65 Impala – Junkyard to Showroom Project

This restoration project was saved from a local classic salvage operation. Since then the car has been completely disassembled and media blasted. From there, extensive rust repair was preformed. which included complete floor pans, trunk pan. outer wheel houses, quarter panels, cowl repair, as well as other miscellaneous areas. The frame was also media blasted sealed and painted. All components on the frame were either replaced or rebuilt. as the car sits right now the body is remounted on the frame, the underside of the car is painted, we have begun on the fitment of the doors and trunk as well as sanding the body in preparation to paint. updates coming soon.

Project is moving along all body work is complete , doors were gapped to car as well as trunk lid , car is currently being block sanded and prepped for paint and final assembly.
