In 1964 Impala Super Sports have had the 230 6-cylinder standard engine, but most were equipped with V8 engine. I think Impala is more of a cruiser than a muscle car, so I also wanted power steering and AC. Such chevy 6 cylinder engines are not for sale separately or in any kits, so I decided to take the engine from the Pacer kit.
What's more refreshing than putting an AMC engine in a Chevrolet 
AMC 258 + TF-904
Luckily The AMC 258 fits quite well in the engine compartment.
Chassis is assembled and painted. The exhaust pipe of the kit fit as is, but the driveshaft had to be modified.
The heater hoses have been installed and I used red hoses this time. It's probably better to install the radiator wall and radiator hoses with the body on. The interior is also almost ready, although I lost the shifter and had to make a new one. The trunk has been flocked and changed to be more original. The color of the body will be Tamiya X-7, painted and finished barn find style.
Body is primered and it awaits painting.
