60 Impala

[59 Impala]

A HUGE THANKS goes out to Bill Geary for the roof for this car. He sent me the roof off of the 59 and I'm gonna use it on my 60 cause the roof was previously removed by one of our members in our club for a 62 Buick same kit night build I think two years ago. Well, he didn't want the rest of the car and gave it to me. I've been trying to think of how I could build it, maybe as a convertible or a roof from something else or yet a custom of some kind. Well, now the answer is final. A stock roof from the 59. I'll have to do a little work on it but I'm happy as two flies on a pile of horse (stuff) :lol:

Well enough yakin and here are some pics of what she looks like now. These are just mock up pics.

Here are two pics of the removal of the spare tire wheel well and making the floor piece to take its place.

Thanks fer lookin. This build will be awhile to get finished cause I have a few in front of it to finish.

Thanks for posting the '60 , Dan

I'll be following yours and Bill's and hopefully Ron's.

My current project is a '59 El Camino and the 59-60

Chevy cars/trucks are gorgeous whether stock or kustom.

Glad you scored the roof for your build.

Thanks for the compliment Dan! That's coming along great and you're ahead of me in getting your roof attached.

I have some more work on the trunk to do, so hopefully over the weekend that'll get done. Great job on correcting the floor pan as well! I forgot that the '60 had its spare fully in the trunk and Chevy got rid of that spare wheel well by then.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks guys, and Bill, the top isn't attached yet. It's just taped on for now. I have some more work to do to get it to fit properly. If you look close enough you can see that it's a two tone car already. The roof is kinda yellowish and the body is white. I could just leave it that way or I could paint it a different color. Just kiddin, it will be painted but I don't know what color yet. That's a long way off. Have a good day fellers. Dan
