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.
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
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.

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.
Working on a car with music in your own big space garage is like relaxing almost to us I think....I mean for me yeah it would haha.
Wow. Just bought one yesterday and will probably start the build this winter. Im sure you probably finished with this one by now. Hopefully went well
Awesome job !!
Time and space constraints are my road blocks . Stuck working
The graveyard shift .
Enjoy the work your doing
Keep pushing. Looking good. I'm 5 years in on mine. Slow progress but it will payoff soon.
right on, keep up the good work, I'm 2 years in on my frame off restoration. Its a fun task. Me 1961 Cadillac.

I would definitely brace a convertible. They will flex a lot more than a hard top.
That's a bad ass garage you have. At first I thought you were in a commercial shop until I saw the house. Was that a custom addition?
Thank you... I actually built it myself. I demolished the original 2 car and replaced it with this monstrosity... 😂.. I love it..
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.
