Calling All 58-64 Impala's

[64impala]

I'm building a 64 impala and wanted to see here who else is pro-touring these body styles. Here are some pics of my frame off. Please post pics of your builds and share any ideas! Thanks:D :cheers:

[ironworks]

There are a couple guys on here with impala's. I bought a 62 bubble top a few weeks ago. I'm picking up 62 from Kenny on Sunday to put one of our prototype chassis's under his and mine. I Tracy (Recovery Room ) bought a 62 pontiac a few weeks ago, that he plans to fix that one up.

Plus there are quite a few more.

Post up some specs on yours.

about to start one here too ...62 impala + lsx,airide,vintage air..etc

I've got a 64 that I'll be fixing up once I'm done with my wife's Camaro. The body isn't perfect but my plans are for it to be a driver. It needs a fresh motor and tranny. I've contemplated going Air Ride on it. I picked up a frame for it last year and had it blasted and powder coated. The floors/underside need some attention before I do anything else.

Nice work. I'm currently building a 61 flatroof and it looks like we are heading in similar directions. I just delivered the frame last night so we can work on the final prep before paint. I have spent the last couple of weeks prepping my belly pan for the spray-on liner.

My plans...For the drivetrain, I have a 383 stroker, BW T10 4spd (may swap for 5spd), the level 3 suspension kit from Ridetech, C6 brakes on all four corners, Wilwood master, and Borgenson steering box.

Heres a 6fo we built 5 years ago. A little pro-touring, a little pro-street, a little street rod.

I'm building a 62 for a customer, it has an AM Max G frame, ls2, 4l80. I have been meaning to post up some pics but I am too busy in the shop...

[Hdesign]

I'm on a huge early 60's GM bubbletop kick right now and have been scouring the web for one [that I don't have room for]. 61 Delta, 61 Ventura, 62 Impala. A 62 Pontiac and/or Buick bubbletop roof swap would be killer too....yeah, I'd do that. I need to find some time to render all these up.

[texas56]

This is the one we built.

Beautiful rides!!!!!! Keep posting the pics and builds:thumbsup:

[SpeedyV10]

I've probably over posted pics of this car already, but here is the bucket of bolts that I have been tinkering with on and off over the last 5 or 6 years. It's a body-off '61 bubble with a mild 350/th350. It has '64 buckets wrapped in '61 fabric, GM discs, and power steering with a 605 box. It's a rust-free California car.

The next one that I do will have a full boogie PT chassis. I figure that the X-frame should be worth about 50 bucks to the scrap guy.:unibrow:

Man I LOVE your car! Do you have any interior/engine pics?

[cluxford]

Not an impala but here is mine. It's been in Australia for 3 years now but Actually a car well known to a few on this site as formerly owned by another member. It is on bags with C6 brake upgrade. It's my daily driver commuting a 100 mile round trip each day.

Plans are big for this one.

Do a '62 Olds Starfire with a '61 front end and roof... or a '61 with '62 quarters... anyway, you get the idea! LOL

Beautiful car. Looks like its on Southbound Woodward Between 13-1/2 and Pasquales. I lived in Michigan for 39 years before moving to Ocala, FL.

Here's my '62 Bel Air. Currently getting a LS2/T56 Magnum w/ a 9" rear end swap at Chris Holstrom Concepts.
