Very nice!

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Thanks!

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Looks good. What wheels are you planning on?

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

American Racing torque thrust 2's... 20's in the rear and 18's in the front.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

I want to do that to my 40 also. But I don't think I'll be able to get wheels that big on it yet.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Yea, I know 20's will fit on mine for sure. I am also going to do a 2" drop spindle in the front, with a disc brake conversion.
Should give me the stance I want.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Nice car. I think 65's are my favorite. I really like the look from the rear on those cars. Personally I like em with the Cragars or the Corvette style rally's. Thats probably because thats what they ran on em in the 70's in my HS days.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Yea, the Cragars I have on it now look nice... I am just looking for a more modern look...

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS

Very cool!

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Here is one...

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

That looks good! Only thing I'd change, is ditch that flex fan! :lol:

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

haha...why no flex fan?

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Because they suck. :lol: They are notorious for tossing blades, and they aren't as efficient as a clutch type fan. Plus they are always on, engaged.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

:lol: Oh, good call. I got it because it is about 30 lbs lighter than the 4 blade hunk of metal that was there before. If it throws a blade anytime soon, I will put a fan with a clutch on there.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

careful, if it throws a blade it can damage your hood.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Does that happen often? I have never heard that it was even an issue worth considering...

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Don't rev it high or blip the throttle and stick it again. :lol: Been there, ruined a few hoods.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

I like the old 65-66 Impala SS's as well as some of the earlier and later years. I don't think you can go wrong with one no matter the year...

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

haha, I will remember that... It is only going to see around town driving, so I am not too worried that that will happen. I guess if it does, it would be a good reason for a clutch fan and a cowl hood:lol:

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

My wheels just arrived...I have disc brakes/2" dropped spindles in the mail as we speak (going to lower the rear with springs as well).
What do you think?

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

You just had to post that didn't you??????????????????????































It looks awesome! Now I have to figure out what to sell so I can get me some! (Pray for a good tax return! :lol:)

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

Thanks Diesel! Its nice to see my vision coming to life. I think the disc brake/dropped spindle and rear lowering springs will give it exactly the stance that I am looking for.

I appreciate it!

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
 

That looks sweet! I don't think I could touch it....looks great like it sits now.
