BIIIG front end, nice smile, no?!;-) Color-coded lower valance, as I never liked the silver that they came with. Bumpers are all original!! They are from my original car I had as a kid, never refinished, some blemishes but need to be real close to even see those, still shine up sweet, not bad for 46 huh?!

As above, now has BFG Radial TA all around, 15 inch rear, 14 inch fronts, color-coded Rally wheels. Interior is all new, I put in a new headiner(pain in the ass), front bucket covers, also a pain, new carpet, door panels, rear deck package. This was originally a 2 speed powerglide column shift, switched her over to 4 speed.

Had just towed the Impala down the road a mile and a half to a neighbors house, where I picked up the 1968 Camaro 327 for it, dragged it back home. At this point, all the front end bushings and all had been replaced, camber was whacked!
