    a buddy just turned me on to your build. Really digging the 64 Impala. My dad had a 63 Wagon back in the day. Spent many a hours laying in the back looking up at the headliner that had little stars in it as I remember. All those trips from the cape to Gramma and Grampa's in N.H.

      Awesome! I am really loving bringing this car back to life. Thank you for watching and stay tuned, I’ve got a LOT more work ahead! Next up you’ll see all the work I’ve had to do to the rear frame!

    Cool tool for the air hammer. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to pick one up. Wish I had it when I removed the door latch on my 72 Camaro.

      Yeah, the air hammer is one of the greatest tools for sure, and it just gets ever better when companies make awesome attachments for them! Thanks a bunch for watching! I appreciate it!

    There's a lot of subtle differences between the trim lines that are available. My 62 Impala wagon has those flat door handles. The lesser model has more traditional handles. Just as a side note my 62 Impala has electric windows factory. The tint on the glass differs from car to car even if they're both Impalas. No explanation.

      Great info! It would be really cool to have a database of this info somewhere so restorers could reference it… hmmm.

      @@projectcarrescue it would be really cool to have a database wouldn't it? These cars are old and I was young but it's what I grew up with. And having a couple of them in the barn for quick reference helps. Of course sometime car clubs can be a good reference. If you are going to paint your car is kind of surprised you put that trim on but it can always be mask off. Here's a few sources. John's Auto Salvage Texas. There's a couple places around Tennessee and Kentucky. And a couple of them out in the Southwest. I think it's Dan's Auto salvage in Arizona. And these people specialize in vintage vehicles. There's Joe and he owns the rust Ranch outside of Wichita Kansas. Now if any of these interests you, you can probably find them just with simple Google search. I give you Joe's phone number. Although I don't remember seeing station wagons out of his place six months ago when I was there. But him and I both had limited time and he has over 500 cars. Plus the ones that he don't part out. I'll have to think about the ones in Kentucky and Tennessee they normally experience more rust out that away. Of course there's a couple of places up by the Canadian lines Michigan Minnesota. And then far and few in between but you can find them out there and North and South Dakota and Nebraska. I believe the best untapped place is the northwestern United States on the plateau this side of the Rockies. Now I'm not personally been to that part of the country. I've had a lot of fun finding these places and going to these places and extinguishing contacts all over the country. Now I'm just giving away the secrets I guess you might say. Now there is one place that's really interesting. But it has so much rust. Craigslist Springfield Missouri. He's always advertising an old car and he must have a few hundred say about 800. No I've not been to that one or two next one I'm going to tell you about either. But Lamar Missouri Craigslist the man has 1700 cars. A lot of them are vintage. But the interstate 49 corridor has a ton of old cars but they are so rusted. Normally anyway. There's a man in Adrian mo. I had heard about him for decades. I swung by his place here just a few months ago maybe last Summer. He knows what he has a prices accordingly but you get the quality that you pay for don't pay for. I think it wasn't too far off the path I've headed to pick up another car I think it was a 68 Cutlass on that trip. You know I've never really met anybody who made a lot of money when they messed with these old cars Just spent a lot of money 🤑. If any of that helps you. What I would suggest is going online and taking screenshots. You can even have them printed out if you like. 1964 Impala station wagon. Then choose a match at the top. That away you can blow up to screenshots. And see the difference is between the Impala Brookwood Parkwood Bellaire and so forth. I'm not sure if N64 they still had the Brookwood in Parkwood. I had a 59 sold it a number of years ago. I still have a 61. They're both wagons. Anyway 1 wasn't Brookwood and 1 was a Parkwood and I just don't remember which. I do know where there's some four doors at. I also have a two-door hardtop 64 frame and tub. If you're interested in a deep project Ducati make a match set. Okay I'll leave it at that.

    GM used brass door bushings, they're inexpensive, Eastwood used to carry them.

    For the door handles, could be because the doors came from a biscayne or bel air indeed or maybe off a 63?

    • @AMB1800
      @AMB1800 Год назад +1

      Ok just saw the rest of the video haha is indeed from a lower trim level (biscayne or bel air) and your original doors had the factory tinted windows too indeed 👌🏼

    • @projectcarrescue
      @projectcarrescue  Год назад +1

      Yes! I hadn’t considered that they could also be from a 63 though! That’s an interesting thought!

    Soak the latches in a bucket of vinegar a few days checking each day

    Those may be 63 Bel-Air doors.

      That’s very possible, and something I didn’t even consider! Good call.
