More updates: Engine bay painted and ready for an engine. Parts are ordered. Generator is getting rebuilt and converted to 6 bolt positive...
Update! I forgot how much I hate body work on cars that are together. My OCD kicks in and I go too far. Seems like a running theme at this point...
So at this point I’m convinced. Motor has to come out and here comes a Saturday with pretty weather. I make a phone call and an engine hoist is on...
Now you think I’m nuts. And that’s not untrue. But there’s a method to my madness. At least that’s what I tell myself.... And my wife, who’s not...
So it’s lower. Great. But what’s that awful ticking noise? It’s a valve and lifter with too much space between them. Right? Wrong! It’s an...
So the first thing I did was lower it. The rear had 2” blocks but they were on the wrong side of the spring so I flipped them and got 2 more...
How do you make a good car better? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve built a car in my head. All the way down to which gauges are in the dash...
Bump this to the top. There’s an update post coming soon I hope.
Doooood! This car is going to make you famous! P.S. You’re my hero. Xoxo Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
This Impala is slick. What's the story on it? Anyone got any more pictures? [ATTACH]
That's the one! He loves it. Looks like I've got clearance Clarence!
Thanks guys! That's perfect! Can we go full lake pipes and chrome reverse on this one? Sorry to keep asking. I'm trying to convince my dad to...
BTT. You said six weeks in February! How's it looking?
I'm dying to tear into this one. Im thinking a very mild kustom. Just lowered an inch or two front and back with some hubcaps or chrome reverse....
How about a bump. Can someone tell me about the mustang in the background here? I really don't want this thread shutdown so if you know anything...
Built in the early 70s but still has that 60s vibe. Love this car. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

Talk about a brain fart! Never even considered the letters to be cast in. They just looked so well defined and clean I assumed they were stamped....
Ya. That's what I meant. Carb hat for a supercharger. Wasn't very clear there. Letters are stamped which makes me think it's early but who knows.
There might be one of these in every garage in America but I can't seem to find any info on it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Supercharger hat...
Just out of curiosity. Why isn't the oil pan polished? I know it'll catch rocks and all but at least the sides will look good. Or is that a mock...
Don't worry about changing it. The bossman will take care of that.
Holy cow, guy! You better snatch that up! [emoji33]
I sure would like to see this one in color.
Awesome. Can't wait to see some pics. Keep us updated.
BTT. Any updates on this project? I really wanted to see what you came up with.
This one was in the classifieds here on the HAMB. Love at first sight. [ATTACH]
Should be the first picture you posted of the rockers. Or at least that's what it was supposed to be. Did I mess that up?
There's only problem with that. The head bolt hole is offset. In the picture from 56 it looks like they've offset bolt in the stand to keep the...
Is it too late to change my answer? [emoji16] After seeing those other pictures and that ad I'm going with George on this one. George. It's...
