This is what I like to see. A near step by step build with tips and tricks for a clean and detailed model. Thanks for helping us new back in the hobby people.

[@onixfieroandscalemodelworks]

I love build videos. I watch them as I build. Sometimes get great ideas as I’m building from them. Can’t wait to see the final product.

Love that kit. I bought 7 kits so far. Painted it Emerald Green awsome build. Great video, keep em coming I'll keep watching.

Had one just like this! Yes the engine was gold. Mine was silver with black vinyl top.❤(442)

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

[@calvincooley1074]

I have one to build as well! Lol the 1st thing I check out is the wheels. I love good wheel detail!

Pardon the grammer, poor editing technique.

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

[@waynewootton5385]

what a great job

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Thanks Wayne!!

[@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.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

They usually say in the instructions to pre fit parts before assembly ... Good thing they do!!...

[@richdoyle6623]

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.

[@dbknight3]

Thank you so much for these videos! I am getting back into model making and really appreciate all the tips and tricks!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Awesome!!

[@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.

Glad to see MCW paints around again. I know back in the day they had problems with it drying up. I still have a few bottles and with big clumps in them. Lol. Great paint to match the colors of Nascar back in the day.

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.😊

Great video man, great tip on the stick for painting the parts

[@michaelcooke2559]

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

[@jasonwaltrowski2315]

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

[@stephengrooms4508]

A tip for you is if you use flat black or white use Walmart paint it's made by rustoleum anyway and it's only $1 a can

I have this same model . Seems we like a lot of the same models. Great videos .

[@blackphantom99]

[@modelcarvideos5829]

[@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]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@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

[@waynewootton5385]

i like useing stainless steel spray paint on my muffer and pipes looks great

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻🍻

[@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 👍

Thanks Paul!!

[@floydturner9896]

I've found if I paint my exhaust red primer then dry brush it with a steel silver it'll make it look like kinda new pipes starting to rust over.

Let's see first thing I do, is check the wheels, followed by flash. Love your content man!

[@modelcarvideos5829]

[@animalyze7120]

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.

[@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 👍🤘

[@modelcarvideos5829]

Awesome!!! Thanks!!

[@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!!

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.

Don’t worry I say modg Podg too!

Impressive details in this kit.... Not too many kits you see with a separate frame rather than the frame being molded in the chassis...

[@michaelpitcock5445]

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.

[@blueoxmodelshop3405]

Great video dude!! I feel like I should try air brushing. Your paint comes out awesome!

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 .

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.

[@oldschoolmodeler]

Im building the four door version of this kit. I messed up the paint on the body. It's been in the strip tank. Hopefully i can prep it better and prime it this time. Maybe the black will come out better 🤷‍♂️ Great kit otherwise. Not much different then the two door 67 impala.

is there any way you can make a straight front end for a 55 chevy or a 57 chevy thank you

[@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.

[@brianrussell9223]

The body then the engine,then after all of that the intereir and everything else for flash.

[@modelcarvideos5829]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@brianlewis6926]

Which mod podge do you like the best..? I seen yellow and orange label haven't seen the blue one like your using

[@modelcarvideos5829]

I've only used the blue one. It works great but I don't know the difference.

[@slowuglyjunk54]

If it’s not too late, the corner pieces of the grille should be white not black. They’re actually a milky plastic on the real thing. I had a 67 when I was 16 and always remember that being so weird so it jumped out at me when you painted them black.

[@modelcarvideos5829]
