    63 impala 4 door hard top

    where are you finding them that cheap? everywhere I looked they were pushing 300 almost 400 with fittings. plus I have a bunch of the stuff for manual stuff already. I think bags on that thing are more of a pipe dream... I got the front end finished up today and took it out for a test drive...

    Small update, getting the front back together had been a pain in the rear.... Between fighting stuff and people pulling me off of it. Anyway, drivers side suspension is back mostly together, couldn't get the ball joints to break out of the spindles no matter how I tried... Did everything I know...

    27 model T build

    and yes torchie, the plan is to eventually chop it a few inches, nothing extreme, just enough to kinda bring it down into proportion with the rest of the body, I always thought the roof line on these were way to tall.... but that's definitely not a priority right now...

    27 model T build

    ive thought about the width issue, which I planned on putting it behind the body to see how it all ends up looking, my only issue is having different bolt patterns front to rear, I did find a big lug pattern brake kit from speedway for the front, but it seemed like it said I was limited on...

    63 impala 4 door hard top

    haha oh I know, I think the ride of air bags would be really nice, plus I could lay it low whenever, but I can already see the hassle of the the manual setup haha.

    27 model T build

    Oh for sure! I have found a bunch of the sheet metal parts. I was kinda thinking about with the traverse spring with a version of split wishbone/4 bar suspension setup. I never thought about adapters for the wheels, that would be a quick solution for a while. Smallfoot: your truck definitely...

    63 impala 4 door hard top

    I was shocked even with a worn out suspension it was super smooth. I have been on the fence with putting a manual air ride setup on it. Just not sure if I wanna deal with it...

    27 model T build

    the biggest problem is really the whole bottom part of the door is gone... if it was just dented up, id just beat it out or leave it for what that's worth, but theres nothing at the bottom... I figured at that rate trying to find a 28-29 model a pickup door might be easier.. but that's proved to...
