I'll second that! Those 58's just screamed STYLE and this one is no exception!

I also think that white has to be the best color for the 58-65 full size Chevy's. I can almost see "Toad" from American Grafitti behind the wheel. LOL :D

Well 36master,
SCHWEEEET!!!!!! You sure have one nice '58 !!
Do yourself a favor though, If you drive this car, make the disk brake conversion, and get away from those old ball bearings hubs. You wont regret it.

I did a disk brake conversion on my '65 and will NEVER go back to drums. Nothing worse than going downhill in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a heavy 409 and then, all of a sudden, you experience brake fade.... It'll make an athiest turn Christian quick, let me tell you!!!!!!!! Dont get the wrong idea though, Ive always been Christian.....

Rockfish ;)

Hey Master that is a nice looking Impala. I too just bought a '58 Impala, black with a small block and powerglide. I'll be pulling the engine and transmission out and will replace it with a 350 crate and 700r4. But while the engine and tranny are out, it'll go to the paint shop for a Rio red paint job. I'll also have the bright work buffed out and replace all the glass. When I get the car back is when I'll put disc and 605 steering. Being that I already have airbags from another project it may go on the Impala ;) . I'll post a pic of it later.

Hey Tripower
Love the car......friend of mine in 68 raced a similar 58 with a 283 2x4 in H/SA. The car was green, he called it 'Jolly Green Giant'

It is an old friend and I have held about all the pieces in my hands at one time or another. Also DQ if I used Grecian Formula my scalp would be dark, I don't have enough hair left to dye. It grows everywhere on my body but on my head, out of my ears, nose and back. I thought I might be able to do a combover out of my ears.:D Roy
