dave,brickman , both good job .
here is my 61 i have ,not making very much progress .
have a new progressive auto frame.

That is going to be one sweet 61 Impala. Im going to go and have back sugery in about 2 hrs!!!! Im having a disk replacement. Hopefull this will fix my problems and I can get back to work on my 59 Impala. I guess I still have lots of time though Im 31 . Anyway I really like that 61 very cool!! I also really like that ranchero Dave. Is that a Mustang door and 1/4 panel!!!! That is a very cool custom!!!

Well, the faster I go the behinder I get. LOL. Had gotten the top and the hood stripped and straightened and back into primer doing a panel at a time. Got the Sanderson Headers and new exhaust made up and on. Took the truck last Sunday for a cruise. Danged if I didn't bend both valves on number 3 cylinder. (nice highway, no one around, let's hit it). So now between the heat wave and some rain, I am tearing the 390 apart to get the heads redone. I've decided since everything is apart I am going to redo the fuel lines to my carbs while I am at it. Never ending saga.

Hate it when that happens.

Pulled the engine apart in my daughters car recently. Got it back together, runnin' great and the trans. went out ............ she then bought a new car. Oh well, it was good practice ......... that's what I keep tellin' myself. practice....practice....practice.....

I understand about murphy's law Ol'F100, I have that around here alot. Like for instance I can't us the paper work I have for getting a title for my '48! I know, but they changed something at the DMV since I bought my car from arkansas and a bill of sale isn't good enough. Anyone out there from a none title state that knows how to fix my problem? My car is ready to start driving and I need to get the paper straightened out.

Hey Kenny, that '61 is going to be one fine ride !!! Is that your own, or for a customer??? Looks like a big block for power???

it all for me !!!! i have had it longer than any car i have ever own .i have had it for 3 years ,i have ordered a progressive automotive automotive frame with c4 vette frt and c4 independent rear .i has a 427ci in it now . i want to work on it but i cant now because of coustomer cars .
i saw the photos of the ranchero looks like you are making progress.i cant wait to see it done .

I know what you mean on the lack of time for your own, Kenny !!!! Looks like another couple weeks on other cars, then MAYBE I can get at least a couple of weeks in on the Ranchero again. Have to get the cage bent up and installed next, then hang the motor and suspension. Sure would like to have it up in the spring !!! Hope you can find some time to get back on the '61, anxious to see it with all the tin on sitting on the floor, it's going to have a great stance.

Hey '59, yup, '67 Mustang quarters and door panels. Guess I must have ordered the wrong parts, huh??? So far the only unmodifed panel on the car is the one that separates the cab from the bed.....Not to worry though, it will have to get some mods to fit the cage in!!!!

Progressive makes some nice stuff.
Beutiful car Kenny.
Can't wait to work on one myself, I saw one recently and got
more ideas......Need to make more money

What size are those rims on that chevy KennyD? Looks like some coddington 17" but I'm just guessing. Very cool indeed, is it going to stay a hardtop or is there a topless conversion coming?

brickman , 22s and 18s intro's , i was going to make it a roadster and shorten the 1/4 panels a little . but i now have decided to leave it a bubbletop.
i have some more in prosess on cars in the shop, i will try to get on the site tomorrow.

hey all...only posted here a few times but here is a link to the '51 Chevy that I am doing with my father in law..... then will be starting my '32

Nice KennyD, those wheels have a retro kind of look to them, I like 'em. That year of impala has a very good line to it, thats going to be a sweet lowrider.

Nice ride Iceburgh, welcome aboard, keep us informed.

hey guys sorry i haven't been on in a while but i did get some pics of my project for you. I'll try to get some full pictures of the car too

ok full pictures of the car. here's the story these pictures were taken in 1980 when my dad first bought the car in california. so they're older pictures but since then there really haven't been many pictures taken of it because it was sitting up in our barn.
