Project Impulse - Lateral-g Forums

First time post, long time follower. I have a project that will be a love or hate project. This was the first car I ever owned. Purchased when I was 16 with my own cash. As time has passed and the car has went through it's phases (Street Car, Pro Street Car, now Pro Touring) I have kept it. Now you get to see the progress of my home built 77 Impala. It was Red in 1987 and then Pro Streeted and Blue in 1997.

I was going to include some more pictures but posted too early. Here are some as the frame off began. I know many of you have a two post lift. Probably not like mine. Two Post lift...two posts put between the body and the frame and then lifted up. Not the best, but when you have limited garage space????

Welcome. Keep us posted on your progress. The frame came out nice.

I didn't want to put up a ton of pics at first. This project is pretty far along so I will post a few pics at a time to get everyone up to speed.

Just an FYI..I first pulled the frame out and then blasted and painted it. Then I set the body back on the frame for storage. Then lifted the body back off to send the body off for stripping. You will see that the frame is painted when removing the body in the photos. Also the windsheilds and trim have been removed. This was the day before going to the stripper Enjoy...

Up and off the frame

Let's slide this frame out!!!

Very slowly....

Slowly..

More to come
