What was the inspiration?
I wanted to do something that is uniquely done. Not many people who build 58 Impalas usually hop them and knowing where this car started I figured, why not. Go big and do something no one would expect. #trendsetter
How long did it take you to build?
I had the car for a little over 4 years while I collected parts. Once we started the build it took 1 year to complete.
How long have you been building?
12+ years
Club Affiliations
Those Dudes Louisville, Ky
Your future plans?
Currently building a 58 Chevy stepside truck into a custom Chevy Viking 4 door dually to haul the 58 Impala.
Vehicle history
I originally found the Impala while out on a run for work. It was sitting in an elder gentleman's yard where he said it had been for 8 years.
Thanks to
Huge thanks to Colby Young. Without him this build wouldn't have been possible.
