An introduction
Hey guys great site here. I don't know if my car qualifies as a G machine or not but I'll give it a shot.
62 impala 2 dr ht. I purchased it sept last year and have been crankin ever since. Everytime I make a deadline, I blow right past it. It's all the little things that holds everything up. But I hope to have it done soon. What has been done: -New floors -all rust cut out new metal in it's place. -2 tone paint. first time I've ever painted -shaved key holes and most of the body holes. I left the long trim that runs the length of the car to break the 2 tone. -frenched in tail lights and eliminated 2 on each side. -air ride -tubular control arms all the way around -4 wheels disc -20/22 wheels -custom exhaust -custom tank with drop-in pump and sump -LS1 -radiator overflow and mounts -all new wiring -custom interior with buckets throughout full electric fronts -custom dash with autometer gauges -custom center console -one piece headliner -custom door panels -square weave carpet -all new glass and a butt load more Here is what I started with: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f90/armyB4/62001.jpg Here is a more recent pic: http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f9...;20shoot/1.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f9...20shoot/12.jpg |
Welcome to the site and VERY BITCHIN' car! It's come a long way in less than a year and has a great look. It may not exactly be a track-day car but most folks here are pretty open minded and appreciate all kinds of updated musclecars.
Keep posting pics and keep up the good work! |
Looks great! And as Jason noted, most of us here love all cars. :thumbsup:
