- This is a video of the frame off restoration of my 63 impala. The frame has been taken completely apart, sand blasted, primered, and then painted. I have installed new upper and lower a-arm bushings and ball joints. New front and rear coils and shocks as well as all new stainless steel brake and fuel lines.. I installed a front power disc brake kit from a company called MBM. The engine is a rebuilt chevy 350 and the tranny is a rebuilt chevy turbo 350. I still have a couple of things to do in order for the frame to be finished and ready to set the body on it..
I’ve watched your video numerous times. Thank you for the video. It’s helped me in laying out different things on my 63 impala frame.
Thanks for the video bro. I'm assembling my frame right now and the video is helping a lot.
Thanks my 63 wagon has been blown apart for 2yrs now ive forgot where a few bolts went. This helped!
Thanks David, you're right it takes a lot of time, money, and hard work... And patience... I haven't been able to touch my car in months cause I've been busy with other projects around the house. Just got the fenders and core support sandblasted and primered a few weeks ago. Hoping to start putting those on as soon as I get some time.
good work dude!! this is truly an inspiration to me as my dad just gave me his 62 SS ragtop...its a complete bucket at the moment - but i figure its the perfect opportunity to do a frame off restore on it...just like you did, take the body off and start form scratch...cant wait to get crackin on it
Thanks for the helpful video. It really helped me as I'm installing fuel lines and brake lines. Frame looks really great!
good work bro jus picked up a 64 and this is the motivation i need
Looks really good so far. Im doing a frame off on a 65 convertible right now so i know how much money, time and hard work it takes. your doing a really good job keep it up
All projects take commitment time and money but you save on labour and learn so much along the way.
I have a 63 impala project in mind but i just have to make sure there are vin number tags.
So i can check and verify its all legit before purchasing to resgister the vehicle after restoration.
Great Video what a 63 impala you’re ago
Looking good. Looking forward to the rest of the build
Not finished with the restoration yet, so far i've completed the chassis and almost done with the sheetmetal work on the body... Should be transferring the body to this frame pretty soon...
Thanks, glad you like it.. Good luck with your 64..
Love it man. Nice
@hotrodrdz Thanks. The engine is a sbc 350 out of a 70 to 73 chevy camaro.
@TheMichaelrichard So far i have 75 hours into the frame as it sits....That includes disassembling the rolling chassis,taking it to get sandblasted,spraying it,reassembling it with all new suspension parts,fuel lines,brake lines, and bolting down the engine and tranny...
Very nice man did you buy all new arms and everything ? Do you have videos of you removing the shell from the frame
No problem ImpalaDaniel i'm glad the video was useful to you...
Nice work sir, Salute!
@DeathByGravityBlast Thanks for the comment i'm glad you like the video...
Travail magnifique 👍
Disc brakes all around is better.. I plan to swap the rear out also once I have the car on the road.
NICE WORK, I WAS WONDERING HOW MUCH DID IT COST YOU TO RESTORE THE FRAME WITH THE SUSPENSION?
Very Nice
Thanks..
about how much did it cost to get the frame done. i have a 1963 impala and the frame i have is in good shape but i want to get a modern frame on it. thanx
Did you get to finish the car ?
Hello can you tell me what your drive line shaft measurement was cut at, I have a 63 with turbo 350 short shaft
Do you remember how much you invested in this restoration?
is there a space between the disc brake bracket and the spindle in the back? My kit says to use a thick space they have supplied in the front hole to the steering arm but i have a gap in the back where the bracket is between the spindle and steering arm. Its for a 64 impala. Thanks
how many hours do you have into the frame restore.....?
@kdotro Frame took about 3 months working on it on my spare time.
are you still running the original powerglide transmission?
wow!!! i took my '61 front end apart like 4 years ago,bought all new stuff like you and am ready to put back together,,your video is gonna be such a HUGE help,i got the same,p.s. disc brake,new ball joints,bushings,idler arm,check my video out if ya got time thanks
can you tell me the color of that black that you use for the chassis frame and suspension I would really appreciate it
hi my name's Paul what color did you use for the black chassis frame and suspension thanks again
Depends if you're gonna do it yourself or pay someone to do it. I've saved thousands of dollars by doing it all myself.
Thanks, not too familiar with tubular kits to be honest with you..
is it done
@reydehonduras No guide..
