Re: 62 impala

it's been in a garage for 18 years so I'm changing all the fluids and getting rid of the 18 year old gas. Probably have to rebuild the carb and the brakes need some work. I"m going to drive it a bit and decide what to do. I'm going to put some discs on the front and would love to lower it a bit as well. It really just needs a good going over.

Well I'm right into it now. Evicted some old tennant's yesterday. They got into the back of the rear seat but did not damage the upholstery just the padding. The wiring has mostly been gone thru and just need a few pieces. No horns or even a relay ( was able to use and old horn relay from my 59 apache). Horn wire was pinched in the dash but that was fixed. When the appraiser was by to do the paper work he laughed at all the cobwebs underneath.

Got into the engine and found 1 broken rocker and a couple of bent push rods. Located some replacements and runs ok now with the 3 carbs rebuilt. Just have to drop the tank and clean it out. I have it running on a 1 gallon gas can right now.
