Wow. Proof that Roadster Shop can even make a big ol' boat a bad azz ride .


Note to self. When you hit the lottery make the following calls: 1. Lawyer, 2. Accountant, 3. Roadster Shop

Chris, I've followed this build for a while and am blown away by yet another amazing car from RS...well done to the team.

Question, I am in Australia and have a 61 Buick, I have plans...too many to fund right now, but I will be soon. I'm interested in the chassis you built for this, did you save a jig and could you rebuild another ? I was going to build my own, but this might save some time and $$

Thanks! - This chassis is one of our production FAST TRACK chassis for this GM body ('58-'64 - http://roadstershop.com/chassis/58-64-impala-chassis/), so we can definitely get one together for you. Just get in touch when you are ready and we can go over everything with you.

With the owner having taken delivery of the car just this weekend, thought it time to post some pics of a couple of final details and the completed car.

Enjoy!
