    Shawn, you and I are the same age and I think that we think that this genre of cars are the bees knees! Such a great build! No LS, no weird new trans, no electronic anything, so cool!

    I really like that '63 Impala. It gives off the vibes of " Speak softly, yet carry a big stick" . Very smooth lines, super clean all over inside out, and a strong 350 with healthy vocal cords. Great job and a well done video.

    Can definitely dig this Impala. I have a 64 and 66 and 71 Impalas haven't done a thing to them all was passed down to me needs very little work. The 64 belonged to my great aunt we barely drove it got it in 65 had since. The other Impalas belonged to my father gave them to me before he passed away.

      The steering is great. I got rid of the original steering intermediate shaft and rag joint, and installed a CPP 500 series steering box with a telescoping double D intermediate shaft and u-joints. This removed almost all the play in the steering. This setup should work perfectly on a 65’
      The transmission is a 200R4 stage 2 built by Bowtie Overdrives in Hesperia, CA. It’s a great trans with a 2600 stall lockup converter. This is a great swap if you have a TH350. All you need to do is replace the trans cross member. The driveshaft will not need to be messed with.
