Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
Bummer man, at least you picked a high production model. Shouldn't be too tough to find parts. Hate to see such a nice looking car banged up like that.
ps, whats for dinner?

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
Wow, what a wild ride this has been. I feel like I just found a needle in the haystack... Just bought this setup... and I will even have a nice driver side fender to sell.

Freakin' deer! Great score on the parts though. Looks like she'll make a full recovery.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
I have learned so much about my car through this entire thing! I tore down my entire front end yesterday (by myself) and it is much more simple than I thought. The hard part was pulling the hood off without messing things up (again by myself). Gonna clean things up a bit and get it ready for the new clip!

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
when pulling off panels and hoods (especially by myself) I like to put painters tape on the edges to prevent scratches.

Little by little. A good time to replace the heater blower motor I guess :-)

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
I got all the trim pulled and will get it welded up this weekend. Have to drill new holes for the Super Sport emblems, as these fenders didnt have them. Probably gonna use por 15 or some other type of rust preventative in the underside of the fenders and core support area up front... Anyone done this before?

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
Started the sanding and metal work. I am going to eliminate the emblem on the front header panel, but keep the rest. A few more hours and it should be ready to put back on!
