My first view of the Impala when I went to go look at it in Canora, SK. Bumper looks alittle bent, but not too bad. Interior rear view...love that rear seat cover (NOT). Interior front view... that shifter and gauges have got to go, but overall not too bad at all. Body looks straight, some rust on both fenders and rear quarter panels. Cragar S/S mags I like, but these are beyond repair. I didn't even take pictures of the engine because I just assumed that it would be swapped out.
I wanted to make an Impala SS clone, so I bought a floor shift steering column from ebay. Then came the 3-speed automatic console and caprice gauges, again from ebay. To accommodate buckets seats and console, I got the mounting brackets for the seats, shifter and console (all from ebay). Try and find a 3-speed auto shifter (alot of old power-glide 2-speed)...finally got one from a junk dealer in Kansas.
Finally, the snow is gone and I can get her home. Alot of gunk remover and some power washing, but it's starting to look clean. The outside of the car looks pretty good, I really like those Cragar S/S mags...going to have to find a new set someplace. Impala S/S trunk emblem that I had to test fit...also put one on the grill.
