The Chevrolet Impala SS lowrider project car build

Finally! Jonny introduces his never-ending Chevrolet Impala project build. This 1964 SS lowrider restoration was started some 17 years ago, and still isn't finished. Jonny admits that it has been a roller coaster project, partly due to his lack of planning and, ill fitting components or unreputable companies, but it is now closer to completion that its ever been. It is the most expensive project he has ever had, and yet it has never started up or been driven.
The Impala SS has had a bare metal body off restoration, with reinforced chassis (in preparation for hydraulic suspension), a 350ci (5.7) crate V8 engine, restored or replaced trim, new upholstery, paint and custom pinstriping, and as much detail as was possible within the budget.
Rest assured there will be more episodes on the Impala project soon, but this one was an attempt at bringing viewers up to speed on what was started in 2003.

I know its "proper" to have a V8 ICE in one of these land yachts, but there are companies doing EV conversions you still got the style and flair, Im a EV fan but something cool about a V8 rumble. that's only problem I have with EV's they don't sound as cool as V8 in a tunnel or under a bridge. I wouldn't be surprised if there is someone working on Hydrogen Conversion kits for these old cars.

This is the weirdest yet coolest thing I've ever seen. I'm from Houston Texas and people thought I was weird for being a "white guy" who was infatuated with low riders. I grew up in the same era you did and loved the Old Skool Impalas!!! You've done a great job with this one. The only thing I would change are the rims. Dayton rims are the only way to go!!! I know they are EXPENSIVE but they match the era. Also, kudos on the Jag headlights! All lowriders need one unique quirk that sets them apart from all the rest. From the very beginning I was thinking to myself "those headlights look amazing but there is something unique about them"! This car is truly a work of art and the heart of what being a Lowrider is all about!!👍👍❤️❤️

There's been a journey and just look how happy you are when you talk about what you are creating! I've had a Ford Capri since I was 15, I'm now 37. I haven't got anywhere near the progress you have, maybe not actually progressed at all, and I'm critical of myself for what I haven't done or how long it's taking... but the people who love me or appreciate cars would say to me, as I hope they say to you, it's your car and you'll get there.
