Jake Dykstra's 1962 409/409 Impala!

[RPOLS3]

The two steps forward one step back bug bit again last night........

I took the car to a local cruise night (see seperate post in the lounge). The last couple of times I drove the car there has been a disturbing clunk coming from underneath that has gotten louder. I thought I screwed something up when I put the front end back together but after I got home last night I took a look and everything under the front is as it should be. I know the center carrier bearing support for the driveshaft is a weak point in these cars. When I went to grab the rear driveshaft it was loose as a goose, so I think I found the culprit.........and my next project. Always something.

Other than that the car drives great, new carbs are very responsive and the new correct radiator keeps things noticeably cooler than the previous unit.
