Cool car Tom.

I had the 1964 version here for my class last February. This is the big dog, FACTORY BIG BLOCK. Factory SS. Factory 4-Speed.

And - single stage paint.

Lots of real-estate on these old Impalas...


Looking forward to your write-up.

Tom...WOW bringing back memories...when I got out of the service in 62...I bought the same car in black...with the 409 engine...I also had 411 rear gears for better traction...LOL wish I still had the car
 
Letting megs #7 do it's work overnight tonight.

Plan to do only 2 applications of #7. Maybe 3....Will see.

Will do one step using Pinnacle Souvern Jeweling Wax.
Will then put down Souvern wax at the end.

Pictures....

Paint is very thin on hood and front fenders.

Will use CBEAST and Rupes white pads to apply Pinnacle Jeweling Wax. Maybe CFINISHER....not sure tho.

Awesome car, Tommy!

I was hoping to see two Carter AFB's under the hood though. ;)
 
The old school trick was to wash single stage with Kerosene. I'm guessing Meguiars #7 would be more effective.

I'm confident which ever combination you use - it will be the best and safest choice for both preserving the original paint while taking the results to their maximum potential.

3.08 was the standard LOL.... ....the 411 was for faster acceleration....and lower top end....also the car had positraction ...
