[@robertdiaz9297]

I'd also consider myself a beginner due to the fact that after about 35 yrs. I have decided to get back into model car building. I had built many many kits when I was young and only had dreams of the detailing that is now so very possible due to all the new products that are available these days. TY 4 sharing. And yes panel liner is not to good for accenting the grills. It is better to make your own solution. I'm working on two 67s that are going to be green and gold and green and chrome. I appreciate your in depth explanation of your technique. Once again TYVM

[@trevoursamudacollections5796]

i built that kit years ago & prostreeted it, one of my best build. .love your progress so far..

Hey Matt. Another great video. Thanks for what you do and sharing your expertise. Stay well brother

[@PlasticImaginationWorkshop]

I typically check out the body first, mold lines, warping, etc. Then I check out the chrome and flash. Lastly, I check out the tires, not sure why but they seem to fascinate me. Looking forward to seeing this one completed. Have a great day.

Nice build. Love that color. Lol the first thing I do when I open a kit is see what parts I can rob off it for other cars then make up my mind if I need another for parts or what not. Good tip on fitting the bumpers and hood before painting. Its always good to sand a little off the hood edges to make room for paint build up

Mod Podge is great. It comes in gloss and flat so I checked different videos and they all used the gloss. It’s thicker more tacky than Elmers so your windows are less likely to shift or fall out during assembly.

[@andydawson2101]

Hi buddy I have that kit in my stash thanks for building it, if I have a kit with good chrome I give it a coat of 2k clear so when you black out grills etc the acrylic paint should not rub off easily once dry. Keep up this great channel 👍

I built that same model some months back. Turned out nice!

[@davidhinkson8856]

Matt, you've timed this one well! I have had mine stashed away for several years now and realise it's going to need more work on it than I thought! I think it was an all new tool in 1997/98; that's when I bought mine and it is one of the high quality kits AMT was bringing out in that late 1990s period. I tend to check whether everything is intact and the color of the parts, e.g. when a red car is on the box and everything in the box is red, I know I've got my work cut out for me!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@NicksCollectableCreations]

I use the acrylic black myself for this exact purpose. I also thin it with water for panel lines.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@troystahnke6441]

Well done Matt! I did the same kit, SAME COLOR and all! But I didn't use black in the rims at all. Went a light gray instead. That is what I seen on most impalas when I looked them up. Still awesome job buddy! Will post mine on ur Facebook group sometime this week 👍🤘

Nice explanation. Another good one to try for blackwashing chrome parts is India ink, it's also water based so is easily removed and can be set with a short burst of matte clear.

[@GuitarMike1993]

Just got into it today, and happen to buy THIS exact model! Been painting everything by brush and hand :/ dont have room for an airbrush setup right now.

[@robertcampbell5685]

Mark I use regular flat black testers or tamiya and thin it out pretty good .you can even let it dry. Then I take a pointy Q tip just like you have and did it in alcohol

[@GrandNational66]

Matt you can brush over the acrylic grill paint with pledge or its replacement to protect it from cracking/ drying out...its also good for headlight glue.😊

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks for the tip!

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

May sound funny but I usually go straight to the instructions. The 67 is one of AMT's better kits. Nice Video Matt!!! I'll be watching

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks Michael!!

[@FuelsModels]

Hey Matthew those MCW paints can be reduced with lacquer thinner just like testors enamels so they’ll dry almost immediately. Also those smaller parts instead of glueing pieces of sprue I melt the sprue piece just a little and put it in a hidden spot just like you and it pops right of afterwards.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Great idea!!

[@hermanhandbrush4402]

One of the first things I look at is the body of the car kit. "What will it be like to paint this body?" is the question I ask myself, especially as a handbrush painter.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@michaelcooke2559]

Using old sprue to hold stuff to paint is a great idea.

I usually like to look at the instructions first to get a good idea of what I'm going to look at. I got one of those kits as well. Trying to score every year Impala so I can and then build them in order. I have used MCW three times now and all of a sudden I can paint some contest cars. Go figure.

Late to the party...I have this and an earlier release from 96. The 67 is one of my fav Impalas, along with the 65. I'll probably build one stocvk and the other resto-mod.

When you are painting with metallic paint the metallic will move as it drys remember to paint in the same direction because if go one direction on the side and go another direction on the it will look like a different color.

Rusr-oleum trim&bumper paint is very close to chase black that GM putts on there cars it is also called under the hood black .

[@jayzechab]

Picked up this kit to get back into the hobby after 30 years.. I’m struggling with the suspension assembly, many moving parts to hold at the same time. Any recommendations?

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Super glue works faster but you'd better have them all where you want them. I use tamiya thin cement and a good set of angle tweezers.

[@richdoyle6623]

Gluing the suspension assembly before paint will help. Painted parts sometimes seem more slippery than sticky. Sometimes I choose to have fixed position wheels and if the axel assembly is plastic I may not have them roll. I have found that allowing all that movement weaken the joints in time.

[@joelrooks389]

Hi Matthew, I love your videos and the detailed information is great. When do you decide prime and paint versus just paint? You said you painted the frame without primer. I know the 2X paint says it doesn’t need primer but I always doubt that.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

I only find it necessary to prime if it's the body.

[@neiljumpinjackflash7551]

I've watched quite a few of your Videos and I notice you don't use primer before painting. Any reason? When I tried that the paint chipped and wouldn't adhere properly to the body. Also when I prime and then lightly scuff the body, the final painting turns out really nice and flat.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Actually I primed and sanded after primer. Yeah if I didn't prim it would look terrible.
