Torq'd Design Lab - 1962 Chevy Impala Full Custom Build
 

This '62 Impala was a one owner barn find that has been an on and off project for the past year or so. The car was put to the side in order to get other customers projects finished but we are just about ready to get back on this car and finish it!! It should be a pretty cool build!!

Car was complete and was stripped and dipped -

Very cool! Can't wait to see what you guys do with this beast.

I love large (hopefully) pro-touring cars. There's just something awesome about low and fast.

Keep it up guys! :thumbsup:

I love the 61 and 62 Impala's. I'll be watching this one. :popcorn2: :popcorn2:

Looking forward to see what you do with this, Nice car to start with

Thank you guys! Yes, this will be a pro-touring styled car mixed with a few custom rod touches. It was a very clean car to start with!
