Great story! I've got Impala fever now, and am busy getting mine reliable. Mine was a little more at the buy in, but not much...
Dang you got some cool stuff. Wish I lived on your street I'd do 3rd gear burnouts in front of your house every week.
I would just sit in my lawn chair on the sidewalk like a creeper hoping to get a look at @Moriaritys cool stuff!
I’m still planning to take you up on that someday. I just need to find a reason to be in Mound, MN for work. The trip I am on now has made me a bit more adventurous than I even was before.

I have this issue in fact I found and was thumbing through it a few weeks ago while sorting through my older magazines (I usually end up doing more reading than sorting) for some reason I never put two and two together I realized it was your Impala until just now!
Was just looking for this thread as my grandfather and I just picked up a 61 Impala on Friday and was looking for some wheel ideas to replace the polished americans that are on the car.
chrome reverse usually always works, I think they will look good on this one. Just mainly starting to eyeball other cars for ideas, will then need to do some measuring of how wide of wheel and how much "reverse" we can run. Will probably jack Taboo up and borrow a wheel to test fit on it, lol.
