Neil's 61 Impala

This was going to be my second total rebuild but have since redirected my efforts twards my daily driver due to time and space limitations. I sold it an 8/10/07 but still enjoy hearing from people who have or are interested in the 61 Impalas aka Bubble tops. Please take a look and good luck with all of your projects whatever they may be.

The first pic is of the car when my dad and I picked it up in 87.
