July/30/26 "Nothing Else Matters" - Update
In an effort to get the build of "Nothing Else Matters" exactly the way we want it, Brandon completely re-engineered the front strut mounting location of our '60 Impala to lower the nose 2 inches. This involved much more than just fabricating new upper strut mounts. Many hours were spent recalibrating angles throughout the full range of suspension travel which included the construction of jigs to get all his angles correct before welding in place.

This process included the fabrication of new steering rack mounts to relocate the rack as to eliminate any bump steer in the 6 inches of travel with our remote reservoir 90/10 struts. All well worth the time and effort spent...

We just acquired ourselves a nostalgic 283 with some pretty cool history. Some of you may remember this old power plant from the Hotrod with the giant golf clubs in Coulson's showroom at Crown Isl. Looks good in Mitch's S-10...

June 22/26 "Nothing Else Matters" - Update
Our '60 Impala project has achieved yet another mile marker. Brandon has completed the construction of our full floating differential. Shown here are photos of the process starting with a chromoly Chris Alston Fab-9 housing. Once shortened to our desired length the 4 bar mounts are welded in place and braced before both custom cut back braces as well as lower tube cross braces were welded in place. The Strange Engineering full floater ends were then machined to fit before being welded in place. Then the back brace ends were fabricated for a perfect fit and welded in place before primed.

June 5/26 "Nothing Else Matters" - Update
As the week comes to a close I thought I'd share a few shots of our Impala's rear suspension mocked in place (less coils). Featured here are our Vari-Shock remote reservoir shocks with the reservoir mounted on Brandon's brackets shown earlier, along with our splined anti-roll bar mounted in place.

Photos of the construction of the Anti-roll bar were also posted in a much earlier post (Dec 2/25). The diff itself is now back out of the chassis for completion.
