My rear is identical to a 9C1 Cop car.
Impalas are an Inch shorter per side as they came with Wide Tires.

Don Compolito Impala has a 12 Bolt with Drum Brakes.
Wonder who made his?

Tell me where to find them?
Nobody builds a 12 bolt for my car!
Yet a few have been installed.
There is Zero Documentation...plus want to maintain the Rear Disk Brakes.

Any competent chassis shop can put a 12 bolt under your car and be legal for stock eliminator.

FWIW Checked with Maryland High Performance...
They can do it for me and keep the Disk Brakes.

Also can add the Roll Bar...

Appreciate everyone help.
