61 impala sport sedan

[falconvan]

Here’s my next project; it’s coming home in a few weeks. I’ve known this car for a long time. A good friend of mine bought it several years ago and drove it around with a pretty hot small block and a TH350. A lot of upgrades; it got a lowered front suspension with g-body spindles, disc bakes, frame reinforced for the dreaded X-frame, quick ratio steering box plus some other goodies.
I did some metal work on the body a long time ago but it never got past primer.
He took it off the road a few years ago when he robbed the small block for his 69 C10 and the car has been sitting since. He called and asked if I’d trade some metal work on his C-10 if he gave me the Impala. Sounds like a deal to me. Not sure what I’m going to do with it yet; thinking about just a six banger and a stick on the column. The body is really pretty good and it’d make a nice budget priced driver.
