We lifted our 61 last year with a 2post auto lifter 9000. We used 4x4's on each side and lifted it on the floor board/seat braces. We utilized stands in the rear to help support the car as it is rear heavy on an offset lift.

No plans on doing the faceplate change as I would assume it would need to be recalibrated for the 7K faceplate.

Tachometer My dad picked up a new Sunpro retro tach (FZ88R) for the 61 and I got it installed today. Since the Ididit column was pushed as far forward as possible for a comfortable driving position I was worried that it wouldn't fit where I wanted it. The fit/finish came out great. I am still...

Rear sway bar/Frame ? Brian, I was looking though the pictures of the rear sway bar mounting points and have a question. The frame shown in this thread is boxed right after the wheel then is an open C channel to the bumper section. My frame is all boxed except the rear tail section (it...

Has anyone installed the front 1 1/4" and rear 1" swaybars on there 61-64 full size. I would like to get opinions before making a decision. Currently I have a 61 impala with the stock front swaybar and would like to cut down on some of the body roll. Did the front only make a big...

Ididit Its a nice column, I put one in our car 61 Impala and used the stock steering wheel. You won't need the adapter piece (machined aluminum ring) with the stock steering wheel. You will need to drill a new hole at the 10:30/11:00 position for the turn signal cam, Other than that it is a...

Steering Column Kerrbss, The steering column is from Ididit... tilt, flashers. Its really convenient to tilt the original wheel out of the way getting into the car. Jason

Thanks guys for the reply. I'm going to see if I can come up with an O-ring based on your input. I tried a 2 3/4" OD X 3/32" yesterday that I had laying around from another project and couldn't get the axle back in (the o-ring was preventing it from going all the way in , too thick)...

Interior We installed the rear seat, front kick panels, front seat belts and front seat trim over the weekend. We took it out for a ride this afternoon and were pleasantly surprised how well the sound deadener quieted the inside of the car down. Next on the agenda is to schedule a...

Carpet installed I worked on installing the carpet over the weekend. The carpet kit was from ACC. There was a few areas that I used the heat gun to stretch it out. I had to trim alittle from each side. All in all I'm very pleased with the results. My dad an I worked on Sunday getting the front...

armrests Worked on wrapping the armrests today and screwed the bottom of the door panel to the door.

Interior I started working on the interior over the weekend . I tackled the front door panels first. We purchased a full kit from CARS the end of 2008. While looking over the backing board I noticed it had 1962 on them and didn't have the perferated cutouts for the plastic reflectors this car...

Muncie 4spd I just made this swap. I replaced my T-10 with a Muncie M-20. THe only thing that needed to be changed was the shifter linkage. Everything else bolting right up. You will need to utilize a muncie with the correct input/output shaft or the clutch/driveshaft might need to be changed...

more progress I installed the ensolite (closed cell foam) in the back seat area. I then turned my attention to finishing up the dash. I purchased a new replacement speaker from http://www.turnswitch.com. I reinstalled the factory AM radio and fired it up. Everything works as it should. I...
