Car restoration is one of my other hobbies. This Impala was a two year project. It was a barn find, with a six banger and powerglide transmission. I started tearing it down to get all of the dried out bushings replaced and before I knew it, I had a frame.
Cleaned it up, powder coated it, updated and improved all of the suspension and shock packages, installed 4 wheel disc brakes and managed to find a CO6 Corvette engine from an unfortunate donor. It was installed and hooked p to a 6 speed manual transmission. I tried to keep it looking as stock as possible, but it is one sweet cruiser.
