♫ She's real fine, my 409! ♫

I've been flogging this '64 Impala Super Sport for a while now.  It's Revell's pre-painted die-cast and plastic version in Daytona Blue, part of their "American Dreams" series of kits.  As furnished the model features a 327/Powerglide combo which I've altered to the dual-quad 409/425 with 4-speed configuration.  A relatively easy powertrain swap requiring only some modifications to the exhaust headers so they match up with the manifolds.  The kit's generic blackwall rubber was ditched in favor of a set of period-correct whitewalls of unknown pedigree.  The motor itself is basically stock though I upgraded the ignition system via a Parts By Park distributor, spark coil, and plug wires.  Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup......

I got a few licks in last night -- the heater hoses are mocked up and I installed cables on the battery.  With any luck at all I might finish this thing by Christmas.
