I agree. It’s my favorite part of any vehicle project. This is why on this car I wanted all oem pieces, not an aftermarket kit (understanding that replacement parts are not always correct, but still) This was my first try with balancing beads on anything smaller than a class B, but I since did...

If you look back at the finished pictures, you’ll see awesome vintage Astro slots with chrome push through bullets. While checking everything again, a buddy said, “run it without those bullets and see”. Well, guess what……..

Did all that. The consensus here was bigger bars need tougher rate shocks. I DO need to go get the front tires balance checked. I used beads like I do on rigs at work but who knows ‍♂️

I finally got around to getting under there to redo the rear adjustment, and the stupid lowering blocks have the shock plate right in the way‍ so today I’ll pull the wheels and get really into it. If the rears are too far in, then it wouldn’t allow the metering valve to engage soon enough. This...

Stock location. Non bedded pads could feel soft while driving, but the pedal feels softs while sitting in the driveway

Looks like it’s right out of CarCraft magazine!
