1965 Impala SS Restoration Project Begins…
The time has come. I have started the process of finishing the body work and paint, as well as the interior of my 1965 Impala Super Sport. I have found too many rusted spots and body cancer to let this go on any further. I imagine this process will very time consuming. I am hoping to do some “garage” type procedures to minimize cost while trying to maintain exceptional results. I have also started to do little things like remove and polish the chrome, such as the grill (I stripped the entire grill of the factory black paint) and will be going with a custom look. After doing much research, I have also sourced a way to paint my car, myself, for less than $50. Don’t start laughing quite yet…. I will use a roller instead of a spray gun. I know this seems silly, but I will show you how I do it every step of the way, and here are a few pictures to show what I am working with.

Looks like you have quite the job ahead of you. I look forward to seeing the finished product. What colour do you plan on doing her in?
As of right now, I am thinking a nice new coat of white. I really like how white accents the chrome, and with a set of new 18 inch American Racing Torq Thrust 2s I think it will really look great.
