Very cool! Love the pics and you can't beat the documented history.

Looking forward to seeing it when done.

update! for the past two weeks the side pipes have coming off and stock rockers have been going back on. going to run lake plugs instead of the full pipes also picked up a 1959 impala roof piece today off ebay to replace the two rood scoops. we could not find a 58 impala roof insert and metal we went with the 59 because it just bolts down and its different. the bottom pic is one just like it

I see you use the same type of door keep-open devices that I sometimes use.

yeah they work good when you dont want the door to latch because you then cant get to the release inside the car.

Thanks for the update! Is the lift at CJ's shop, or at someplace else?

well we changed the color again but this time it is certain since we are going to get the paint in the next few weeks so we can start on painting the block and suspension parts. we are going with 2010 mazda speed celestial blue (below) it has a lot of metallic for a factory color and since we are trying to get it back in the magazines we decided it was best to go back blue like it was when it was in there.

Not sure what I'm looking at in the first pic? Is that under the hood?
