Way to go! My grandfather had a 70 Impala custom that was light blue. Follow my thread above for any tips that may help. You have my support the whole way.

It's a photoshop of the planned changes to the stock body (Nomad quarters) and the color of the wheels that will be used.

Ahhhhh, the 2:73 gears bring back memories of my high school days. About 58 mph I could nail the pedal to the floor and grab 1st gear with the 200R4 trans. Then at 82 mph grab second at around 6200 rpm. Then about a 100, the passenger Would think we are done, only to realize we have another gear to catch. Of course this was done at a race track! Build em right and wind em tight!
