The steering shaft was a fun chore, reworking it to clear the headers. Tamura knew he would run into multiple challenges along the way, but he was ready to solve them as the build progressed. Custom upper and lower control arms were constructed utilizing 6-inch hydraulic cylinders with custom one-off mounting cups to help clear the Classic Performance Products (CPP) brake setup. Instead of just simply lowering the car and utilizing hydraulics and calling it a day, they decided to go the extra mile and build a truly one-off creation by channelingВ the Impala and building everything from the ground up. One of the first things you notice is the ultimate low, pavement huggingВ stance. As you can see, this isnвЂ™t your normal вЂњSix-FoвЂќ Impala build by any means. When it came time that Horizon вЂ™64 was up for sale Kamal was first in a very long line of would be вЂњsuitorsвЂќ as this car was now known worldwide.ДЄfter quickly selling his car, Kamal was able to slap down the yen needed to obtain the rights to his dream car.

Tamura, is no stranger to the custom car culture, specifically lowriders and has built numerous full customs that have appeared in Lowrider MagazineВ and others. Now, Kamal was on the hunt for the perfect lowrider to cruise the streets of Japan and his search was over when he found Horizon вЂ™64. Kamal Fernando, the current owner of this super SlamвЂ™dВ body-dropped Impala, picked up the car from the original builder/owner Mr. Photos: Mike Alexander | Words: Jason Ballard | Model:В Mai Kishino Read along as we provide the details on Kamal FernandoвЂ™s 1964 Chevy Impala вЂ“ the Horizon вЂ™64 straight from the streets of Japan. One of these songs, still widely played today, was Ice CubeвЂ™s вЂњIt Was a Good DayвЂќ which plays well with lowriders and classics, and is especially fitting for this beautiful 1964 ImpalaВ featured here. The term вЂњsix-foвЂќ is mentioned throughout these two decades of music and appears in some of the most iconic hip-hop tracks and music videos of all time.

How coeds with hairstyles inspired by the eraвЂ™s Koosh Ball would clamber over the doors and spill out onto a southern California beach, ready for volleyball or tormenting the goth, Ally Sheedy-esque loner. Think about that tippy fixture of late-Eighties high school rom-coms.
