1963 Pro-Touring Impala
12 years after being imprisoned in storage building # 12 I am headed in a new direction with an old project. Was once headed toward the NMCA. Now I'm headed in the pro touring direction. We'll see what happens.

Looks like a nice start. I really like Impala's and I liked Muscle Car's Red Sled build although it was a little too bling for me. Keep us posted and Roll Tide!

More go than show. Originally I had wanted to build a street car that would be competitive in NMCA drag racing. Now, I want to drive it...alot. I also want it to handle and stop. Not really into the whole show thing, but I am going to make it as nice as my budget allows. Most definitely will have a 409 and a 5 speed.

Morrison makes areal user friendly piece. The "new to me" table top has worked out great. Long story behind what/where it came from...suffice it to say it's sweet. Literally. Originally Posted by Dalamar

Even before you said anything - I could tell that was an AME front clip. There's just something about their craftmanship - quite easy to spot. I went with them for the entire kit and kaboodle, and could not be happier with their service, craftmanship, and the entire experience in general.
