Plugging away on various tasks. Almost done cutting and polishing the exterior. I received a call our interior guy will be ready in about 4 weeks to commence the interior work. So along with working on the pint some more I completed the rest of the carpet and floor sections
one more door and fender to do. Then we start assembly.
'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
On the home stretch for cut and polish now. Only more quarter. Then some hazy areas to touch up and then its stage two and stage three police that are about 3-4 hours each step then Ill wax behind the areas that chrome will be assembled and start the build. i have some holidays coming up. I can hardly wait to start getting some bling on it.
I like your idea of the tarp on the hoist before you park the upper car. I hadn't thought of doing it that way. My Trans Am doesn't leak anything but the Strato Chief has a typical drippy old 283 in it and I need to always put something underneath the car when it's on top.
And that wagon just keeps looking better by the day.

Today I finally got to assemble something. Good feeling to be starting to build finally. got these beauty taillights from Darryl.
Glad they made it onto such a nice car!

We do it for several reasons. We have all the drip trays under the engine and transmission and one under the diff. But there is no doubt you collect sand and dirt when you drive so we dont want it coming down. Also we didn want the polish slurry flying up onto the bottom of the Impala
Finally got to put some jewellery on the car. My buddy with long skinn arms helped me put the impossible Parisienne emblem on the drivers side. So we put a couple others on while we were at in

Got some more chrome on it today. just a little more detail polishing left to do then i can start waxing. Once thats done we start putting it together and yes that is a great feeling finally able to put pieces back on
Here is a little sneak peek. I assembled the stanchions today. Have to get some new well nuts before I can put on. Thanks for enlarging my photos. Not sure how to do it with my phone.

Plugging away. As my wife said today... her princess now has her tiara on. Now I am working away getting the nose together and on. Something that has never been on since we have had the car.
