Nice looking Impala. I think it looks better with the grille not blacked out though, kind of looks like its missing. What part of missouri are you in?

I love it! My first hotrod that I built myself was 1968 Impala fastback like that. Originally a 307/powerglide car. Built a 377 stroker with a Weiand 177 blower after my first deployment. I never should have sold it. I didn't realize how hard they are to find. Try finding one without 13" wheels and hydros in the Southwest, lol. I want to do another one with an aluminum 5.3 and a single PT7675.

Thanks guys I'll be getting some pics going very soon it's a great car I drive it everywhere the air even works! just the little 327 is just not enough original paint car and one owner bought off old man 10 years ago gonna be a fun project.

Ls1nova71 I'm in Warsaw Mo. And I plastidipped grill so I can take it off looks much better in person

I have nearly everything planned our but the fuel system my car seems to be the only impala tanks inc. does not make a efi tank for. So looks like I'll be running a external pump with corvette regulator.
