1963 impala

[LILBuzzy]

12 years after being imprisoned in storage building # 12 I am headed in a new direction with an old project. Was once headed toward the NMCA. Now I'm headed in the pro touring direction. We'll see what happens.

Yeah I know, we work quick....I am replying via cell phone from the paint booth. Trying to get it squirted and buffed before tomorrow morning. Think you could have my interior done by lunch tomorrow?

Morrison GT IFS, 3 link rear based on stock set up. Nine inch was modified for drag racing but I am going with a watts link now. Already has coil overs and adjustability built in (it was so slick last century ) . IE two piece drive shaft. I trying to con Blake from Speedtech into making some bars for the rear, but I am going to get the front where I want it first. 14 inch wilwoods on the front. Back will most likely match the front. Undecided on 18's, 19's or staggered 18's and 19's. Minitub the rear, and a custom fuel tank. Fuel injected 409 of some sort for power, and an RS 600 from Keisler. Keeping most of the cage and the rest of the interior is a mystery. Just want to get it rolling. Here are a couple of rear susupension shots.

Sounds cool!!!! I am calling Blake tomorrow about sway bars for my '61. I would personally go 19 up front and 20 in the rear, I have 18 and 20 stagger and find the 18's too small for the larger wheel well on the fulsize cars. Just a personal opinion though I thinkit will look killer regardless of wheel size. Keep it up and I will be following this build. Keep the updates and specs comin!!!!!
