I've been working on restoring a 1962 Impala since October of 2009. I figured I'd start a thread to show the progress from the start of the build up until its completion. I'm going to start posting the pictures of the progress over the last year slowly until I get caught up to where I am today with it.
Just a little back ground on the car: it is an original white with red interior V8 car with A/C. Originally built in California and it appears to have spent its life in Phoenix, AZ as the outline of a sticker that had been on it from a dealer listed that as its location . The car is extremely clean; the sheet metal won't require any patches with the exception of the front fenders. The car currently has a 283 in it; though it is not the original engine. I'm going to use that engine for now until I can afford to swap it out for a 409 down the road.
The pictures below are right after delivery to my house.
