Brooklins Limited Edition '65 Impalas

This is a nice option.  I have the turquoise 1965 Chevrolet Impala, which also has the top up/down option.  I have a question for those who have bought either the red or turquoise models.  Is anyone gluing or using another means to attach the boot or top to the model?

Is that brightwork surrounding the seat back a separate piece of white metal?, Those little trim bits on the doors as well? Impressive stuff. 

This model looks fantastic ! You can't beat an Impala SS as subject matter, either.

@ed-davis To answer Ed Davis who asks about attaching top or boot to the body of the car. While as John Kuvakas points out in his video that the pieces fit perfectly, they slip off easily. I found an easy solution: mounting putty! A minuscule very thin strand pressed onto the under side of the top and another thin strand on the leading edge of the rear deck (I further trimmed and evened out that piece on the deck) provide enough to hold the top or the boot yet the pieces can easily be lifted from their position. The putty never loses its adhesive property yet when it might it can be easily reapplied. The putty does not harm the finish and if placed carefully, it is not visible. I put the top up every night and down every morning when the car was on Martha’s vineyard during these past two weeks with no problem.

Thank you very much.

Ed, this really works and the boot doesn’t need any putty application. These locations will secure both top and boot.  Brooklin has added a whole new dimension to collecting convertibles. I love this feature!

Mounting putty works here too. Provides flexible attachment for easier part replacement.
