Impressive 61 Impala ressurection!
Don't know if any of you guys have seen this (Verne probably has!
 ) but its cool as hell...Currently 15 pages long, so you'll need to have some time to kill. Be sure to start on page 1 and sift through all of it... amazing work this guy is doing to bring a 61 ragtop Impala back to life, and great pics and commentary to go along with it. 61 Impala Restoration

Re: Impressive 61 Impala ressurection!
Only thing I can 'say' is....
 I only got to page two and I was tired just thinking about all the work! This guy is redefining the term 'labor of love'  If he were to charge himself $10/hr for his time, he'll have a quarter million in this car when its done. And from what I can tell (I didn't go to the end yet) it's gonna be a lowrider when its all done

Re: Impressive 61 Impala ressurection!
I stumbled across the link to that thread while surfing the Jalopy Journal/HAMB board...I actually AM a closet hotrodder.
 That dude has some skills eh?  Personally, if I WAS a closet Impala lover I'd be fixing up that red 61 bubbletop he bought and re-sold to finance the ragtop project.

Re: Impressive 61 Impala ressurection!
I did see it Joe. It truly is a labor of love. Much more work than 99% of the people in the hobby would be willing to put into a car.
