Illousion Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009  The Chrome Reverse is a snazzy wheel.  That's right, it looks like the perfect wheel for a sweet project. It's great to see a project like that these days, keep up the great work! Curious, what do you have in mind for the interior resto-work? How awesome to score a sweet 1st car like that, and you've even got help getting it back together! Yeah it helps having a father who loves cars and has a few connections. Won't do THAT much to the interior, will fix a panel next to the pedal, fix the drivers seat, swap the wheel for a stock one, and maybe replace the upper part of the dash. Again, the interior is not as bad as it looks on the pic on page 1.  'Till next time, guys! Dreaming of California, where the sun never sets.

Starion Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Reverse; Â These, but with slim white wall tyres like you already have. That would look as snazzy as f*ck. Â Â mod it with Nitrous Oxide and chassis dyno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pico Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Looking good. I might have missed this, but is it not drivable right now? Or are you just tuning it up a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illousion Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Looking good.I might have missed this, but is it not drivable right now? Or are you just tuning it up a bit? It's very drivable, but we are tuning it ATM. It's no rush, 'cause i can't drive it before November anyway. Dreaming of California, where the sun never sets.

Illousion Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) It's now Saturday, as promised i bring y'all pictures, not of the seats though Stopped by my fathers shop to pick some parts up. The trunk, along with the protector of the car. This pic was taken during a test of the new radiator. Guy who owns the place has a nice 64 Impala. He's had it for like 30 years. Not many pics, i know, but ran out of memory on the camera. 'Till next time Edited April 25, 2009 by Illousion Dreaming of California, where the sun never sets.

Flat Face Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 nice ride dude but.. honestly it's not a 1st car with the original steering wheel.. i think you need to stick the old steering wheel back on cause right now it looks like grandpa just washed his ride.. with the other it looks like timmy just avoided a massive colision.. ya know what i mean? and hmm ya just convinced me to start looking for a car of my very own.. i could almost be on my full liscence by now but lazyness has kept me off my L's for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illousion Posted May 20, 2009 Author Share Posted May 20, 2009 Â nice ride dude but.. honestly it's not a 1st car with the original steering wheel.. i think you need to stick the old steering wheel back on cause right now it looks like grandpa just washed his ride.. with the other it looks like timmy just avoided a massive colision.. ya know what i mean? and hmm ya just convinced me to start looking for a car of my very own.. i could almost be on my full liscence by now but lazyness has kept me off my L's for a while now That old steering wheel sucked my ass. It fitted the car horribly. But i get your point, pal. Â It aint gonna be stock forever, will slightly customize it as time goes by. It's great having your own car, a sense of pride!
