Default Speed Inc. 1959 Impala looks amazing

I ran some errands yesterday and managed to stop by Speed Inc... Have been too busy to get out that way for quite a while.

The Impala looks amazing. Usually when I see restored cars they look pretty nice, but this car is on the very high end of the scale. The paintwork was awesome. When you see a black car that's 800 feet long, and the paint looks good, it kind of blows you away. The engine compartment also gave me a chubby.

I have to get more pictures up. The car runs now, just waiting for an intercooler really. The inner fenders are on along with the core support.
