how does that new drivers door latch work?

Latch works allright for a nock off Mexican/Chinese piece. This ain't no 100% original restoration show car, just look good from the stands i guess!

Old Injun, I was wondering how you knew about the new door latch!

Yes, very nice restoration on that Biscayne.

Quite honestly, my 68 Impala was an original 427/425 car with the # matching motor. I would do the car show thing for years, but really got boring. I always wanted a stocker so I built my 68 Impala into a race car, that car sold and and restored to OEM.

I had that car 30+ years but ended up in the hands of somebody who builds/collect 68 Fullsize BBC cars! He does not care about drag racing and has no interest in that part of the history of the car. One of the main reasons I am building a 65 Impala I was able to get all the racing parts back including motor, rear end ect..

I scratch my paint job on the 65 already but hey, it's a race car!

My ideal Street car would be a V8 Vega! Also wanted one.
