61' Impala project

[Pockets]

So this is nowhere near as clean as the 64 floating around but this is where I'm starting. Like I said in the other thread, this was my grandpa's and when he passed he left his old car to me. 283 with a power glide and 61k miles.... hopefully but the end of the year I'll at least have it on the road

I would clean that car within an inch of it's life, make it road worthy and drive it as is.

Too bad it's not late 50s. Love the fins

That's the plan.. I kinda want to just wash it really good and clear it. I like the little bit of patina it has. I do want to swap to disk brakes and maybe some wheels. (Nothing major, no big ass donk wheels) and basic creature comforts.
