Hey, this is awesome like the fact that our new generation is taken part in classic car restorations this chevy Impala is sharp BPB Restotations is top notch all the way you got class
Hey, nothing like a new smooth dark metallic blue paint job on that '64 chevy Impala I my self have a '78 Mustangll cobra T-Top. that I want to get my hands on it's great for the millennial generations to get involved in antique car restoration projects BPB classics drive USA.
It Is still an ongoing project, a few changes along the way it is currently out getting ls swapped and ac installed then back to us for final assembly. There has just been tons of delivery and part issues and delays, but we are almost there! So stay tuned!
Okay, I pretty much have a 64 impala SS in the same shape as this one. Its gonna need some work. If you dont mind, can I ask how much your customer was charged for this amount of work? Ballpark even. Thanks
3 overhead , 2 man doors. Got a exhaust fan out currently. Making do til we get things squared away with the new paint booth. You talking about the trim holes?
I use a template I saved from old quarters and fenders, but I do believe you may be able to get templates from online to help you know where to drill, but I generally drill a pilot hole dead center and then a carbide bit on a air tool grinder to get them to size.
I am welding in my rear floor pan section. I have a new appreciation for how much welding you do. How do you fill the relief cuts on the new floor pan section? Some are 1/4 inch wide. My wife asked why people do this if it is so much work. I showed her your video. The end product makes it worth it. Another great video full of useful information, well filmed and edited. Thank you.
Thanks buddy. To fill holes or gaps with a mig welder all you need is a copper pipe or a copper weld backing tool. Have someone hold it for you if you cant reach or hold it up directly to the back of the material you are welding to keep your welding from blowing thru, and mig will not stick to copper, let it cool and then move your copper backer and bam you have welded your holes shut!
Beautiful, I am going to follow much of your technique in restoring my 64. Thanks for sharing!

Good work
Great job! I just watched the entire 1964 series. Would be sweet with a 409 and a 5/6 speed manual transmission.
Thanks
Bro ur videos are so helpful I’m building my 64 impala and I’m new to this I actually have some questions on what I should do to repair my trunk lid
Email me at cbuckner0859@gmail.com
Just watched all the 64 videos. Is that it? I would like to have seen the finished product. Great job👍
That's not it, it is close to being finished
Oh man I was excited to see the final product assembled. This was the last one?
It Is still an ongoing project, a few changes along the way it is currently out getting ls swapped and ac installed then back to us for final assembly. There has just been tons of delivery and part issues and delays, but we are almost there! So stay tuned!
That is very beautiful. Great work.
What color is that, if you don’t mind me asking? Your work is top notch! Awesome videos too.
It's 9086 Medium Blue metallic an original gm truck color from the 90s I believe
Your videos are really helping me build mine! amazing work 👍🏽
How much does a restoration like this go for? As far as body work and frame off
Frame off starts around 20k

Originally around 20k but since has decided to change things and go ls swap so its punching 30k currently
That’s quite a fog in the shop! Do you just have the one door at your shop? Also what do you use for the holes in the quarters and fenders?

@@bpbrestorations2093 yes the trim holes that hold the stainless pieces, I have new quarters and fenders doors are original

@@bpbrestorations2093 I didn’t realize that there’s a possibility of getting a template available, thanks for the tip!
Dam I want to take you my car for body work 😉

Looking great
How do you feel about acid dipping, and do you recommend any form of taking it down to bare metal.
Dustless blasting if possible
If it's old lacquer paint you have to strip it otherwise, there is really no need to completely go to bare metal.
Awesome job 😁👍
