1966 readying for my visit to Vietnam, one of the "guys" had a brand new SS 396 Chevelle that his new bride's family bought them as a wedding gift. I got several rides in it. I still remember the thrill of acceleration and burning rubber. The guy didn't make it back. Your build is spot on. Thanks again for sharing.

I want this kit! I might build it as a gasser, but it would be cool to build it stock, but lowered a bit, and some Crager ss wheels. Oh yeah, I love the color, I guess I missed the can info when I was watching.

I don't build kits anymore, I just don't have the patience, I've probably smashed more kits then I built, they just make me loose my mind, but I do like watching these build videos, and plus they have become so expensive, by the time you buy the kit, the paint, the glue, any sanding pads, it has become an expensive hobby for me, so now I just watch builds witch I find very satisfying so thank you for posting and building.

I built this one a while back! I did just as you did but I painted mine red! It is a nice build! I was worried about the steering column underneath the hood and now I remember what kit it was from the 61 Impala! So take note if you build the 61 Impala do not add the steering column on to the fire wall until you get the body on the the assembly frame and interior! Nice build! I enjoyed it!

I can remember building this kit years ago. I always liked when they had the Valve train details in the heads. I could remember building it with the valve cover laying on the fender. I wish all kits included under the hood decals. Battery decals, caution decals, all of that make such a difference under the hood

Chris. I love watching you use different brands of common spray paint instead of high priced Testor / Model Master series paints. More often, you use the Rust-oleum painters Touch 2X. These are available at Walmart. I recently got back into modeling primarily due to you videos, tips and techniques that I never did. I am doing Snowman's truck and trailer from the movie Smokey and the Bandit. I didn't use 2X primer on the truck body (used a premium model primer) but I did use the 2X Gloss Black on all the truck body parts. I found the 2X Gloss Black to be easily scratched by my fingers and leaves imprints even after 3 days of hardening. The paint didn't adversely react with the primer. Do you find at times the 2X paints do this? I still have the trailer to build and I will use the 2X Flat Black primer and then the 2X Gloss Black. I feel I need to do a clear coat on the truck before continuing, I will use 2X clear coat of course. I just don't want to be forced to use the expensive model paint's. It's a bag of worms, but what are your thoughts? I know you talk about environment and the paint temp. I did paint these in a bit cooler temperatures, in my work-shed during the day and then brought the parts inside. I'll try to find and review your vids but anything helps for your opinion! Cheers! Earl

I noticed with the Molotov Chrome pen (brilliant thing) that it needs to be left to dry for at least a few days or touching the finish with your fingers dulls the chrome finish. Nice build though, never used future floor polish as a laquer. Always use acrylic clear spray tins, may give the polish a try over clear? Those AMT kits are very expensive here in the UK, equivalent of 70 to 80 US dollars over here.

Once again another great build of a lovely subject. In terms of the warp you noticed in the body, why do these things tend to show up after you've done a really nice paint job and you're ready to get it all wrapped up? I had a similar dilemma a year ago when I built Revell's Smokey and the Bandit Firebird.

Chris. You mention about putting the body into a dehydrating booth (@ 58:57) in the vid. Is that after it's painted, plus most of us don't have that. I know you say it at the end of all builds that you use Future Floor polish. I really want to try that and I know I seen you demonstrate it, but can't find the vid. Do you know what video that was in? Cheers! Earl
