Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel....

My 70 is going in an HR
to a Mopar buddy who is rebuilding the entire front suspension
Bilstein gas shocks
1.03 PST torsion bars
New ball joints upper and lower
KB 7103 offset upper control arm bushings for more caster
Polygraphite lower control arm bushings
Factory KelseyHays discs
Factory front sway bar
16:1 fast ratio manual steering box

Then it's going to the exhaust shop for 3 exhaust system with Borla stainless mufflers attached to Doug's headers

Everything is small stuff after that

After 14 yrs it's about time I got it on the road !!

I like how you did the engine. Looks snatched right out of the 70s. Old school.

Where are you having the 3 inch exhaust exit?

 

[Brooks James]

Good question, there maybe some gas tank bending/surgery, pipes straight out the back

That's exactly the effect I'm trying to create Thanks

 

[sabre67]

Yes there will be, the right side for sure

 

[Brooks James]

I'd like to run these out back but I'd have to cut the valence for it to look right
Ideas ??

[Dartsun]

Awesome it’s going to sound great with the Doug’s and Borlas.

Old suspension coming out today, changing PS to manual 16:1 box, new everything.incl 1.03 Torsion Bars,
Gas shocks

8 3/4 axle
3.91 742 case sure grip chunk going in soon, built by SGBARRACUDA, RIP

 

[Brooks James]

Damn close now

 

[Brooks James]

Stance is a little to high at 26 1/4 floor to fender, what's factory ?
Mind you it has tightly clamped slant 6 leaf springs, is that affecting the stance ?

 

[mygasser]

looks good to me
