1964 Chevy Impala SS Frame off build.

Unnf, so much want.

Can't wait to see what it looks like all powdercoated and cleaned up.

then the frame goes on, engine back in, suspension back in, then off to paint!

I'm big fan of this project. I love to see when something good is made better!
Keep up the good work

Frame/trailing arms/upper and lower control arms are all back from powder coating!!!!!!!!!!

the prop valve for the brakes is mounted to the frame. custom stainless brake lines are tucked along the frame. In these pics, it's only laying in place, it will get fastened to the frame when done.

Stronger balljoints (which the hopping guys use) installed. new urethane bushings for the upper/lower control arms plus urethane body mount bushings.

switches and thangs has blown my mind. very very happy with the outcome thus far.













































more pics within the next week or so!

I was a bit bummed to see a car this legit and rare get heavier modification but at the end of the day its your car and it will be bad ass, can't wait to see more!

ooph <3 love it! My friend has a '64 that's bagged as well. I don't think he's gone as far as the boxed frame though. His dad has a '59 that they just finished putting on bags as well. Just love these cars.

I had my reservations about going this balls deep into the car also....

but with the X-Frames and the speed of the bag setup, there was a really good chance I would endup bending the frame..... Other than the frame, the bags are the only other modification (which can be undone very easily!).

The interior is %100 original currently. We are replacing the front seat covers with IDENTICLE match pieces and foam, new dashpad, and that's it. Basically refreshing just a few pieces of the interior.

Exterior, I bought some replacement emblems and a few trim pieces that were not flawless. nothing crazy, and the paint will remain the same colour.

I want to keep it "OEM+". No crazy flake paint or designs. Clean, simple, refreshed.
