Thanks Dood. Yeah, I guess the car has an early Batmobile vibe. 

Super amazing build.   And the first thing that popped in my mind when I saw it was, "I'm Batman"!

I always have a soft spot for black paint with red interior, and as others have said the unintentional dark appearance of the Alclad chrome just works.??

The dark chrome was definitely a happy accident, as it really adds to the sinister look it has going for it.  That interior, wow!  Great stance and paint as well.  Congrats!  Thanks for posting, it gives me some inspiration to dig mine out of the stash and get it started.  Planning on something similar to what you've built here.

Channeling Bob Ross with the ‘happy accidents’… though there wasn’t anything sinister about him.  8^)

Sounds cool.  Looking forward to what you create.

Yes, it is indeed sinister looking!  The paint, engine and interior just come together and it looks great! Nice work! ??

Thanks man.  Means a lot coming from an accomplished builder like yourself.

Thanks Dood.  Yeah, maybe with a different spin like Frank Miller’s Sin City.

Gloss black paint kinda kicks my butt.  This style of photography is great for hiding flaws. ?

By far my favorite of all Impalas. I love the black chrome look on the black over red. I have a soft spot for black cars with red interiors. Well, I love red interiors period. 

You have definitely brought this finned classic in the modern age.

Thanks Mozzi.  I guess it lands somewhere between classic and restomod. 

I also really like ?❤️ combo.
