This car is nowhere near finished and I want everyone to reserve judgment until its done.
I bought the '67 for $5000 back when I was in high school and it was my ever-faithful daily driver for a number of years.
When I decided to move to Drwin I got myself the Camaro (Droopz90IROC) and retired the Impala in my parent's shed. A few years ago my father and i decided to begin a full restoration on it as I couldn't bring myself to sell it.
Now this profile is just going to act as a 'work in progress' style report. As more recent pictures become available i'll post them up but for now they are all just old pics from when the car was my daily driver.

Yeah... the 350 bearly fills the engine bay, but for what we're building, a 454 would be expensive and impractical.

| Yep, the initial expense is there but LPG conversion may help the practicality :-) |

Yeah... we looked at gas for a while but decided against it based on two points.
1. We had SO many problems with the LPG system on dads ute we tore it off.
2. Need the space in the trunk for MASSIVE I.C.E

I think it's a fantastic motor! It's got a bit of class about it...
