You really know your stuff. Keep on building
.
Thanks Dad I appreciate that 👍 I need you Mom and Mike to come out to Alberta to give me a hand in the shop here lol
4 comealongs 4 eyebolts from the trusses up she goes
Thanks Raymond that's good to know for next time. I think I'll be moving out to my buddies shop to work very soon on the muscle cars out there and I'm sure he already has some anchor points on the trusses for this exact scenario
Hell ya!!! Wish I could help you. It be cool
Thanks Nick haha help would be a 100% appreciates for sure lol. Definitely allow me to get through some projects pretty quickly
I hope you’re going to paint the frame,after the firewall. Great job 🙂
Oh yeah definitely I'll be removing the body off the frame again. Just bolting it up to the new frame so I can cut off the firewall and weld the new metal back in place. Once I have the metal work done and body work I'll remove it from the frame so I can paint underneath the car and the frame. Thanks I appreciate that 👍
Very cool build look forward to more
Thanks Brian, I'm hoping to cut out the damaged firewall soon and get to welding up the new.
GREAT JOB!! ....ALL WORKED OUT WELL!!.... YOU DID A FINE JOB!
Thanks I appreciate that 👍 I got the Job done, and hopefully soon will be able to get that firewall cut out and sandblasted the new one and get back to welding 👍
I watched a video of a guy that used a cherry picker on a C-10 2nd gen went thru the cab and the bed Chris cross straps to four corners in a two car garage pull them by his self😊
I recently just picked up an engine hoist. Definitely sure the next time I go to do this it should be a bit easier haha
I have to hand it to you, you're a worker for working in all that snow. It's 82deg here in sunny Southern California.
Thanks Chris I appreciate that, haha and to top it off the night I swapped out that frame was around -25 again just couldn't catch a break between the snow and cold lo but did manage to get that job done. You know 82 degrees and sunny California sounds like a great place to be right now lol.
@@fullyloadedkustoms Come down here, I have a 67 Camero R/S 327 Coupe and 68 SS 350 Drop-top and my Moms 65 Chevelle Malibu 4 door W 283. Wagon and to top it off, it's 82 degrees. Stay safe we want to see those cars finished.
A while back there was a set off full rear quarter panels that were taken off of a 58 Impala listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace in Duluth Minnesota. They weren't perfect by any means but were way better than what yours appear to be.
That would be a fantastic find this is the only 1958 Impala that I have come across to get those quarter panels would have been fantastic. I've pretty much track down all the parts I need for the car except for the Pitchfork panel on the driver side and that rear quarter panel on the driver side
@@fullyloadedkustoms it would have been cool to get the info to you sooner but it wasn't possible. I believe the quarter panels are still available though.
That magic tool was uneque for sure we all want automatic tools
Thanks Raymond, I'm thinking I'm try and include that in my future videos too
warmed up
Wow Great job man. I really enjoyed watching you work your magic.
Juan in Virginia
Thanks Juan I appreciate that 👍 I'm hopefully getting a chance this week to sandblast the new Firewall for the 58. Hopefully getting some welding done soon. And some new videos on the 58 up
When this car is finished there won't be much metal that the car left the factory with.
Nope lol pretty much the roof and the doors are going to be about the only parts from the original car. The rest of it will probably be made up from about three other 58 biscayne.
SNOW REMOVAL: Leaf blower may help with snow removal.
We have just about that much snow here again this year too. Leaf blower That works good, I used to use that for clearing off vehicles when I worked at a dealership
Beard transformation! 😜
Lmao haha yeah I should retitle this video haha to Beard transformation lol
Haha damn snowwww!
Haha yeah it's been crazy with snow there was over 22" of snow on the cars at the shop. The snow Can stop anytime now lol
Chainfall works wonders. I never have an assistant either.
Thanks Dan I'll have to look into a chain fall. That definitely seems like it would be a great way to get the Body off the frame too. Especially if you are able to do it yourself as well.
I wish I could afford a Impala, lucky you! Lol
I definitely got lucky with this 58 Impala, I got this car for Free. I was doing rural telecommunication installations and keep asking people if they may know of any old cars from the 50s 60s or 70s kicking around. got lucky and was told there's bunch in the valley across the Feild if I want any put some rims and tires on them and he'll help me pull it out with the tractor.
@@fullyloadedkustoms those 58 impala are like hot tamales! 🔥 $$$
@@BrownPride2010 oh yeah the 58 Impalas are hard to come by. No got lucky with the 58 Biscayne parts cars I picked up too. I was able to get 2 58 Biscayne parts cars for only $500 each. Was able to get a full front clip I was able to use for my Impala and I think I'll be using the full floor out of the pink Biscayne too.
I have one, not an Impala though, the least desirable one. I hope to start on sometime in a few years. I have to make do with what I have and work with it. I don't have connections in the car hobby and left it years ago because of one sided attitudes and shops and mechanics see ones like me coming and dollar signs popped up real fast. Attitudes seem to be changing a bit now. The car is mostly 99% complete. I would like to put a three on the tree back in. I'm in Winnipeg. I do love the Impala but I'll never afford one nowadays.
1958 Biscayne is the one that you must have? Or is it the Delray? I think the Del Rey must be the one they made for only one year in 1958. It replaced the 150 models from the previous year in 1957. It's still pretty sweet to be owning a 1958 Chevy regardless of what the trim style is. Still make it beautiful Vehicles what's they've been restored. That's awesome, especially the vehicles 99% complete. Hopefully, you can get that one back on the road some day 👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustomsThanks, yes a DelRay 4 dr. Last drove in '71, still has original paint(gold and beige). Fairly decent, the usual rust from that period. Interior needs to be made new but overall restorable. At least I was able to keep in inside since '97 just after I bought it. I need to get the body off to properly finish the floor, frames in the way.
I'm building a Delray and down here in FL I'm having a heck of a time finding parts how are you locating any I did see you a Biscayne. I have always loved these cars a hope to get mind done some day
Oh nice Gary how's your Delray project coming along, do you have big plans for it? If you are looking for 58 Chevy Parts check out www.autocityclassics.com I believe they are located in Minnesota. They have roughly about 100+ 58 Chevy Impala/Belair/Biscayne/Delrays there. They have every part I need except they don't ship to Canada lol.
i want that level air frame! lol
Let me know Ryan, it'll need the front passenger side of the frame pulled straight again, but it can probably be repaired. I've also still got that level air tag too
@@fullyloadedkustoms I just want that levelair stuff for my 59 convertible! Let me know when youre ready to let it go :)
A 58 Impala is a great body style. It's too bad that parts are almost extinct these days.
Haha, tell me about it. It's been a challenge to find parts. And when I do, they don't ship to Canada, haha. Auto city classics in Minnesota have every part I need for the 58, but they don't ship to Canada. Lucky I do have the two 58 biscayne for some interchangeable parts though. Hopefully come across more 58s
@@fullyloadedkustoms I bought a 348 fan shroud for a friend who has a 58 Nomad yesterday. $200
@@fullyloadedkustoms Thanks for the info.
@whitehorse1 for sure, no Problem, if you need 58 parts, Auto city classics specializes in 58 Chevys they have over 100+ 58 chevys on site.
@@fullyloadedkustoms WOW. I'll tell my friend. I just sent him the link to their website.
I asked my dog what he thought of that car and he said "ruff".
Haha well Ray your dog was right it's Ruff for sure, But I'm definitely up for the task of getting it welded up and running down the road again 👍
AAAH HA HA HA HA....
Hey rob we should really get together man I'm in Alberta up by Sherwood park I have a 63 impala convertible SS that I'd love to get a pay job for something with house of colors would loyeah both of colors would love the maybe see if you give me a price you could even make some video out of it say next winner Get back to me if this is something you're interested in doing keep up the good work the videos are awesome man
For Shawn that would be great Sherwood park is not far from me. I'm usually down in that area once a month or so. 63 Impala convertible SS is a nice project, what are you thinking for House of Kolor paint? Yeah that's something I would probably be interested in If I don't have a bunch of stuff on the go and can make it work. Thanks I appreciate that 👍
More impala
I've still got the Impala at my other shop there. Still looking to track down parts that ship to Canada for the floor pans floor pan brace supports and also looking for the driver side Pitchfork replacement panel too. Been challenging to find some parts for this car that ship to Canada. Auto City Classic in Minnesota has everything I need for this 58 Impala except they won't ship out to Canada
If I was you I'd buy a vintage engine puller and pull it that way with straps. Are you going to keep the wheels?
Thanks Chevy Land, I'll be moving out to my buddies place to work on the muscle cars at his shop pretty soon. He's got a pretty big shop and and lots of extra room for an engine puller to do it that way. i I might end up cleaning the Buick Rims and maybe repaint and sell them.
@@fullyloadedkustoms oh cool that is nice. Oh they are buick rims they look like craiger SS wheels.
@@chevylandt.v yeah they are Buick Rims of a mid 80ish grand prix I think is what I pulled them off
@@fullyloadedkustoms oh wow, they look good with it but, whatever, you choose would be good.
@@chevylandt.v yeah they do have a good look to them. I'm sure I would be able to get them cleaned up pretty good too.
How's the snow been melting there? Melting here pretty decent
The Snows been melting here pretty good but it's been coming right back afterwards too lol hopefully it melts and stays gone soon. How's it been over there?
@@fullyloadedkustoms its been good then rained and snowed it packed down on the highways making travel "fun" highway should be better tomorrow
It definitely needs all new body mount bushings. Now would be the time to buy those.
Oh yeahh I'm trying to get together every thing I need for this 58. I, need to remove the car off the frame again when I do all the floor and stripe the frame down to paint it. Definitely adding the bushing to the list, thanks for watching 👍🏻
Do u have a spare steering column ?
I might have a spare Steering column, on one of my 58 Biscayne parts cars.
👍 2) Even the outro is way, way too loud! Why?
I think this was my third or fourth video. At the time of releasing this video, I don't think I had comments on any of the previous videos. So I had no idea the music was to loud until 6-8 months after the video was released and the channel started getting comments. Thanks for leaving your feedback though much appreciated.
Take a drive down to california
That's what I definitely like to do take a cruise down to California would be great
Why didn't you clean up and paint the frame first???
I mounted the car to frame first so I can cut off the old fire wall and weld the new one in, and weld the floor in, body panels etc, once I'm done that and have the body all solid. I'm going to put the body on a rotisserie seam seal and paint underneath the car, stirp the frame and clean it up paint it and then reattach it.
You have Instagram?
Hey Yes I do I haven't been on there in the longest time. I have started posting on tiktok more recently.
