59 Impala Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) My next drag Chevy. Don Nicholson's 63 Impala. I just received this model in the mail today and it is in the purple pond now. It is an original kit and in perfect condition. This will be easier than some of the other builds because of the condition that it's in at the beginning. Lots of work to be done.

Painted Black Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Working on this same kit right now, looks like you have a nice firewall, mine was missing so I found something close and made it fit. Will you be using the original chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Kustomz Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Looking forward for updates, this project is really interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59 Impala Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks guys, and Robert, yes I'm using the original chassis. I found a two four barrel manifold to use also. The Green paint is now history and the next step is the White color and I think a Black interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McLaren Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Very cool, you don't see a lot of injected 409s. Dual quads and white paint will be next level, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59 Impala Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sorry it's taking so long for this build. I had to finish a 62 Corvette and 59 El Camino. I stripped the green off and finally got some white primer sprayed on today. I also got the interior and chassis painted black. Next comes the gloss white for the body.
