64 Impala quarter panel templates

I’ve been sidetracked the last couple of weeks so there hasn’t been a lot of Impala Project work.

My brother inlaw came here from Seattle a few weeks ago to work for the summer and his car died. The timing belt tension wheel mounting stud snapped off. I drilled out the remnants and put a new stud in place.

Continuing with sifting through the collection of 64 Impala parts, I’m getting ready to take some things from some quarter panels and front fenders. To start with I’m making templates for the holes the Impala letters and logos on the quarter panels mount to. Since a lot of new full quarter panels don’t come with the holes already punched, the templates can be useful in re-creating them correctly.

You can look for these as a downloadable item in the near future. I may decide to use them as a newsletter signup incentive, or once I’ve created enough of this 64 Impala stuff make it a members only library.

Stay tuned.

64 Impala magazine ad

This is an interesting blog for the 60’s Impala or classic car trivia buffs. The author is Jim Bernadin and he has a history as a photographer who did a lot of the ad shots for magazine ads back in the 60’s. He provides some background and some unique stories about each of the classic car ads they shot.
