      Nice build ! Is that Magnaflows exhaust kit for our impalas? What size tires and wheels are you running on the back ?

      Thanks

      Thank you.
      The exhaust started out as Magnaflow exhaust kit, I had to buy 6 extra 90 deg and a couple of 45's and cut and make changes.
      A couple extra hangers.
      Rear rims and tires are 20x11's with 295-30-20. I did narrow the rear end 2" each side.

      I founds some nice low back power bucket seats and made brackets to bolt into factory location. Now build a center console and then off to interior shop. Name:  61552516041__CA5EC01D-8D36-470F-96C1-EB703F16E4C2.jpg

      Great car.

      If I can ask a couple of questions...

      When you added the second upper trailing arm on the rear did you have to fabricate a bracket or did you simply aquire a second OEM on and bolt it on the chassis?

      Second, who makes the billet hood hinges?

      Thanks.
      I have a 60 wagon and you thread is inspiring.

      Adding 2nd rear upper trailing arm: I had to drill holes in frame and installed a bracket supplied by Ride Tech as far as the rear end side, I had to weld on a bracket to housing supplied by Ride Tech.

      Eddie Motor Sport billet hood hinges. FYI They don't fit good at all. Looks great but at their lowest setting the hood sits up at least 3/8" at the wiper cowl. Sat perfect with stock hinges.
      I have pictures and measurements into Eddie Motors sports. If I don't hear anything I will modify them to fix that gap, but at $600 I shouldn't have to.
      Or take them off and throw them away and make a set.

      Just finished the interior, here are some pictures

      She drives great. Got 400 miles on her.
      Now I want more. When I built the LS2 I built it for boost. So New Currie 9" ordered.
      Also ordered Edelbrock super charger. Both should be here this week.
      Some current pictures of under the car, before out with the old.

      Outstanding build!! What are those bucket seats out of? Looking for something for my 62 that has a low back and not overly shaped so still looks like it belongs. Also, how difficult was it to fab up brackets? I have not had the bench out yet to see how flat the floor is and what I’ll ha e to work with. Thanks in advance!

      Thank you.
      Front seat are out a 1996 Toyota Avalon. They fit great. Perfect size.
      Mounting them, i used all the factory spots on the Impala and factory brackets from Toyota. I welded 3/8 metal plates to the floor at the factory seat location with nuts welded in, so they bolt right into the factory floor. I can see if I have picture.
      Do not get the Avalon seats with memory......
      I also have these seats now in my chevelle and 55 bel air.
