Here is a pic of my 1959 Chevy Impala 2dr Ht. My dad gave it to me about 8 years ago, he got it when he was 15 from my Uncle who had bought it when it was 3 yrs old. When my dad gave it to me it had been in storage for 17 yrs needless to say it was in bad shape. I replace the entire brake system and had a 348 big block built for it, no where near stock It is bored 60 over with forged pistons had heads of a 61 which came with bigger valves, high performance cam shaft and I have a tri powers set up I'm going to rebuid to put on it. If case you dont know what that is its 3 two barrel carburators in a row. This bad boy will be pushing around 450 + hp it should realy :jet: hehe. I was in a bad car accident and have not had the funds to finish it. I should be getting a decent settelment and planning on getting it running then.In the future I'm going to put airbag suspension on it so I can drop it down into the weeks. 20 inch crager ss wheels it hard to tell from this pic but this car has huge rear wheel wells the tires on it now are 12 1/2 inches wide!!! It looks like its tubbed out. The paint job will be white on top and trunk lid like in the pic and the rest will be a bright red thinking of using viper red something like that. I want to drop in a corvette 6 speed someday for now it will probally have a turbo 350 or 400. Let me know what you think of my baby Its not real pretty in the pic but someday it will be one sweet ride and when I'm gone it will go to my oldest son. If you have any projects with pic I would love to see them.
