My dad bought it in 1982 for eight hundred dollars at a farm sale in Kewaunee Illinois And it had it had been repainted between nineteen sixty two and nineteen eighty two And the little story about that that I'll talk about later But I always wondered why How can a car that's only 20 years old be repainted Anyway it turns out it was a good thing because it's enamel and you can't do that anymore But my dad had it and loved it and was a farmer He did he was a mechanic I thought he was an awesome..

So the original price 25 25 100 That's correct Oh my Lord Wow We've come a long way Oh you've come a long way And you've put way more into that just getting it fixed back up again you know This is true But this is a beautiful story Now what are you planning on doing with the car You drive it so that's great I do I do Is it going to pass down at some point I hope so I have 3 boys So far there's not been a lot of interest They're forty nine forty eight and thirty one Come on guys That's it We'll .

Now all the gauges work Yep There is an extra gauge added below the dashboard Got a mechanical gauge first problem I had was overheating I can't even begin to tell you how big a problem that was And this goes back to your comment on your dad's mechanical abilities which you thought were really good Turns out they were not so he had the wrong hoses he had there was a hole in the radiator so at a Another funny story I found a guy in Joliet who when Studebaker went out of business went around and..

I showed up at this car show in my 1951 Mercedes 220 cabriolet And this guy rolls in next to me and parks next to me and I'm like oh my God I think I'm gonna go home with that car But he wasn't willing to sell it at the time And I did 3 weeks later contact him and I did purchase the car And and I wanted to do it wasn't all restored It was repainted but it had a red interior and I went ahead and had the interior changed to tan and pulled the motor out and went through the whole deal Now you also 

I mean what's your favorite thing thing about all of it all of it it's fun to drive it doesn't have a bad angle does it no no And it drives well Now you do drive it A lot It's not a showpiece I drive each one of my cars every day of the week Or each I'll drive my 51 on a Monday and this one on a Tuesday and a two ADSL on a Wednesday and keep on going for every day of the week Yep I come from my office to my home Well and you know cars are meant to be driven right It doesn't get a lot of miles on

Yeah Tucked down into a wheel well Man new cars you've got to buy another car to get that And that's just standard Exactly Good size trunk though for a convertible Yep Okay one thing I forgot to talk about on the interior right here come back up over here but let's let's talk about and you can catch these door switches down here rob but that's what i'm talking about so you got a normal standard window When to crank What I'm assuming the one Front is the latch Latch And what is the other ...

Now tell us a little bit about you know so when you decided to do this you decided to do your own work You had the mechanical background but not necessarily the body work right But why did they was this just a design element or was it structural So how in the world did you go from kind of knowing only basics about body work Having it at some level like this where Did the natural thing I went to school In the state of Minnesota where we live and where I was working on this there's a little known 

But then we got to talking about that whole front end So tell us how this whole front end came to be So let's back up just a little bit even from there So in 19 66 Kaiser Corporation who owned Jeep at the time was facing competition from 2 other manufacturers International had introduced the Scout in 19 61 And that was eating into the CJ-Five market or what they called the Jeep Universal market in those days And then in 19 66 Ford was coming out with the Bronco And so Jeep needed to do something

And so when the Jeepster came out the Jeepster Commando came out in 66 they offered the base engine was the 4 cylinder 1 34 or the upgrade engine the V-six-two-twenty-five Oh man it's fun to just know all those little gold nuggets behind what you're actually looking at Little twist Yeah Now we also talked about the fact that this you know we're talking about this front end and how extended it is And we were saying well is there a purpose for that And of course there is Yeah So with the design of

Today Rob and I are out here on this beautiful day We have a nineteen sixty three Impala Lowrider Custom paint There's a lot of things you've done on this car So let's actually start up in the front here okay wow this is beautiful so i'm not sure where to even start but we're gonna start down here you know you've had the bumper etched Yep they had the engraving done on the bumper guard the headlight bezels Two-tone Yeah I like gold and silver You've got gold and silver and it's on all the...

It's never done It's never ever done Yeah So now you know Tata We did Tata's car last year Yes You got this Is it exactly the same color It's not the same color His car is Tangelo House of Color Okay And mine is Sunset House of Color Okay From this angle it looks a hair different but I can't tell because of the sun And the angles of the sun definitely change it But yes this is a little bit different Okay For the motor did you redo anything there other than just go through it make sure it's...

Man but the fact that you did the first part sort of freehand and out of your head Yep freehand out of my head What an artist Yeah Wow that is incredible Okay Let's talk about the interior for a minute Okay So what made you go I mean obviously the car is orange right So the orange and white Is this Was this ever a color choice in Impala's No Okay no This is just a custom Original interior was blue This car was white with blue interior Okay So this this is but OK would there have been color color

Where did this all start It was officially that's when I had the license for business was in But I'm working for people from beginning again I was actually tuner the motorcycles and stuff like that So you've had your hands in all sorts of different automotive things besides bodybuilding And in fact the car we're going to look at today You've done everything I'll tell you why I actually started doing it Because it's normal I was a poor guy and I wanted a super cool thing And that's why I start...

I mean really because you can take your car to a custom shop and they can do it but there's very few people at those shops you know it's usually the owner of the shop it's not every mechanic or person that works in there yeah they just you say okay i need this built and here's how you're going to do it And you do it Yes But to have the person that can come up with that don't sell yourself short That is an incredible gift It is Thank you I mean that to me that's the same as a Michelangelo to be a

I have for example now build which is dream for builder and dream for a customer because It will be an unbelievable thing honestly It's a beautiful a concept car built from scratch behind this big story which we keep for our client to reveal You know she has the woman feeling and the leather and paint and she's speaking with the men and with the customers about what he wants how he wants which style Kind of design and color I like that She likes the luxurious stuff like good leather gloves you..

We build the road force balancer which is an industry standard but not only that but we bring new technology to the industry all the time to help produce better technicians more productivity and more profitability in our shops We're going to showcase a couple of those right now We have the Revolution Tire Changer a Road Force Elite Balancer and we also have the brand new Maverick Tire Changer over here All these are engineered and built a hundred percent in the United States and I'll show you...

What I like to do is mimic exactly what the Revolution's doing I'm going to bring that lower roller up as I'm supporting the bead with that upper roller until that bead's broken Once it's broken all the way around I can drop that lower roller out of the way I'm going to watch that sensor as it comes around I don't want to damage the sensor so I'm going to push down and indent on that bead bundle away from the sensor Once I do that I can bring the mount head down into position Watching that...
