Summer Splice: 1960 Chevy "Biscala": Let's See if They Fit?

Hi guys! Thanks for tuning in! This week we're going to keep going on the 1960 Chevy Impala I bought from Tom a couple of years ago... I have a Chevy Biscayne sedan for a donor, and it is time to see if we can save the Impala by grafting it to the bottom of the solid Biscayne! I did a 1960 Plymouth Fury a few years ago, so it'll be a similar job, overall... This week we'll finish prepping the 2 big pieces and try landing the top of the Impala on the bottom of the Biscayne...
Thanks everyone who ordered a 1937 Chevy T-shirt; they're being printed now and I'll let everyone know when they are on the way!
Hope you enjoyed the 8mm clips! I am filming more on the 8mm camera and I'll include the footage as soon as I get it developed... Special thanks to Steve Dean and Niagara Film Labs in Toronto.

1972 I had a wife and 2 kids so needed something. found a 60 chevy station wagon for 20 bucks. fixed it up and used it for 4 years. sold it for 200 bucks when it got to rusty. great car to drive in traffic. NO one tried to bully me for a lane. I am enjoying this restoration very much.

[@patdesrosiers6423]

A 60 BelAir 4 door was the one I never should’ve sold. Best dash of any of my cars. I replaced the bad 283 with one from a buddy who had wrecked his truck and drove it around 4 years

Al was instrumental on the 60 Fury as I recall. He's GREAT help !!! Of course so are the others !!! The entire crew on this channel are truly exceptional !!! That, in itself, it the biggest factor in why this channel is the absolute best automotive related channel (if you like original "quality early USA made automotive iron) along with some quality foreign specimens of the same (profit, not absolute greed) corporate period. So, to all the "real" mechanics on this channel and any of their like minded friends "CHEERS" and thanks for the weekly uplift and entertainment !!!

The gentleman that owes that beautiful Impala I photographed is seeing this. He wondered why you are doing this when you can get a restored one. I told him there wouldn't be any fun in that. I also told him you are a cheap bastard. 😂 Cheers!

[@81cb750fss]

And it's proof that an appropriate buzz helps the imagination in considering possibilities, if you have the skill, shit... Go for it😂

[@coldwarmotors]

Hi Heather! Well, I guess I would buy a restored one if I could find a nice one for 7500 bucks, which is what I'll have into this when it is finished, just like the Fury... Ask him what he wants for his? Haha cheers, and thanks as always for supporting and encouraging this nonsense! (PS I am definitely a cheap bastard; that's why I learned how to fix cars!)

So if you're new here and watched since the beginning of the "Biscala" splice and asked yourself, "How in the hell - - - - ?" Well now you know, and the amazing part is one guy has the vision and three others jump in to make it happen. (Make that 4, I saw Jim at the end jockeying the nose in while Matt slacked in the background.) Props to the camera work catching the key fitments too. Oh, I still ask that question too, how in the hell - - - ?

[@CarterAutoRestyling]

Absolutely fantastic! I really like how you are doing the A post splice. My only critique is that you missed out on the perfect opportunity to set that Impala body on a late model unibody chassis. You would get huge performance gains with front wheel drive and a fuel injected v6, plus a nice modern interior with plastic dash and high back bucket seats...not to mention the safety benefits of a collapsible steering column and air bags. So many have gone down the wrong path by trying to recomission 60+ year old parts for their classics. People need to embrace the modern bodyswap because nothing says style, comfort, reliability and safety like a flimsy old car body haphazardously welded on top of a 2015 Camry with a large portion of its unibody structure removed. RESTOMODZ 4 LIFE BRO!!!!
