- In this video from Big Oak Garage in Hokes Bluff AL, I catch up with Will Posey and check out their latest build, this 1961 Chevrolet Impala Custom Rod...Dan Duffy's "Dirty Martini"...Dan had a Impala back in the day and He has had several cars since...But He always wanted to do another Impala. He had a Friend that Built some of His other Custom Cars that always wanted to Wedge Cut a Impala with Dan...By the time Dan was ready...His buddy didn't have in Him to take on such a extensive project. Dan had Big Oak Garage do some work for Him in the past, and after He and Will had some conversations about doing a Impala....Will was sent to find the Car they would start with. The 1961 Impala He found was in pretty good shape and was a project that had been started by it's current owner...That was a couple of years back...2022...It's finished and the work is incredible. This 1961 Chevrolet Impala is covered in it's own Dirty Martini green color trimmed in a off white...There are a ton of body modifications that the casual fan of the bubble top Impala won't see..That's why we got a stock bodied 1961 Chevrolet Impala to set next to it on part of this video...The leather interior is all custom and the color is a exact match to the rest of the trim color...Wheels are one off custom that I'm sure not everyone will like...But that I absolutely love...Under the custom hood is a very cleanly installed polished 509 W block V-8 with a lot of custom panel work....The underside is just as nice as the top...Painted in both colors making it a true work of art...This 1961 Chevrolet Impala from Big Oak Garage is as custom of a bubble top Chevrolet Impala as I have seen...Very cool for sure...Check it out!!

Unbelievable! One of the greatest customs of all time. This generation Impala has to have the W engine. Perfection!

lol...You're welcome...Glad You liked it!!
Incredible... just incredible.
I agree...Thanks for checking it out!!
I think that the 61 Chevrolet Impala is one of the most beautiful car designs ever. This car is a great example, and a "dirty martini" is one of my favorite libations.
lol...Cool!!
Now. after that builder went through everything that was modified, makes me appreciate it even more. I think. I may be wrong, but I think that bubble tops were 1959-1962. I love the 62 Bubble top Bel-Air.
61 and 62 only....
She’s a beaut! 61 is one of my favorite year Impalas. 58,59 and 61 are my favorites. They remind me of what the Corvette would have been like if Chevy had done to it what Ford did to the T Bird. They have that sporty look. This one is very tastefully done.
Thanks for checking it out!!
@@ScottieDTV
Thanks for showing it! I saved it to a playlist. Anytime I see a 66 or earlier Impala, I check it out.
This one of the most refined custom car I have ever seen. PRICELESS! Just finished the watching the video. Scottie this ABSOLUTELY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM CAR I HAVE EVER SEEN. BLOWN AWAY!
Right on Brother...Glad You liked it!!
I had two 61 bubble tops in the early 90's ,& a 63,64 ,& 65 SS they were great automobiles!!!!
Right on...Thanks for checking this one out here!!
ohhhh yesss this is my style...f..in beauty!thx
Thanks for checking it out!!
Everything that Big Oak did & got going on here I completely agree with it being an improvement, a great feature, and barring my ability to imagine it done, is exactly as I would agree with making an ugly impala '61 a car I would be proud to be seen in, excited to drive and in love with as I would if the owner. FFFFFF'ing great reveal Scotty. These men deserve to have you do a feature on their build and we are all privileged to get to see it! Thank you brother man.
Glad You enjoyed it!!
Beautiful.
Agreed!!
That's nice.
Glad You liked it!!
Absolutely amassing. You would never know the amount of modifications that has been made to this car unless they were pointed out to you, a mark of a very skilled tradesmen. When you see the two cars side by side then you realise how different they are. In particular he mentioned the difference in the height of the front and rear screens and once pointed out the stock bubble top doesn’t look right. One awesome build for sure 👍😎
Right on...Thanks for checking it out Brother!!
Super nice! Not knowing much about those impalas the top looked amazing, after seeing them side by side I can imagine why it is hard for the collectors. Still not sure on what and how it is improving on it, but it does look beautiful!
All a really smooth car and a nice feature for St.Patrick's day!
Nice job on the production of this!
Thanks for checking it out!!
This is like taking the stock Impala and treating it as a starting point. The factory couldn’t hand build them or they would have lost money. Doing something like this is taking the car as it came from the factory and then putting the work into it to hand build it the way the factory couldn’t take the time to do as it came down the assembly line.
That Dirty Martini is spectacular Well Done Gentleman.
Glad You liked it!!
Very nice 61 Imp! 👍🏾
For sure Brother...Thanks for checking it out!
Speechless Scottie Success. 🌹 A1 AGAIN . Hot Rod of the year ?

Have to acknowledge this is an unbelievable build that is in the top tier build kingdom. But I think you honestly outdid yourself on the video. Open, closed, underside, inside and side by side with commentary. I could be wrong but I think this is your best video ever brother. Like the car the video is fully next level
Thank You Brother.....Glad You enjoyed it....Lot of work by all involved...Including Dan...He worked His butt off to pay for all this!!
truly a work of art. loving the longer videos too. keep it up, Scottie!
Thank You...Glad You enjoyed it Brother!!

I had a 1961 Chevy Bubbletop, 427 4 speed in 1969! I graduated high school and had to have a new car, what a mistake!! Now I can’t afford have one!!!
lol....Thanks for checking this one out here!!
The trim and glass laying flush is astounding. I would like to know how many man hours are in that detail. Wow
Lots...lol...Thanks for checking it out!!
WOW
Right on!
Dang man, you had me drooling over this 61. I drove a 61 Biscuit 4 years that I paid $100.00 for in 1974. The previous owner had put a 327 in it and my master mechanic Brother in law replaced the 3 on the tree with a 4 speed then to a 350 turbo. The problem with those heavy weights are 1, the center support bearing and 2, the rear end. I must have pulled the axles out 3 times, and replaced that CSB 3 times too. I sure had fun in it. I sold it for $400.00. I never knew the Biscayne would hand the popularity it did. I knew the Impala would though. The Dirty Martini is awesome. 🍸
Glad You liked it Brother!!
Wow
Right on!!
Looks better than stock roof
Thanks for checking it out...Glad You liked it!!!
Let's put an hourly rate converted to the total cost to build. $250,000-500,000 at $25-50 per hour?
Burn the receipts....You ant taken it back..lol
I think I missed or could not fully understand what he said about the modifications to this Car because my inexperience. It would give this Car more justice if an animator could reconstruct what was done to it so the viewers would have a better understanding of all the modifications.
That's as good as I can do Brother...
@@ScottieDTV There are a lot of Animators that might do it for free for the experience and advertising. Definitely another project.
Though I'm partial to the Bel Air w/its "unadorned" look & 4 (not 6) tail lights.
Cool!
Sooooooo sliiicckk
Glad You liked it!!
That car would be my choice for a Ridler Award !!! There is NOTHING on that car I do not like !!!
WOW!!..That is saying something Mike...Glad You liked it Brother!!
I have one bubble top 1962 chevrolet bel air original
Cool!
😍😍😍
Right on!!
Bad to the bone 🍖😍
Right on...Glad You liked it!!
What size wheels and tires are you running they look nice
All I know is in the video....sorry
They are 20X8.5 up front and 20X12 out back
Curious what did you do to the front bumper it is not the same
All I know is in the video...sorry
It is a stock bumper that we took the bends out of. Basically we just straighten it out
One K😎😎L Kar
For sure Brother....
How much does this dirty martini 🍸 sell for
I never ask price...But I would think You could buy a very nice new car for what it cost just to do the work to the roof....
it's clean but I don't like it because it's missing trim and emblems.
Thanks for checking it out!
That ride is so nasty
Glad You liked it!!
BTW everyone. Ugly NO MORE!
Thanks for checking it out!!
