This is the first of many videos that I made documenting the restoration of my 1963 Impala SS. Here we get as far as pulling the car in after sitting since 2008, getting it running, and stripping the car down to the frame and powertrain.

This is my Blade Chroma with the new Rakon Heli upgrade kit. All Carbon fiber and aluminum. Good design for the most part but a few flaws with this kit. This is a quick review of both, the Blade Chroma 4K and the Rakon Heli upgrade kit.

    Hey brother, good work on the 63.. Got a question, I got a 63 convertible Impala and I was wondering if it was ok to separate the body from the frame without welding some structure braces in the interior box. I see some ppl do it and some not. I am not putting it on a rotisserie, just want to get to the underbody to spray it with Rino and weld stress points on the frame. Basically just raise the body enough to work and then roll the frame back under when I'm ready to rejoin the two.

    • @ricoflo

      I would definitely brace a convertible. They will flex a lot more than a hard top.

    Hey Rick, I am restoring a '63 as well. (Not an SS). I was wondering if you had pictures of how the gas line runs in the area of the front A-Arm? It runs under it, that I know but I'm looking for the fastener and clip locations. Did you happen to take any pictures of the gas line in this area? Also, are you in the great state of Wyoming? I saw a license on a Jeep in your first vid that was Wyo. I'm in CO and get to Cheyenne on a regular basis. Hope you got over your health issues.

    Too much time and money doing your own restoration. I pick up a 64 ss black on red high optioned that has even has power vent windows. Has 327 with ac, power seats, windows, tilt, cruise and vacuum power trunk.. i paid 27k from a second owner in Alabama with maintenance records through out its entire life. Its now at my place in sunny southern California.. but I've seen 63 ss impala's for no more than 25k in our southern states. People need to stop paying those rip off prices at Barrett Jackson etc.

    The 327 250 hp was the base motor in the SS. Did you mean 327? Nice build btw. I have a 63 Sport coupe hard top with the 327 300hp glide combo.

    • @ricoflo
      @ricoflo 6 років тому

      I was told that it was a 327, then I found out that the car was available with a optional 283. Major disappointment....... But I'm OK with, that because the numbers all match. The casting number show that is a 283....unfortunately

    • @chadburchett5318
      @chadburchett5318 6 років тому

      That's crazy, but the numbers match and it should be a lower production car because of the odd combo. My grandfather ordered mine with the 300 hp motor.

      Its actually a lot cheaper, my local chrome shop quoted me $478.00 to chrome 1 control arm. I was able to get the differential housing, lower trailing arms, all 4 backing plates, upper and lower control arms, spindles, steering arms, sway bar, hood and door hinges, and motor mounts chromed for $2280.00. I don't know that I would of went out of the way just for the price but my retired father came to help me out when I got sick, I was able to sent them with him without being an inconvenience to him. He then returned a couple of months later to for some business and was able to bring them to me. It just worked out....

    @ricoflo 7 років тому

    Joe, just a heads up, they recommend calibrating the gps when ever you change geographic locations but I have been calibrating mine every time I take mine out, even if I'm still in the location and its seems to fly flawlessly. small price to pay to avoid it from flying away for no apparent reason.

    They had me send in my controller, and found nothing wrong with it. At that point they offered me a 50% discount on a new one. .. That went swell. ...After me blowing a gasket, they agreed on getting me a refurbished unit as a replacement. is been a month since then and nothing, yesterday they contacted me and decided to send me a brand new unit because of the time frame. They stepped up and did the right thing finally, but I'm out a couple hundred bucks for the rakon kit.. It is what it is I guess. ..

    Yes sir it did indeed fly away. ..... so far I've sent the remote back to horizon hobby and they've verified that nothing is wrong with the controller. So far they are wanting to offer me a new one at half price and I let them know I think that its B.S. They should be replacing it free of charge being how it is still under warranty. Robert, the HH Rep I've been talking to concerning my case says he's gonna get back to me once he speaks to his manager. I expect to hear from him tomorrow or the next day.

      +Kyle Ortega , since I wasn't able to recover my chroma, they weren't able to come to a conclusion on what caused it. I sent the remote in and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They think it might have lost the gps signal, I disagree. I neversaw that on the remote. so it's inconclusive at this point.
