In need of a 59 to 61 Impala steering wheel. The 59 I have is to far gone. I sand blasted it and found it had been repaired very badly and its just junk. Anyone have anything? I know the 61 is different but would settle for one.

Wish I didn't have this pic posting problem.

After the 1st run the other day I realized that I needed to get the air cleaner done and on it. The carb had been covered and taped for storage but now I need it open. So I finished up the caddy can.

I finally got to drive it today!!!! I made a video and its fun but I can't get it to post here. It is on Face book at Creative Restorations. I am just not that good with putters for this stuff.

Pulled a very late night and worked on the 52 till 12:30. Got the rear bumper on so I could get the spacing for the tail lights right and for the exhaust tips. You guys would be proud of me on the exhaust:rolleyes: I made the whole system out of scrap lying around the shop not one dime invested...

Got the 52 out of storage the other day in hopes of having it running and driving very soon. The grill is almost done and I have started on the new tail lights. I got one of the buckets made and mocked in. Doesn't look like much now but at least I am back on my own car for a change.

Had it out for its 1st road trip stretching its legs. Kinda wondering if the owner is going to be happy about it.:rolleyes: It drives so smooth and quiet and he has stressed that he wanted it to still be a truck like he remembered it being. I can tell ya it ain't!!!!!!!

I don't under stand why it won't let me post the hood pics[S. Believe me it was a mess, hope to have it flat in primer today.

Gona try one more time.......... Main body in primer. Need to block it with 320 then light coat and 400 when ready fro paint.

I give up.:mad:

In don't understand why I can't get pictures to post here no matter what size I make them.

Finally got the quarter ready and in primer. While waiting for the primer to set I thought I would start stripping the hood. Well:rolleyes: guess what I found? the whole right side covered in bondo 3/4 of a inch thick!! Sent pics off to the owner and told him we will have to revisit the estimate...

Are you using the fenders from the 70/73? I am doing a 78 now and was wondering if that could be done. This is the 1st one with the 74 or newer one I have done and find it ridiculous how they made the changes. Hope all is well with your Dad.

Myself and the owner would love to go there and kinda rub it in their face but the dealership was sold to 2 different co's. sence then and nobody from the orig is around. I do know and see the top salesman from those days and see him maybe every other year or so and I will tell him but it won't...

Well.......:rolleyes: The story changed a bit today. I started stripping the right quarter and found a mass amount of bondo. The whole quarter into the roof and door over a inch thick in spots. Just when ya think you have one without someone else's problems to repair it just jumps up and bite...

LS really is the way to go these days. We have done 2 sofar and have one maybe another build coming up soon. The orig cost is high but things are coming down. If you want power/sound/reliability/gas milage and so easy to maintain its the way to go. 65 Malibu LS 3 6spd 62 Impala LSA blown...

It is in wonderful shape and I hope to have it done in a very short time. I will keep posting if there is interest or it not to new.

Had to get it outside this morning to take some pics for his ins, co.

It is done and ready for driving the bugs out of it so the owner can drive it home to N.H. next month. He and the wife will be taking a week and plan on driving it home on all back roads, no highways at all just taking there time and enjoying it and the sites. Sounds to me like a great trip and...
