  1. well finally got around to finish lowering the rear end of the car today. Also finally got a set of little caps to run for a bit, still have the crossbar caps in a box ready for a later date.

    I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I always preferred the thin trim of the Belair vs the wide of the Impala for some reason. Both beautiful no doubt!

  4. I dont think you are, I like the bel air trim as well on the side. I just like all the extra stuff that the Impala got, the interiors, and the extra tail light. But any trim level 61 bubble top looks great.

    Thanks! And I think your Impala is one of the nicest I’ve seen. Perfect stance.
     
  7. Finally got the car dialed in enough to start taking it to some local shows. Still fixing a few things and working some bugs out.

  8. Still wrapping up a few things to get ready for Goodguys in a couple weeks, got the rear end rebuilt, tore the aftermarket radio in the glovebox out. Sold a spare engine we had sitting to now start the process of getting the 409 rebuilt to stick in it.
