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.

May 1/26 "Nothing Else Matters" - Update
Brandon has been busy fabricating our Impala's full floater rear end. Using a Chris Alston Fab-9 housing and Strange Engineering internals he is customizing everything for our application. Constructed to take the 2500+ HP we plan to throw at it, this rear end complete with its custom fabricated 4 link suspension set-up is proving to be a lot of work, but wait 'til you see it done.
