Richard Rawlings Gets His Hands On A Stunning 1965 Chevy Impala! | Fast N' Loud

as far as what we're going to do to the 65 Impala I'm not sure yet sure it's a lot easier when we don't have to load it ourselves I pay the guy I get the car turn it over to Aaron let him figure it out from there it is a little crusty that's not bad it needs a paint job so bad but I tell you if we paint it we're going to own it we're not we'll never get our money out of it cuz it ain't that kind of car I agree with you 100% there the Impala is not only one of Chevrolet's most historic cars but it's also one of the bestselling full-size cars in America as well it set standard for comfort and value in 1965 Chevrolet introduced the fourth generation of the Impala with a total redesign and apparently someone thought it was water poop what were they thinking hey guys come on out all right I got a $2,500 65 Impala I think never got a metal Dash in it Aaron's going to tell you what you're going to do to it cuz he's already got a grandmas plan after seeing this car for 3 minutes nailed it that's that's exactly that's exactly it it's a 327 automatic I assume it's a power glide it's a AC power brake power steering car you want to go to lunch this is the car hell yeah you can fit everybody in it the funny thing is you don't have to do a great big oh my God to a car you can do really nice subtle stuff that really changes things so we're going to take the signature andala triple nipple tail lights and flatten them out smooth so paint Guy this is what I got for you bunch of nothing cuz we're not going to paint it we're going to try we're going to try and buff it see what uh what happens the the paint that's on it will look great the areas that are orange not fixing that like always time and money let's push it in get started quicker we get it built quicker I can sell it I shut the hood open the door how long do we have on it a month ah you know keep dream in KC with a budget of 10 to 12 Grand and 2 weeks to get it done I can easily flip this Impala for 20 25 Grand oh I get to ride well you ain't going to push you Ste it so get you to do something 's got a plan for the 65 imp and I think he can tell you all about it in one breath go Aaron let me tell you I'm going put willwood brakes on at the Race Kit 14inch brakes on it's going to have six piston calipers I'm going to pull the motor and transmission out send it over Jamie hcw or hwc whatever I'm going to have the motor completely rebuilt 327 power glide out have it rebuilt I'm going to have them detail the engine basic the motor transmission back in the car them use rch suspension which is all new strong arms rear and front use their ride Pro Management System system on it and then we're going to put a set of American Racing 20s on with said toyot proxy st2s on it I'm going to do a couple things the outside of the car on the tail lights that are faded crack I'm going to ditch them we're going to put flat lenses in it we're going to polish the paint best we can polish the Chrome after all that's done we're going to send it over to Sue and we're going to have these stock interior completely redone inside the car boom what's it today 1004 I'm so hung over I I hate being short stinking Texas heat or not we still have to get this Impala tore down and then get the motor and transmission out and get it rebuilt up we go got the impal in the air we're draining all the floods now we're going to pull the drivetrain out cut the exhaust off get it outside get a power wash really damn that was boring well what the hell do you want me to say I'm trying to work watch it at this point in our day we really don't know what exactly is going to happen all that we know is we're going to remove the drive line whoa whoa whoa whoa we removed most of the exhaust once we get that done things will get a whole lot lighter around here in the mood too I remember my first motor pulling out don't get that [Music] what's going on are we still going to have this on the ground a couple days I don't see it being a problem at all air ride going up and down big brakes Wheels tires everything ready to rock and roll I'm doing the airpod so that's real simple man this is working out all right then yeah go have a beer go sit down somewhere now that we got all the suspension on it's time to move on to the air management system everything's all on one tray you got your valves you got your compressor you got your tanks you got all your wiring plug and place super simple give me in the trunk can't put it underneath the car there's not enough room underneath [Applause] [Music] there God it smells like rats in here it does ow why are there spiders in [Music] here one of the cool things about our Impala is the tail lights ours has a bullet tail light you got it so it sticks out but one of the things Aaron wanted to do was is make a flush fit one so we're going to get rid of this lens this one here will set in and be a flat lens the tail lights were pretty badly damaged from exposure to the sun this this man this may not work and we could order new ones that'd be easy enough but I don't like easy what I want to do is actually flush them it's a trick i' had seen someone else do before it worked out really well so we're going to give it a shot here and I think we make it work well bam look at that that so there's just a few days left to get this Impala build done well there it is motor tuned and tested ready to go so we're getting the engine back from our engine builder Jamie today and that's a major Milestone but having the AC cranking it's making the work go better than a side of bacon with a short stack at Waffle [Music] House we got the motor training drive shaft in so we can get this thing on the ground and uh we're good to [Music] go I'm happy with that that's I'm I'm really happy with that can it be lower yes could it be faster yes could it a lot of things yeah this right here is [Music] awesome [Music] oh [Music] so here you have it 1965 Impala why am I so excited we got it done in time and we got it done in budget gas monke is going to make some money on this one I bought the car for 2500 bucks and I gave Aaron and the guys a budget of around 10 or 12 Grand because at that point I'm in the car for 15 and I think I can sell it for around 20 to 25 Grand and that's pretty decent money to make in two weeks time when it came to the look of this car we know we didn't have a lot of money and we certainly didn't have a lot of time it really had a good feel we just needed to a adjust the attitude and we know how we do that we did it with the altitude which is pretty low we use ride Tech suspension airbags all the way around and then we're using their management system which allows us to press a button to go to one of three Heights getting the car closer to the ground helps us in a lot of ways there's a performance benefit but the main thing is my God how well does it look this thing is amazing [Music] the
