A few outdoor pictures with the rocker molding installed.

Update on the rocker molding installation. I decided it was a little bit above my talent level so I took it to restoration shop that originally did my car. He agreed that the clips supplied were junk. He decided to drill holes in the moldings and mount them with stainless steel screws and...

Thanks for looking, I think I have it figured out. I have attached the instruction sheet that came with and a picture of the clips. I think the metal clip with the nut would go near the back wheel where you can drill through and fasten, The sheet metal screw would go near the front wheel...

I just purchase and received a set of stainless steel rocker molding for my 1960 Chevy Impala. They came with a bag of parts with very little instructions for installations. Has anyone installed a set of these? Are there any tricks to install?

I just bought this Thermometer from Summit, can you spot the error?

The poll came in about 50-50 so I thought it was time to get rid of the rug and install a vinyl parcel tray. I will admit it looks better!!!

Gotta love the 60 Impalas.

Below is a note on the installation instructions about the needle location. This should clear up any questions. Note: This tachometer has an air core meter. The tach pointer may not always rest at zero. This is normal. When engine is started, pointer will position on the correct RPM.

Yes, that is the exact one I used, I guess it is 2 1/16". The hardest part of the installation was getting my arm up under the dash to remove the nut holding the gauge cluster on. Other that that it was pretty simple. Good Luck.

I haven't been on for a while but I just installed a tach in my 1960 Impala Dash. Bought 2 1/8" Auto Meter Tach from Speedway, very easy installation. I think it blends in pretty well with the rest of the gauges.

Attached are some pictures of the headliner on my Impala, might help?

When I took my 60 Impala out this spring it made an odd noise. Started good but when I revved it up it made a funny noise. I don't have a tach but I would say between 2000 - 2500 rpm is where it started. I drove it down to the shop that did the work and of course then it didn't make the...

What is the largest file that can be posted? I have written a story on my 60 Impala and would like to post it. I made it a PDF and the size is 887KB, when I try to post it I get an error message. I there a way I can post it?

I eventually gave up on the Unisteer rack & pinion, just couldn't solve the bump steer issue. Went with a 500 steering box with the conventional steering system, works great. The only problem I had was an interference with the steering box and the power steering pump pulley. Made a smaller...

Carmine, here's a few pictures for you.
