The person who thought of the 'paint scheme' deserves a 'medal'!! I've never thought about 'blacking out' that 'mid section' on the '64 Impala, (or coloring it). It looks great!! 🥇 👍
WOW and WOW again - this beauty looks like its ready to drive out of my monitor and on to the streets! Details make the build. In 1964 a pal who was one year my junior was given a NEW 1964 Impala 327 - my last year in school. I had a 1957 Pontiac 348 with Crane cam, high compression pistons and a B&M Hydro stick with M&H "Street Slicks". I smoked his NEW Chevy. After working and saving for years I paid for my "Poncho" and built it myself while his car was a gift. He HATED losing EVERY RACE to me...
Awesome job . Im getting back into plastic models again . Past few years I have been customizing and collecting diecast . I see your name is Chris so is mine . Great job on the videos .
I'm happy to see this kit back. I have one of the mid-late '90s issues of this kit and it's just such a wonderful model I decided to hold onto it although I thought of scrapping it about 17 years ago. This new reissue looks even more interesting and I might just have to get hold of it. Again a great job, and the decals Round 2 is putting into these kits are just so nice you can't just leave them on the sheet - you've got to find some way to use them even if you build the car totally stock.
Fantastic build as always!!! This is a much better model than the earlier Revell '57!! Can't wait to get SEVERAL of there. Im a big fan of AMT kits anyways. See me definitely building a gasser, AFX style drag car, a SuperStock, and of corse a few street versions. I love custom building my favorite kits so... these kits will get opening doors, and trunk. Also I have several Atlantis '57 steerable front ends . All but the gassers will be fitted with those. The true gasser will get one of Icemans gasser chassis, and I will build all the interior and trunk detail myself. Great preview, and build!!! I look forward to all your videos! As always if a kit isn't up to my expectations I'm gonna call it as I see it!! This one surpasses all I could ever ask!!! Can't wait for the next video!! Oh QUESTON!!! What do you do with all these cars you build? If you display them WE all would love a video of all you finished builds!!!
Metal clip is for the hood- Decal sheet is from the AWB chevy 2 funny car-years ago the decal sheet was the "Super Shaker -I have built about 5 of these over the years-this is the woodward Ave. version first time it's been reissued
Incredible build and presentation Chris, perfect color and decal choices! Shout out to Round2 for rereleaseing this kit with this box art, one of my all time favorite AMT kits!
This kit is older than the hills but it's great. Tons of extra parts and the tires are worth the price of the kit. I've built this a few times over the years.
I built the Cheech & Chong 64 using the 64 Impala SS Lowrider kit, the one with the pink Impala on the front of the box, I bought a Cheech & Chong 3d printed parts kit, I hand painted the whole interior by hand, blue, purple, and yellow. I also hand painted the blue door and the primer spot on the hood, I also added the hand paint on the hood.
I'm so excited for this! I have been looking for a 64 Impala as my grandparents had one, and I wanted to make a model of one for my uncle. Already preordered!! Thank you!
You mentioned before you didn't know why they chromed up the fan itself and or painted it a bright color the reason was to prevent mechanics from getting hurt and sticking there hands 🤲 down there when the engine was running while it was being worked on just a fyi for the day. Also a question ❓ please is how come you don't usually paint the door 🚪 knobs and window 🪟 cranks on the door panels it would be nice to be able to see 👀 them more often? Thank you for your videos .
Chris i think you were right the engine would be a 409 even though there was 427 version it was a special order in 63 impala sport coupe what I understand is this engine was intended for nascar and drag racing purposes Not likely obtainable for the average Joe to put in his 64 streeter I wonder if you found some info on an older version of this kit if it lists the engine as a 409
Cool buddy! But, that is not a 427 , I don't know why they put that on the box, it's a 409 looks to me like, with those teardrop heads or whatever anyone else calls them. I've got a old built up 64 Chevy, the Eliminator, and it said 409 on the box and everything, and it has the 409 decals, looks like the same kit to me, other than a few extra parts in there now. Anyhow, doesn't matter i guess, just figured you might want to know, ain't no biggie, unless rivet counters pay attention to that, you know? Anyways, Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and yours bud 🤙🤘✌️
Thanks for all your great videos! If Round 2 came out with Cheech and Chong’s “ Love Machine “ version I wonder if they would include the “MFDVER “ license plates ?
Body appears ok, but looks like a lot of flash or less than crisp/straight edges on small parts elsewhere, needing sanding off. That doesn't impress me much, Round2. Moebius would not release something like this. As popular as '64 Impalas are, the AMT tool should be made sharper. Great choice of background music, Chris. The final build looks excellent.
The big engine for the 1964 Chevy was the 409. To call the engine in this kit a “427” would be to suggest that it’s a ‘63 Z-11 race option 427 which was a high-compression, bored-out drag-racing and NASCAR version of the 409.
Not sure what AMT was thinking but that is a 409, not a 427. And Chevy engine with the curved heads and headlights are either a 409 or a 348. The factory hotrod 409 came with a listed 425 hp but in reality it was closer to 500 HP. That 409 was a hoss
Getting back into the hobby now that I'm retired, and want to say thank for all the great tips. ✔️
Hi there Chris i just wash your
Build Shithot job mate in joy washing you making your models keep up with the great work mate
The person who thought of the 'paint scheme' deserves a 'medal'!! I've never thought about 'blacking out' that 'mid section' on the '64 Impala, (or coloring it). It looks great!! 🥇 👍
Man, that turned out nice.
The window trim really stands out against the black on the roof.
That's nice detail.
Good job. 👍

Great job Chris, the Impala looks awesome. I love the color combination. You have a great attention to detail.
Great job Chris! Love that paint scheme, I have built a few of these Impalas over the years, but this video makes me want another.
Can't go wrong with a '64 Impala 🙂 👍
Absolutely beautiful build. Great color choices. You did an awesome job on this one. It looks like a really fun kit to build. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Chris. Looks like a fun kit. Nice tire options. Will use the extra tires on future projects for sure. Thanks for the review.
Awesome job . Im getting back into plastic models again . Past few years I have been customizing and collecting diecast . I see your name is Chris so is mine . Great job on the videos .
She’s real fine my 409! 427 doesn’t rhyme.
Definitely a 409, not a 427.
This is always a good kit. Thanks
Great build! I would love to see Round2 put the light kit in like it was back in 1964! A convertible would be nice to see as well!!
Very cool 😎 Chris. That's one awesome Impla.
I'm happy to see this kit back.

this is a classic i have built many of this kit since the early 70s
Another one of your best, looking really good.

Lovely job mate👍
Thank you very much for your videos,they are always very enjoyable to watch,even if I buy too many models because of you!😉
Greetings from Italy!
Incredible build and presentation Chris, perfect color and decal choices! Shout out to Round2 for rereleaseing this kit with this box art, one of my all time favorite AMT kits!
Yeah! Nice stance and really nice job.I'm working on an Impala right now. I love how they look and you did it justice right here.
Nice kit. Love all the options. Killer build Chris!
Looks like a nice kit with alot of great looking partd! I really like the "pie crust' rear slicks. Great build and Happy Holidays to you!!
This kit is older than the hills but it's great. Tons of extra parts and the tires are worth the price of the kit. I've built this a few times over the years.

Another great looking build Cris an thank you for your time you put into are videos an have a good day today 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great car, review and video all rolled into one. Definitely gonna build one. Keep up the great work.
I'm so excited for this! I have been looking for a 64 Impala as my grandparents had one, and I wanted to make a model of one for my uncle. Already preordered!! Thank you!
Nice build Chris! I've built plenty of these 64s but that looks sweet!
Very nice build - looks great.
Great build Chris! Looks good as always.
Always felt the AMT 64 impala has the most accurate body mold in spite of the old promo mold. Great build.
hard to say who did the decals but that engine is 348ci or 409ci - could be bored out to 427ci but?
really nice looking build
Really nice
Like the colors.
Looks great,
Nice as always Chris! Looking forward to that demon build!
Buddy used his legal name💀

Hello,
well done, again 😊👌
A lovely modeltyp 💯
By, by,
Martin
Yes, it's a W engine, but the 427 decals tell me it's a Z-11! It should have an aluminum intake and dual quads. Great kit.
Fill me in on who makes the parts for the LOVE MACHINE. Great video Chris, keep em conung...I'll keep watching
Chris i think you were right the engine would be a 409 even though there was 427 version it was a special order in 63 impala sport coupe what I understand is this engine was intended for nascar and drag racing purposes
Not likely obtainable for the average Joe to put in his 64 streeter
I wonder if you found some info on an older version of this kit if it lists the engine as a 409
Amazing job
The holder u use for the parts when painting. What is it?
The valve covers give it away as a 409.
that reminds me of a smokey unick stock car.
WHY floor shine over clear coat paint? I've always used clear paint
Cool buddy! But, that is not a 427 , I don't know why they put that on the box, it's a 409 looks to me like, with those teardrop heads or whatever anyone else calls them.

What kind of tape are you using
I’m guessing super glue gel doesn’t create a fog?
Hey it says Bad News why not add Bears it's their coach's car that would be cool 😎
❤
From the shape of those valve covers it is a 409 not a 427.
Not sure what AMT was thinking but that is a 409, not a 427. And Chevy engine with the curved heads and headlights are either a 409 or a 348. The factory hotrod 409 came with a listed 425 hp but in reality it was closer to 500 HP. That 409 was a hoss
Do you have all of your models displayed? If so, I'd love to see a video of your collection.
