59 Impala Posted January 20, 2021 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 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?
Tortuga Kustomz Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Looking forward for updates, this project is really interesting
59 Impala Posted January 21, 2021 Author 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.
Ian McLaren Posted January 24, 2021 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.
Painted Black Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Good to hear about the chassis, waiting on an update.
59 Impala Posted January 31, 2021 Author 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.
59 Impala Posted February 3, 2021 Author Posted February 3, 2021 Mock up of how this is going to look.
TransAmMike Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 I'm on board with this one and any S/S Dyno Don car.
59 Impala Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 I hope to get the decals on this tomorrow. I'm also finishing the 70 GTO "Tin Indian".
59 Impala Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 I decided to install the BMF before the decals.
59 Impala Posted February 8, 2021 Author Posted February 8, 2021 I got the decals on today. I still have a little more work that needs to be done. 1
59 Impala Posted February 10, 2021 Author Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks guys. I have a little more work to do and then she'll be done.
