Love everything about this build except the wheels, but those are one of them things that are strictly builders choice. No points deducted. 10/10 would drive every day

Wheels look like Something out of The 90s… 17 inch rally wheel Reproductions are a Better fit for a car like This.

My parents had a "74 Caprice Estate wagon. They bought it brand new off the lot back in '74. They got it fully loaded with a/c, power brakes, power windows (including the rear window and door) and it had a 454 (badging by the front fender) and 400 hydramatic. We put well over 300K miles on that thing before it finally gave up the ghost. Lots of fond memories. ❤

The TNN team would have never taken on this project. The popularity of Donk culture should be credited for this build.

I hope this inspires more aftermarket support for these cars! I have a 72 Impala and cannot find new wheel well moldings. These cars are sure underrated and really should be looked at as just bigger family sized Chevelles or Monte Carlo’s! Really they aren’t much bigger or heavier, mine weighs 4100, about the same as a 72 Monte Carlo. Would like to see a 17” Corvette Rally wheel on it for a comparison. I like a little more side wall on a musclecar tire. This is not supposed to be a donk is it?

@jamesberdine8574 5 ай бұрын

I have a ‘71 Impala. And yes parts are hard to get. I have been searching for a fuel sender. Seems the senders are different depending on what carburetor you had. 2 barrel or a 4 barrel.I have the 400SB with the 2 barrel. If anyone knows where I can find a fuel sender let me know. I noticed that when they pulled the fuel tank out of Fat-Stack it had the sender I need. The guys over at PowerNation ran the engine it was a 400SB with a 2 barrel. Why the different sender depending on the carb beats me.

Would be cool if you featured economy based muscle cars for [Flashback] like the V8 powered Vega, V8 Maverick, V8 Gremlin, etc.
