Glad to see it's all going ahead this year. Enjoy the show and maybe we'll see you next year.

Everything about the Impala is lovely. Even the wheels and tires.

Since I can't get one project finished properly - in true car guy form I am going to start another one. This one hopefully more fun and not as complicated. Just ordered (5) 8.00 x 14 Goodyear Super Cushion 1" whitewalls from Rusty to replace the 13 year old radials on the 409. While we are at it we learned that factory full wheel cover cars (which this is) should have semi gloss black and not body color wheels (which it has now) no matter what the body color was - so the wheels will get repainted while they are off. Updates to follow - hopefully no scope creep on this one.

What beautiful car with an awesome history behind it!

The drag racing stories from the muscle car era are priceless.

Phase 1 of Operation Bias Ply was completed today.

Went down and took the wheels off and ran them to the local tire guy and had the tires dismounted. Thanks to Rusty we've got 5 new reproduction bias ply Goodyear 8.00 x 14 - 1" whitewalls ready to go back on.

Brought the wheels back and cleaned them up and blew some black paint on them as they should have been from the factory. Letting the paint cure a bit and will go back down in another week or two to get the new tires mounted.

Had a chance to get a warranty replacement battery taken care of as well and started up the car and let it run a bit.

I don't know, I would've had a hard time painting over the beautiful paint on those wheels.

The end result will be nice..
