Hi All -

I found this BBS thru... Oh heck, I don't know one of the many other car BBS's I frequent. I haven't had a change to start browsing here yet, but it looks like this site is very active!!

Anywho, I'm starting a full frame-off resto on a 1964 Impala convertible which is currently at an offsite storage garage. I've just recently built a house and am still trying to finish up the garage/shop. I'm just waiting for it to get a little warmer so I can tape/mud/paint the walls and I'm all ready to get cranking.

The Impala is an all numbers matching car with a 283, 2 speed powerglide. Even tho its a matching numbers car, it doesn't have any fantastic options on it so I'm going to be doing some mods to it. I am planning on..

1. 383 stroker with th700R tranny
2. 4 wheel disk brake
3. switch to console shift vs column shift
4. custom top/interior and paint

Hopefully I'll get to drive it before I'm 60.

Anyways, I look forward to reading all these great posts. As this is my first resto, I'm gonna be in here a lot!!!

Joe
