Re: '59 Chevy Impala

The wheels will look better once they are painted to go with the scheme of the car. At least to me... As they are now, they look out of place.


I decided to lower the front by about 0.060 of an inch by removing the spring bosses in the lower control arms. Then I raised the rear by about the same amount by making new coil springs. Not a lot of difference, but enough to see and the rocker is no longer parallel to the ground.

The tailpipes interfered with the larger rear wheels so I cut them off and made them exit in front of the wheel wells. I also filled the mounting indentations in the frame for the tailpipe hangars. The exhaust system was intentionally distressed.
