Real Rides is a muscle car restoration workshop in Auckland, New Zealand. We specialise in the restoration of 50s-70s American and Australian muscle cars and restomods.
Day 9 has proved to be exciting stuff. Our new wheels and tyres have been installed, and the Impala is finally starting to look a car again!
It’s day 8, and assembly has begun in earnest. Both doors, the trunk, and the rear screen have been fitted, and the car is really taking shape.
Sunday, day 7 of our 63 Impala build, today was a much needed day of rest.
Day six of our 1963 Impala build. Despite being a Saturday, we’ve got a full crew working in the shop today, getting started on assembly.
It’s day five, and finally we’re seeing some progress! The paint booth has been in full swing to day, with all the prepwork finally completed.
Day 4 of our 1963 Impala build. The car has been pulled apart even further now, in order to start work on the dash, steering column, and firewall.
