History Dwayne's (DD) 60's style 1963 Impala custom

I like D of F. The lace on the side of D would be hard though. I can now speak from experience. F is super tasty though. I'd sure drive it.

 

here's a few more for inspiration

 

I'd do A for myself, but I like D and F for a more custom vibe. I like the chromies and WWW's but I'd put little hubcaps on it too.

I'm sure this polling is a big help, right? Practically no agreement at all!

 

Wow, my first car was a '63 Impala. I am kinda surprised that I like A so much. E is also a nice one.

 

C or E.

 

I kinda like version E with the version G wheels. Awesome work man !

I like T, for tee-top!

You just painted the car over and over, right? Or are you MAGIC?!!? Unbelievable work.

Make it happen Rikster. Put some supreme on her. PLease.

 

Holy shit man, you are a true artist. My favorite for that body style was "E". Normally, I wouldn't like the turquiose, but man that's tits! But then again, what do I know, I'm colorblind.

 

here is a photo of my flat black 63

 

I am all about the E and F Would be sweet with some piner whites! I am going for a simmilar look with my car but cant decide on the design part. I am in love with the Imperial customs olds with the paneled roof though i think the best ever is the black 58 impala with a purple candy laced roof maybe somthin like that!? Has every one seen that one? I am also thinking of a set of chrome reverse wheels as a back up for the supremes on mine, oh I have no idea how to post an image but i have one on my profile.

 

Nah,,you ain't bucking the trend,,I kinda like it the 60's factory red style,,,but I'm probably the only one! HRP

 

these are all realy kool i realy like the fades more thow and on the ones with the flames i perer the caps.

rikster your simply amazing !cant wait to see a grill.......

 

BOOOOOinnggg!! for the win!

 

C or F catches my eye. Nice work Rik.

 

I haven't read all of the posts, but I'll throw my 2 cents on the table.

I think "D" is the most classic, and follows the '63 styling more closely.

I would add a darker fade at the edges of the panels, to reinforce the contrast with the "scallops", or panel lines, seperating the panels. More like the appearance of the Starliner.

The flames work well, and might be a nice addition to "D", because, while the panel paint looks great on the '63 body, it is really a style that existed before '63. Therefore, it's a little bit of an awkward combination with that body. The flames "date" the paint toward the era in which this car was produced.

 

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

Rikster you are great!! I personally like version H.

 

F'n great talent! I like "f", but you pick it... you gotta live with it...

 

I have the same car, I'm looking for some paint ideas too, except in a two tone color scheme. But I like A and C the best on these colors.

 

B, E, or F. Those are just killing me! Very Niiice, I like.

 

I wanted to do a custom grille for Dwayne's 63 Chevy Impala, I have a few idears... but not the time to do it right now. So I went the "easy" way and used a 1962 Buick grille/headlight assembly and used some chrome bullets to create a new grille. It sure does change the whole look of the car. Perhaps in time I will be doing a few more differnt style grilles that are custom built to fit this grille opening rather than using a different grille.




And with wide whites and hubcaps

 

this grill dose work well!

 

yeah they all look better then the first one.

 

I love the 1st one where it was green with the chrome reverse and skinny white. I had a 63 and was dying to do a similar treatment cause all the Imps around me have the ever sooo typical american racing/torq thrust but my situation i was unable to keep it. Now after seeing these and just makes want to scoop the one i just found.

Great work Rikster and Thanks for sharing...........These are getting filed!!

 

i think E, no maybe F, no C, no....damn i'm confused right now!!
