Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
Man, that turned out great!
You've got a ton of patience to spend that kinda time on it, but it sure is worth it. |

Finally got phase 1 of the grill done. Got all the paint off with the steel wool. This basically how its going to look. I will but some mag polish on it by hand before I hang it back on the car, but until then, here it is. I have quite a bit to do before its ready to go again. My fingers are sore and bruised from all the sanding!

Yeah, I think that's an improvement for sure. One of those things that took a ridiculous amount of time to complete, and almost nobody will notice...but you'll know you did it;)

I am going to try to "restore" that stainless window trim that you can see behind the grill in the last pic. Its not in terrible shape, but not perfect. I have a nice book, and some tools especially for this.
I figure with new paint, any imperfections in any of the chrome or stainless trim will really stand out. |

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
Well, since I will be repainting the entire car, I figured I would replace the pass side quarter panel. It is a bit wavy and the PO covered it up with bondo. With the new sheetmetal up front, the recently replaced driver side quarter, and now this, It should be pretty straight. Looking forward to doing some sanding and getting dirty, in an effort to be driving her this spring!!!!

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
Not being able to drive my car is the hardest part about all of this! I have to settle for looking at pictures until I can drive it again! This is one of my favorite pics of my car from last summer, a few weeks prior to hitting the deer :-/

That brings tears to my eyes. I had a burgundy '65ss,in 1969.My mom used it to take my sis to work,and it came back on a wrecker.She got sideswiped by an 18-wheeler.The frame and body were so messed up,it couldn't be fixed.

Re: My other passion...65' Impala SS
I just bought a new rear quarter (the side that I didn't already replace) and will be putting that on here soon. With that, all my metal will be real solid!
