Are you in Vancouver or out in the burbs somewhere? If you want any info or a hand feel free to contact me as I have been there already and have learned a lot from my mistakes haha.

you mentioned computer, what is the motor out of?

i've seen frames with everything as in suspension, rear ends and tires mounted for around $400. although i haven't seen a deal like that in a while, i'm sure all that stuff would have to be changed anyways....but easier to get home i guess. last i really looked for anything impala related was a few years back while helping a buddy with a 64 hard top frame off. had i known i was gonna go down this path i would've kept the frame he scrapped....we had to take two cars to build one. but i digress...hahah....

the wrecker i've noticed all their frames they've got listed for $700. i haven't touched base with them so i don't know if it's just the bare frame. also they didn't have any convertible frames either. by all means....if you want to wait for when i get my extra one......although the way things are going i'd advise for you to not hold your breath at this stage...hahahha. seriously though...if u want to get one earlier let me know and i can give you the contact info. i'd be more than glad to help you turn a wrench as well.

i'm actually in east van......that explains the space constraints..hahhaha...i'm sure i'll be bugging you quite a bit as time goes on here...using your car as reference. again, love it.

the motor i got out of a 1992 buick roadmaster. i'm leaning towards the ram jet intake after the rebuild vs. keeping it the TBI. i know they come with a piggy back computer to ensure a smooth operation. edlebrock and others i believe have copy cat and perhaps better intakes.....but again....i'll leave that debate up to the engine question thread...so many questions.....so many decisions....
