    Wow! - And no shipping, either!
    You know, I lived in SoCal my whole life up until 2009, and never went to the Pomona auto swap meet...........dummy me.

    worse spot i have found so far is the last body mount on the right hand side…but with a bit of luck and some handy-andy, i will be able to fix it without taking the body off.(that's were the spare sits, so the is space)
    Gonna leave those Cragars on there too, they look awesome when it's slammed……oehhaa

    GREETZZ Paul :cool:

    ..well, i have been busy doing stuff for others, but in between i have started to modify and change out parts on the Impala..
    1st on the list was the heatercore, under the dash……removed the hole lot![​IMG],[​IMG],[​IMG],[​IMG],
    then found this one, stuck under the dash…………………guess, i'll look for another.[​IMG],[​IMG],
    Found out why my wipers didn't work….[​IMG],
    Got some more interior parts out, so i can clean them and give it all a diff. color
    (gonna re-spray the outside in the same colors, but a few interior parts are still the original color, and going to be flat black too and i will add some pinstriping later……..you'll see:bouncy:)
    here's the kick-panels..[​IMG],[​IMG],
    This came in today..a box full off stainless screws, so i can put all the rusty ones in the bin and use these..:)[​IMG],
    ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    back on the heater-unit….[​IMG],[​IMG],[​IMG],[​IMG],
    as i was cleaning up, under the dash, found that a lot of that insulation was gone , loose and ripped.
    Decided to take all out, give a good clean and brush and paint it all with hammerite…[​IMG],[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG],

    Very nice '64 Dutchy and seeing your pictures, it's going to be even nicer!
    Any idea how it wound up over there?
