Had some free time tonight ( this afternoon after work) so i started this and am liking it so far........... OUt of time to go into details right now so lets let the pics talk for now.

Havent seen one of those in awhile! good direction from the sounds of it! keep us post on this build.

Here we go! just about done! Not bad for a few hours in two days............ Did notice acouple things that should be painted (mainly wheel wells in the rear)............ Add carb and install the air cleaner and upper rad hose i can call it done!

Little update............. Still need to narrow the wheel backs some more to tuck the tires under...... None the less here ya go!

Castrol Super Clean ina purple Jug from wal-mart (better hurry tho they wont be carring it any longer)

Was bored last night so i started on this.Not really happy with the out come of the color,Really miss the oold hobby room were i could turn the air on to cool it off and do some building....Owell non the less here it is...... Here's a before picture the way a friend of mine got it And here's one with it all stripped Heres the pictures with color........

LOL!!!! Ya i thought of that too but! gona add some rotors inside those spokes! that should look cool! 4 wheel disk brakes......... left enough to modify on the back side......but we will see

THANKS! Wasn't really sure on these once i made them deeper? but its growing on me........ may try a set of stock steelies.............

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome Drop top!!!! color fits it well!

Looks great Craig! Nice color combo as well!

Nice Job Lyle!! That turned out great! and the honey on the beach towel looks good as well...........

Polished it out the best i could.......added some detail paint,and added some wheels.........

Made up some deep dish wheels for this build and also made up another set of big-N-Little Tires......... Tires are out of the D-50 Dodge pickup kit and they give you all four tires that are wide! So i narrowed a set for this build......... I used the mini lathe for this and for cutting the outer ring off the stock mopar wheel and cut a deeper outer ring off another set of wheels.... The one wheel on the right is the stock wheel, The wheel on the left is the one i made deeper Stock Kit tire on the right and the one i narrowed is on the left

Picked this up last night from a friend........... He did the shortening of the bed and the tu-tone paint scheme which doesnt look to bad! maybe just a polish will help it........ He had Org got this from me last year on a trade for something along the way,and had converted it to a short bed............ well some where along his way of the build he lost steam and wanted to part with it.........so i said sure! I'll take her back.......

Sent ya a Pm.....................

Here's an up date guys! seems blue is a tough color to match up or it could be my flash............... Gettin there! Still have exhaust to make for it as well as a few other details LOL

Update! its shaping up now! heres a few pics

AWESOME!!! Jeff! the color fits it well!!!! and yes that is a nice kit!!! should build the 66 wagon next! its nice too!!!!

Hey i have some color on the body!! Still have the windshield frame to repair but its minor..........all in all i am pleased with the outcome! Just not the color i wanted to use but it will work! Everything is pretty much ready for details...... Let me know what ya think

Here we go! Have some color on,BUT wow! was it damp yesterday............. I have the box side's and the hood polished out and waxed! still need to do the cab..... And i did find some new tires to put on it. Not the best paint job in the world but it will do.......... Also started repairing the Grill ( you can see it in one of the pictures..) This shows were i did the cutting

Looks cool!!!!! love the tu-tone! looks natural!!! Is it just me or has some one been hangin around Irvin! looks to have the Arter rake :twisted: LOL Keep-r-going!

YUP! you nailed the 50's look to a "T"!!!!! thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cant really remember when i started this one but wanna say 2001 or 2002. Decided i need to get it going as its been awhile and would like to see it finished soon! LOL one of them long term projects and as my skills improve i like to go back to old projects that have gone aray.........(LOL) i think the bondo is dry considering how long its been LOL! and look no rust! thats aplus! LOL............. One of those body projects in the begining that i didnt know to much about but went ahead and tried........I moved the wheel well forward to the stock location (had one in the driveway i took some measurements) Then started to wing it! with super glue and bondo till were i am now....... Hope you enjoy! as i really wanted to share this one seeings how they will be out soon.......... Here's the driver side and i think its coming along pretty good Here's another angle This side i did get done some years ago LOL!!! so i gave it a polish once everything is dry it will be primer time! I even did the inside of the bed correctly.....................LOL the wheels are from the wild hoss Bronco kit! that have been detail painted, and parts box tire's! (but i am thinking of changing them as they look to small.....................

Hey Guys! whats up!! busy week or two here............. I finally started the restoration work on the Org issue 62 Impala Conv't last night and i can say i am pleased with it so far........ Once i looked the body over very carefully i then decided on how i was gona go about it,but did notice that the cowl area was gona need to be re-placed mainly because i wanted to keep the glass and interior tub tab's in place and the old one being a glue bomb i opt'ed for cuting it out....... The donor body was double checked and decided it would be to much to restore it.......... Awhile back i did a rear section replace and decided thats the way i wanna go with this one as well (the lower Q/panels were in nice shape on the Org body to start with) and the other would take some work and this way i could keep the lower rocker trim intack.......... Hard to see in the pictures but the rear deck vent was also wasted on the body i wanted to fix....... Body on the left is the donor As you can see it has a good platform,also notice the putty work on the tulip panel area and why i am replacing the rear deck vent. Lotta glue here! LOL new cowl vent installed,i used proweld and some scrap buggers (melted fine pieces of plastic from cutting) then molded it into the crack and then sorta smoothed out........... Rear section is almost in place just some minor trim and fit.........and its lookin good!!!!

messed around with the exhaust tonight and decided i should add Lake pipes.....doesnt look to bad! have the exhaust glued inplace except for the lakers! had to work on the chassis a bit but got it to fit pretty good, And also added the back bumper.......... Will work on the hood later in the week.......(needs to be repainted)
