The color is from a Toyota. LOLWow...So Sweet so far.I love the color. Are you keeping the V6 and is there going to be any more chrome?? Please use the body side moulding to protect that awesome paint job. I also love all Lowriders because they are into Doo Wop which is my 2nd love after cool cars.

Keeping the V6. Not much more chrome to be added.
I have not put much trim on yet but it will be going on. This was the base model so it did not come with chrome rockers. I will be having it pinstriped and silver leafed soon. Then I will start on my IMPALA.

Nice Elco.I like the 80's models best with the Malibu front in.This was my baby from 1996 until we moved to Texas in 2005. She's a '65 El Camino with a 426hp 350 bored to 357 (.040 over), camel hump fuelie heads, 1.94/1.50 valves, 288°/298° cam, Pete Jackson straight-cut gear drive, 600cfm Edelbrock, etc., etc. In addition to transportation problems, I didn't think it would be practical to drive on these awful Texas roads, given that the header collectors sat 2" off the pavement! We got down to the wire and had to sell it to my wife's cousin for $6k!!

I would ask whether it is the V-6 or the V-8, but both are twice as fast as anything I have ever owned.
Somebody gave me some advice once that I took. Don't ever by a powerful car if you don't want to buy one the rest of your life as they can be addictive. I have never had a powerful or fast car. I would sure take a Camaro with the beast of a V-6 (3.6L direct injection I think) Could be my current Chevy truck is the fasting thing I have ever owned. 5.3L Half as fast as the new Camaro V-6 of course.
I will be looking for this ride on the streets of Panther Town... (As it is a 2013 I can probably smell the new before I see it.) You are going to have fun.

i actually long to experience that. todays world kinda sucks. i dont have a long road to cruise, even though i am new, i find myself going through camp bowie or preston in dallas. i like the expensive houses.
now we go to a park and ride and hang out, i get to see sorry spoiled brats driving around in nissan gt-r's (90k+ sports car) and bragging about cars they used their parents money to build.
i have had 2 "muscle" cars in my younger years. a 83 camaro and a 87 firebird formula. not really muscle, especially with the weak 305. right now i drive a mitsubishi evo, which is a very fun and fast pocket rocket. im actually more into the imports but i can respect an "american" sports/muscle car.
maybe one day we can organize a old school-modern "school" (i guess??) cruise. i think it would be good to exchange stories. you guys are so blessed to have lived in such a great time

On that note every other Sunday at 7pm is cruise-in night at Pizza Inn on Hulen St. A call out to the hot rod community is being made for folks with pre-65 classic cars to show off their chrome. Attendees with pre-65s qualify for the "Hot Rod Special" - a buffet and drink for $5.99. The parking lot we use is in the back with great lighting. Bring your stories.
The manager at Pizza Inn is Jacob and James. Please thank them for supporting the classic car community.

Getting there my friend...I'm so fricking jealous. How many cars do you have in the works?? In 1963, I had a chance to trade even for a 62 solid red Impala S/S 409 for my 56 Bel Air because we both were in the Air Force and he was getting married and couldn't afford it anymore, but he changed his mind when he got shipped to Germany and sent the car to his home in Alabama. I was so upset.http://images.gtcarl...es/32423319.jpg

Been a while since I've been here. Lotsa changes in my life.
Hey FWlowrider, did Skim ever get his 61 Impala finished?
#91
Posted 23 July 2013 - 12:36 PM
No he did not. He ended up picking up a 60rag. He still has the 61 but it is not done. He changed the color as well. Its now black.

No, sorry. The BelAir is my old age (I'm there) restoration project (not there yet).
I've had it since 1974. My Mom helped me tow it home (with a chain!) using her Torino. It had no engine, transmission or third member in it. Took several years to come up with a 409 and a 4 speed to put into it. My wife (sittin' on the trunk) helped me drop it into the car. Sadly, life and family took it's toll and my baby needs full restoration. And since nobody will submit it the Chip or anyone, so......
