Title: Looking for a model car
Post by: JudgeDredd on February 03, 2016, 03:21:18 PM
Hi all

My daughter is right into Supernatural and I'd really like to make the car for her.

It's an Chevy Impala 67. Does anyone know where I can get a model kit of one please?

Thanks

Sounds like you may not be able to find a 4-door kit for the 67 Impala

Thought as much in my searches over the last few days.

I kind of hoped someone might know of a quirky store (physical or otherwise) that does one that Google wasn't reporting. Especially possibly in the US as it's a US motor

Thanks though

You're probably going to have to look on Ebay for a 2-door

Yeah. I bought her a small one. But I wanted to make one for her.

Perhaps I could buy the two door and make it a four door.... :-\

there are simply no 4 door versions of that car from that year that I can find other than the ones I listed.

Star knows his models. That's going to be definitive.

Star, any advice on conversions?

just try to get the $100 model or a scale replica.  that kind of conversion is not an easy task.
