1963 Chevy Impala

Wallpaper Description:

There’s no better way to teach kids than to capture their interest and passion, that’s why David Brownell picked up this ’63 Impala as a project to teach his son, Ryan, practical skills like mechanics, welding, and more. The original idea was a simple stock resto, but it appears we ruined Ryan; reading PHR he discovered stock isn’t cool, but hot rodding is! That stretched out the time frame of the build, but it also resulted in one slick Impala, possessing a hot 406ci small-block with an Edelbrock intake and Crane hydraulic roller cam, 700-R4 trans, and custom leather-wrapped interior with custom full-length console, Auto Meter gauges in a custom housing, and six-way power seats. The great stance comes via custom coils with 2-inch drop spindles in the front. One of our favorite touches is the side-exit exhaust that dumps out through notches cut in the rockers. Best of all though, just as planned, the Impala was almost completely built in the garage by David and Ryan, with plenty of lessons learned along the way.
