunes Man 😭😭😭‼️ But The Build Turned Out BOSS Man . I Gotta Get 1 Now.🤗🤗 God Bless All 👍👍, Gary.
Great vid as always. This is on my to do list. Keep the vids coming, I'll keep watching.
Excellent box art build Chris! 👌 Really informative presentation 👏, keep them coming!!
Thanks, will do!
Always been a Chevy fan. The 62 Bel Aire is no exception. This build reminds me of stories my dad told me about his buddies 62 Bel Aire he had in high school. It had a 283 small block and a 2 speed power glide trans. They called it the "KA BOOM" mobile. They would intentionally make it backfire
Great video!! I have this kit on pre order, and can’t wait to get it!!!
Nice build great job
Nice build as usual Chris
Looks great just like it would back in 62. I have the original version of this kit but I really like this version with the Don Nicholson decals. Always enjoy the show and look forward to each episode.
Love 62 chevy impala s your's looks great hope they bring back the stock 62 convertible
Excellent build. Love the quality of your work. You definitely show us viewers how to have clean builds. Thanks for sharing.
Great model and a Nice Build!
Awesome stuff!
One of my favourite kits, I think I have every version.
Thanks Gary!
The detail always impresses me
Chris! I have not been able to find this kit at Hobby lobby or at my other local Hobby store! I might have to have them order it! And this is my second time watching you build this Kit! I just love the way it came out!
Modelroundup.com has it in stock. :)
Very nice, thanks for sharing.👍😎🏎️🇺🇸🏁
Very nice Ol buddy, as usual! Keep on rocking! 🤘✌🏻🍻
Awesome build. Love that car! Thanks for sharing Chris! Happy days and model on! 😎
Wonderful to watch! Well, since I cannot build my own. 😞
In re your background music, I thought I could hear a tranquil guitar picking out Bananarama's "Cruel Summer".
The 1:1 car was awesome in its day. A beast in the quarter mile. A friend had a new one that was an NHRA record holder in stock class.
Thank you! And thanks for watching :)
Dang wish I could still do these. Great job love it. Would love to see the 63 Impala like this 2 different ways to do it.
Denny Ford still runs a 62 409 Biscayne in NHRA D/Stock. I see him a few times a year at the races. Denny also has a 69 396 Camaro that runs in B/Stock.
Thanks Chris.awesome review and build.looks like a great kit detail on the carbs caught my attention.peace.
I find the AMT car kits to be the most challenging. The detail is there however which keeps bringing me back to them. It's easy to make a mistake which in a sick kinda way I like lol. Very cool looking car, love it. And of course, I always love the options in how you want to build it. I think they get it. Really nice job sir.
Great to see this kit re-released. the older drag car are def making a comeback. As to the side glass, I do believe it was required in Super Stock class in this era per NHRA rules. But....this is your model as you like to say, so build on!
Another beautiful car
This is a Kit that I want to build up like the box art too. Nice build.
Nice build of a great kit. They fall together.
Another beautiful build and video Chris! Have a great end of week my friend. 👍
Thanks, you too!
This was the final BelAir hardtop that Chevy catalogued. No BelAir hardtop for '63. A rare car. Also the final year for the 235 six-cylinder as well as the final cast iron Powerglide transmission. The '63's had a new 250 six-cylinder and aluminum Powerglide.
Absolutely Beautiful! Awesome Job Chris! Very very Beautiful!
Thanks a bunch!
great looking build.
Another must have to go with my other Dyno Don car and another awesome job by you , cheers 👍🇦🇺
Spectacular build, Chris. Replicated that box perfectly. The black under red on the door panels a great effect. Black carpet, little dull coat, little shiny. Just great effect. Stance perfect.
Thanks!
Hey Pop you SHOULD have omitted the heater box . It WAS a racecar above all else.
Memphis Dan LeLoLai
Nice job sir! Now I will have to get one to go with the '61 and '63. Bought the Fast and Furious 69 Revell Germany Camaro recently. Nice kit also.
Looks good
Cool build.
It's a shame they keep coming out with cool new kits because I can't seem to buy a Round 2 kit without 2 or 3 mangled main parts that have to be replaced. I'm on week 6 now of waiting for the first one's replacement parts.
Good job looks nice 😎
Great video, as always, Chris. I was wondering if you might be able to do a short tutorial someday, on how you approach your subassemblies; how you organize them, what to look for when you’re studying the directions, etc. I think a lot of us would benefit from your insights on this process, and would appreciate your suggestions and hints.
I simply build right from the manual in order usually. You can see the subassemblies in the subassembly part of video before I paint, divided up based on how I'll paint them.
Thanks man!
Beautiful mate👍
Terrific job is always I always thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and getting some tips that's been so long since I've built models I have close to a 100 of them in my closet that I have Not built.. I'm a huge drag car guy. Love the sixties and seventies drag cars a is a cars a big Ford guy.. Love them all thank you again
Great to hear!
Sweet kit and great review and build, Chris! I really like those Torque Thrust "D" mag wheels included with the kit. I always thought those wheels really dressed up the '61 and '62 Impalas/Bel Airs (or just about any Chevy from that era). 😀👍🇺🇸
I Really enjoy your reviews, interesting and informative
you did the 409/427 z11 car that don ran
It's a Gasser why use the heater blower box? Cool kit nice job. Just wish I could still build them
Gitty Up!!😎✌🏻👍🏻
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Great build, as usual! What brand of glue are you using during the initial assembly?
He uses Bondene
Thanks!! Hi
Thanks!
Plastruct Bondene, Modelroundup carries it.
Thanks Chris. . Your videos and tips have really helped my builds.keep ‘‘em coming!
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless..
The key to big returns is not really big company stocks. It's managing risk in relation to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading..
@Tiny Alumbaugh Please how does one reach the advisor?
@Tiny Alumbaugh Thanks you for this! I just looked her up on google and impressed with the information I came across. Will definitely reach out to her. Thanks again
Great job! I love how you did the trim! Silver marker? Yes? I bought the chrome pencil and I hate it! Too thin at the tip. And you have to be careful pumping the tip to get the paint to flow. It will make a mess! Any suggestions? Thank you!
Hi there, what kind of glue do you use? I'm just getting started. I really enjoy your detailed videos. Thanks.
I like Bondene but any modern liquid glue works just fine.
Hello Chris,
I really like your build ups!!
Thank You for sharing with Us here!
I have to ask, What are those tweezers You used for the decals??!
I want to get some!! Please Let Me Know!!
Thank You Again!
Till next time,
Later,
Russell
It's from a tweezer set at Hobby Lobby by the bead working stuff.
Hey bud great job as always... if I could ask you ..why did you not use the chrome pen on all the trim instead of the silver sharp ...thank you again great job ....ps can we see all your models you have done ..!!
Whatever I grab or how I think it will look, if I need it to dry instantly or if I can let the body sit and dry for a while, etc.
you can see all the models i've done on this channel. Hundreds and hundreds of reviews. There is no 'display' of a thousand built kits on shelves to show.
Thanks!
How are you gluing painted parts ?? And what are you using for glue ?? That usually doesn’t work.
what brand of super glue and liquid cement glue to you use to put your model kit together
Why does model companies stamp black lettering inside the model bodies????
Can you use the same glue on the base plastic as you do on the painted plastic? I know some glues can eat the paint. I got a model truck today and I've never done the kind that needs paint and glue, so I wanna do it right the first time!
There are dozens of ways to get the job done and everyone has opinions.
I use liquid plastic glue for the subassemblies of raw plastic and super glue for final assemblies. And the video shows what I use and how I do glass as well.
So I could use something like Tamiya cement for pre assembly, and then Gorilla super glue gel for painted pieces.
And yes I was watching the window part and thought that was a genius idea! From my very early experience with clear models and superglue it makes them super foggy. I have some matte already, would that work the same?
Thank you so much for your help!
What brand of tape do you use?
When painting parts with a brush do you thin the paint? Thanks
Nope, right from the bottle.
What kinda of brush are you using for your Mod Podge?
Eyeliner brush. Started stealing them from the GF, now she can steal them from the bulk packs I buy on Ebay.
I'm good with free music 😂
All I can find is a primer paint the black primer
Looks lovely!
