It's not a G-Body Longroof...but DAMN!

It's a 1961 Impala I just stumbled across. Amazing work!

Here's the link to the HotRod Mag article...

Greg,
I've seen that one a few years ago. I think it took some honors at one of the SEMA shows.
Very creative work. It looks like it started life as a '61 bubbletop coupe. It's different.
I wouldn't mind owning a '61 wagon, even though it will be a 4-dr....I'm not choosy.

Thanks for posting the pics.

As nice as it is...it's a piece of art, not a practical road going vehicle. It is beautiful, though.

I could enjoy staring at it all day long. It wouldn't even need a driveline.

Well, like I said, Charlie...it's a piece of art. I also could stare at it all day long.

I'd ride it like a rented mule. If you can afford it, you can afford to trash it.

I saw it in person at the Detroit AutoRama the year it was completed. 2016 I think. It was a Riddler contender. The workmanship really needs to be seen to be believed. IIRC it is named "Double Bubble."

I too over this one a couple years back!

nice to see some originality when you think everything has already been done.
