I have been gathering parts for a wore out car I picked up years ago. I've had it stored waiting until all the parts are together. This is actually the first car I started out to build when life and other cars got in the way.
The primary reason is this will be a clone of what I ran in the mid-1960's. It was a black 61 Impala SS 409, originally a 348 and I put the 409 in. You know we always want the car we remember/enjoyed the most.
This car had the usual rust, so we had to cut and paste as stuff fell off! Floor pans were really what was needed. It is a Baltimore built car, with trim tag build the last week of production before the 62's begin. Will tell you why this is interesting later.
While collecting 61 parts, moldings, grille, etc I stumbled onto some stuff very interesting. Now, I have to say a great thank you to lots of guys here. It began with Cecil, he had found a 2x4 881 intake, however it was not an 881 casting. I bought it from him,
