I know the feeling. I'm spoiled as I took my '60 Impala front seat only and had it back in a week. Ciadella is only 30 minutes away from me :-)

This was some excellent discussion and certainly assisted me with the future direction of my Impala. T350 is my new direction.

With everything looking so clean an squared away I couldn't help but notice the blemish in the passenger side valve cover. That blemish is very easy to remove. Within 15 minutes you could have it perfect again using nothing more than a hammer, punch, fine file and sandpaper (80 grit, 180...

Thank you Jim. I found them on page 28.

Before I tool up and make the valve cover brackets that hold the 4 spark plug wires to the back of the valve cover, I wanted to check in to see if anyone on here makes/sells or has a link for this bracket. The provided link is just for illustration purposes. It shouldn't be too hard to...

Great story. I hope you find that SOB!!!

That looks sturdy enough. I'm interested in one of those toys too. Name or link for this item? Thank you. Chuck

I just purchased my first 1960 Impala that has 4 original hubcaps in the trunk. I'm a fan of the old school so I'll be on the hunt for some 14 inch rims.

I'll finish with a couple of 2016 action shots. February 2016 I was looking for a reason to do a quick roadtrip so I took her to Bartlett Lake just northeast of Phoenix. April 5, 2016 I drove her to New Mexico for the annual opening of the Trinity site. I stopped over in Holbrook for a photo...

Sir, my next project for my 1958 Impala coupe will be another 348 as well. I'm looking to purchase another 4bbl intake manifold that is not cracked. Recently I bought one off eBay that revealed a crack below the carburetor (after I had it dipped and blasted). I don't fault the seller as he...

And here are a few pics of my modifications. Here is what she looked like when I purchased her in 2015 And here is my final product. Awaiting the air cleaner decal to finish it off.

per Jim Sullivan's request, here are some pics. The transmission came out in under 15 minutes. The block stamping proved to me one of the previous owners upgraded to a tri power. My first time inside of the bowels of any transmission revealed the slider gear and the counter gear were badly...
