This is a great thread guys, lots of really nice looking stuff in here. I am hopefully going to pick up my '63 this weekend. I am thinking of converting it to a different form of "stock suspension". I might do a 25.3 chassis with a torque arm.
Right now this is just a though because I haven't actually laid underneath one of these cars yet.
Has anyone ever taken the front wheel wells out? Or is that not possible with the stock front suspension configuration? Anyone have any more pictures of the stock front suspension?
Is it a strut rod type like the old Impalas? Or is there still two lower control arm mounting locations?

A frame on top with a single arm with strut on bottom. The fenderwell is welded in & is part of the unit body strength.
