Default 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 -





The floors were cut out and this is the start of the full frame build -

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!

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!

Rear Frame Rails -





The start of the internal and external crossmembers that will flow along the rectangular tubing pretty much the entire length of the frame -





Start of Transmission Crossmember -



Final drive shaft bend/loop -

Some more pics of this build. Its just going to be a cool driver.





Link arms all have a gradual bend in them



The old rear end will be gone soon. It is just for mock-up in these pictures.

We are back on the car and received the new engine and transmission last week. Time to build mounts and brackets for the engine/trans and finish off the suspension!
