collectables in factory-correct form, it takes quite a bit of nerve
to pull the gloves off and create a killer resto-mod. But, as
you'll see, the results are definitely worth the six-figures it
required to finish this amazing hardtop. This Impala possesses the
kind of performance and style that literally defines
'one-of-a-kind'. Ready for a first class build that combines
everything great about front row Customs with modern road rocket
technology? Check out this killer bowtie bubble top! BODYWORK/TRIM
Sealed in a sophisticated combination of Metallic Blue and Satin
Black inserts, this slick Chevrolet is the beneficiary of an
extensive, ground-up restoration that was completed over the course
of 4 years. After being stripped to bare metal, the car's solid
body was patched, worked and sanded until it displayed
better-than-factory alignment. That body's combination of form, fit
and flash is reinforced by high-gloss Standox clear, which was
blocked several times and buffed to a mirror-like shine. Custom
satin black inserts on the hood and sides with polished side
factory trim complete this world-class look. The greatest thing
about building a massaged third generation Impala is the crouched,
laid back aesthetic most street rod enthusiasts crave is pretty
much standard factory fare. At the front of this fully sorted
full-size, a straight, chrome grille hangs a classic crest and
clear parking lamps and the factory 3-piece bumper. Above that
grille, a shaved hood leads the eye to the custom pushpin hood
latches and satin black hood inserts. The factory cowl leads your
eyes up to the like-new glass under bright stainless frames. At the
sides of that hood, a fully shaved profile fender tops and sleek
crisp trim. And looking to the back of the car the undeniable 61
impala deck lid and the jet-inspired taillights leave you wanting
for more. ENGINE A wild Twin Turbo 509 Big Block that provides
plenty of solid and crazy motivation powers this sweet looking
Chevy. Straight from the machine shop, the racy mill utilizes 509
cubic inches that produce 669 horsepower and approx. 640 lb./ft. of
Oak-shaking torque. And that's only on the street tune with
93-octane fuel at ONLY 13 lbs of boost. Now hold on... Let's dump
that fuel out and fill her up with 110 Race fuel, slip in the race
tune in, turn up the boost and she will produce 1500 HP to the
wheels with no problems. The way we have it now, the engine will
out perform the fuel pump. The folks at Dyno Source in Wadsworth,
IL tell me if we upgrade the pump the engine will produce over 2000
HP with ease. But at this point we've spent plenty of money and
have had Dyno Source run this on their Dyno several times. I
wouldn't let them push this thing harder than that, just because I
didn't want to hurt the motor. There is just way too much invested
to be stupid on the Dyno. We are more than pleased with what it
produces now, and you and I both know at almost 700hp to the rear
wheels that's enough to get your self in trouble, so why push it
any more? So lets get down to what's inside that 509, here's the

car's spry 509 Dart Block is, first and foremost, augmented by a
fully refinished X-frame that mixes subdued looks with proven
brawn. The original X frame was customized by the People at McCoy
Race Car Chassis down in Washington MO. The front frame section was
removed and a custom fabricated front tube chassis replaced it. A
front rack-and-pinion setup was added as well as upper and lower
tubular control arms with 4-wheel disc brakes for some much needed
stopping power. They then added some custom framework along the
outside of the X-member to run along the inside rocker panel area
to further strengthen the body. At the center of that chassis, a
tough 4L80E Built 4-speed trans makes good use of a shortened
driveshaft. That driveshaft twists a proven custom fabricated 9"
rear-end set of gears, which seats 3.73 gears and a posi-traction
differential between those fat 345 Mickey Thompson rear tires. 4
wheel disc brakes, which squeeze 12-inch drilled and slotted
rotors, provide smooth and solid stops. Spent gases flow through 3"
large-diameter custom made, fitted pipes and throaty turbo
mufflers. That fancy exhaust work under the car was thanks to John
at Ultimate Exhaust in Crystal Lake, IL. The crazy twisted pipe
work under the hood, which is a work of art, comes from the guys at
Dyno Source. The power meets the pavement through custom Schott
wheels which spin a rear set of massive 345/35R18 Mickey
Thompson's. The front wheels spin a set of HanKooK 225/45ZR18.
Everything from this Chevy's color-keyed fenders to its beefy sway
bar, tuck nicely under that beautiful body. INTERIOR When you open
the door you're hit in the nose with a nice leather smell coming
from a mix of black leather and vinyl. Behind the car's lightweight
doors you'll find a luxurious mix of heavy grain leather on the
seats and vinyl on the side panels as well as rich thick black
carpeting. The Comfy, custom front bucket seats are accompanied by
a full custom center console which houses the rest of the gauges
needed to keep an eye on what's going on under the hood. And yes,
we even added a couple of cup holders because you'll need two hands
on the wheel when you hit the gas pedal. From the driver's seat,
you'll look over a factory crisp, clean dash loaded up with a few
extra gauges to watch that motor, as well as your speed. The
steering column is an Idid-it that attaches to the rack & pinion
