Thanks to the help from fellow H.A.M.B. members I was able to find a glass. I think I’m going to buy a spare also since the supply is drying up...
I’m not sure on that. Somebody else will need to confirm that
Yes I did. Haven’t heard back from them yet
Used is my first choice it’s just they are a little hard to find.
Called John and he said thanks for calling but sorry no
I asked him about that and he said that is a quarter glass not tailgate. The title says tailgate but description lists it as a quarter glass
Called Auto City Classics and they said a 62 tailgate glass is only available used. The search continues.
I will call them tomorrow. Thanks
Harrisonville, MO. Just south of KC
Appreciate the help
Well another setback on the glass. It is not flat so original or maybe a piece of lexan
Thanks. I’ll try Lloyds
I can’t remember 100% but I think it’s flat. Can anyone recommend a custom glass cutter?
Thanks. Will try them
Or I even thought about Lexan if I can’t find an original glass. I just hate to lose the original green tint
How’s this for bad luck. I was driving out wheel bearing races on my wagon today and the hammer head broke off and I hear a crash. Yup shattered...
Good luck on your travels. Hope to see you at stop #2. MO-KAN is a great little drag strip that looks like you traveled back to the 60’s. I...

[ATTACH] The first Hemi I have ever built and my first blown motor and OMG it runs unbelievable.
We had a great time as usual. It’s worth the trip just to see the guy put his 56 on the back bumper. [ATTACH]
Maybe I better save the points vs HEI for another day.
Thank you to everyone that posted. After reading everyones opinions I’m positive that both drum or disc will absolutely do everything I need them...
I’m running 15” wheels so plenty of room for a disc. Should finish tearing down the front end today. Looks like the entire front brake setup will...
Thanks for all the opinions. Sure looks like for the kind of driving I will be doing I can’t really go wrong either way. I am in the process of...
[ATTACH] Wanted to get some opinions on brakes. In the past I’ve always switched over to disc brakes but after reading several post from guys I’m...
Congratulations on finding your Impala. Definitely my favorite year. I’ve been searching for a 62 wagon and it’s like hunting for a Unicorn. Enjoy!

I’m in for one or two. I despise oil leaks
[MEDIA] He talks about the timing near the end
That story was told by Don Garlits when he switched to the 426 Hemi. He kept throwing timing to it trying to blow it up and it just kept going faster
