Nice work. I'm currently building a 61 flatroof and it looks like we are heading in similar directions. I just delivered the frame last night so we can work on the final prep before paint. I have spent the last couple of weeks prepping my belly pan for the spray-on liner.
My plans...For the drivetrain, I have a 383 stroker, BW T10 4spd (may swap for 5spd), the level 3 suspension kit from Ridetech, C6 brakes on all four corners, Wilwood master, and Borgenson steering box.
I've probably over posted pics of this car already, but here is the bucket of bolts that I have been tinkering with on and off over the last 5 or 6 years. It's a body-off '61 bubble with a mild 350/th350. It has '64 buckets wrapped in '61 fabric, GM discs, and power steering with a 605 box. It's a rust-free California car.
The next one that I do will have a full boogie PT chassis. I figure that the X-frame should be worth about 50 bucks to the scrap guy.

Not an impala but here is mine. It's been in Australia for 3 years now but Actually a car well known to a few on this site as formerly owned by another member. It is on bags with C6 brake upgrade. It's my daily driver commuting a 100 mile round trip each day.
Plans are big for this one.

I'm on a huge early 60's GM bubbletop kick right now and have been scouring the web for one [that I don't have room for]. 61 Delta, 61 Ventura, 62 Impala. A 62 Pontiac and/or Buick bubbletop roof swap would be killer too....yeah, I'd do that. I need to find some time to render all these up.
Do a '62 Olds Starfire with a '61 front end and roof... or a '61 with '62 quarters... anyway, you get the idea! LOL

Beautiful car. Looks like its on Southbound Woodward Between 13-1/2 and Pasquales. I lived in Michigan for 39 years before moving to Ocala, FL.
