Customs Impala gets new shoes!

American Racing Equipment wheels look perfect on just about any vehicle except maybe a bicycle.

 

Down in front!

The car is looking really good with it's new shoes and slick paint!

He hasn't seen it in person, but he approves the photos.

 

That's just right.

Your Impala looks fantastic!
Like you I wanted a set for mine from the day I bought 15 years ago.
Finally got them last year and couldn't be happier.
Drive the wheels off her.

 

You've made that old Chevy look great!

 

I don't do tattoos......
but if I ever did one it would probably be a Torq Thrust wheel.

That opening post is a calendar shot, no doubt about it.

 

Looks great !

 

Looks great ! .. just bought some early 15x6 & 15x7 "D" spokes for my 66 Nova Wagon

 

Hope all is well in Sarasota Brian!

 

Looks good, glad you're getting what you wanted.
Did you get the wheels/tires online? Happy with the vendor?

 

Sweet looking Impala !

 

Yup. "Wheels and Tires for Less". Free shipping, mounted, balanced, lug nuts (they sent two packages of those) everything for less than I could have bought them locally.

 

Thank you, we were spared any damage whatsoever, save the pineapple plant I had stuck in the ground when a pineapple went bad on the counter. The heavy fruit on the little stalk toppled over in the wind. Oh well, I will try again when I let the next one spoil before we can eat it...

 

That is the look the "older guys" with a good job would have had in the mid 60's when I was in high school or trade school.
The son of a local Chevy dealer drove year old Impalas with 409 and 4 speed in the 60's Always with a stance and some extra horse power but his sister could outdrive him in them.
Your car has that look from the late 60's nailed.

 

A little update on the Impala: A week ago I had the center section of the rear axle swapped from the 4.11 Posi to an open 3.36. I had it done as I'm still pretty gimpy from the left hip replacement. The difference in drivability is everything I expected, well worth the expense. (So, if anyone wants a 4.11 posi for a '55-'64 Chevy or Corvette, I can hook you up. )
Today while waiting for photos of our Sarasota home from neighbors after the second hurricane in two weeks, there I got the Newport wiper motor installed, fixed the turn signal mechanism behind the wheel, and was rewarded with the news that our home came through unscathed aside from a limb from the neighbors stupid Mango tree denting our eavestrough. Who'd think having the eye of a Cat. 3 hurricane passes directly overhead would be the best possible outcome? No flooding. No (well, minor) tree damage. No windows blown out in 100+ mph winds. Super happy all around with todays news.
Oh, and the Newport wiper conversion is the bomb. I may step up for an intermittent switch, but they work great as is. The turn signal switch is a goofy set up, monkey motion cam behind the wheel with a tiny cable to the switch mounted at the base of the column. I was tempted to just get a new column but this worked OK.

 

Good to not get storm slammed.
The wheels make it your ride.
Thanks for update on Windshield wipers and Turn signals
Congratulations

 

Thanks man, that's exactly what I was going for.

 

Take that Milton!!!
Great news, boy, I was thinking about you when the news broke that Sarasota was going to be in a hurt, wasn't sure you had trekked south yet.
Better buy a lottery ticket Brian!

 

Right? I'm on the fence about taking the roadster down now, but I know I'll miss it come January...

 

Stunning! Absolutely stunning @flynbrian48!!
