Thats beautiful, and I wish prices like that existed where I am. I was quoted $600 to do 4 wheels a year ago, I cant imagine a chassis.

Boy do I have progress updates that are months behind on here. Ive been a bit more active on RCC as far as updates go and Ive been doing nearly everything I set my sights on. Im at the final stages of my control arms, something I need to finish and install on my chassis so I can move it around...

It's a chassis and brake shop, we work on RVs and trailers. My boss is a huge Mopar nut so I fit in good. All the trucks there are his with the exception of the other 2 guys that have a truck or two also

My boss is all over it. More cool stuff will come, I'm gonna start filming my side jobs. Hopefully an A body is in my future. If I keep doing side jobs like I am I'll have plenty saved up. Looking forward to March Meets this year to hunt for some Mopar stuff

Got an update, Im one step closer now.

Got an update. The plasma cutting machine on the CNC table is bust. I just started getting it to cut decent but then it would stop cutting through. Tells me the amperage was dropping as it was in use. I updated the design and will have 3 basic packages for this setup if testing goes well: A...

Im getting somewhere with these control arms. And I am very unqualified to be using a CNC plasma cutter lol

Got an update on my side project. The jig was completed, and I have a rough draft of control arms for Wilwood MII pro spindles and brake kit. Im still gathering things to bring about a final part in my hands, and I got a couple of Cummins powered trucks to thrash on with these for strength...

I believe I forgotten to post here on the update. But Ill keep it short! I got the front chassis off a wrecked truck and I can start making a Jig for making control arms to work with those Mustang 2 drop spindles. I have to use Wilwood pro spindles unless I find another MII spindle with a bolt...

I lost the shop. But I also got a new shop. I dont know what can and cant be done at this moment. Here's the update video, and Im selling a toolbox, its at the end of the video.

Well, $961. And a wilwood rear kit for the next rear axle is available as well. I have plans for the universal wilwood booster and master cylinder with a proportion valve. The entire brake system is being rebuilt from scratch, on an upcoming video

Correct, that's who I was looking at. The only downside is needing 17" wheels. But it's an option, Corvette brakes are very light weight, and an affordable way to get a big brake kit. I think I will go with the MII bearing style and get the Wildwood 11 inch brake kit from summit racing for my...

I am doing things properly to keep spring rates right in the rear, I won't need to notch my frame as I won't be loading weight in the bed. After some more research I may be able to weld in the threaded rings for K772 ball joint into the van lower control arms as an option if I want to keep stock...

As much as I would like to keep it Mopar, sometimes you have to go with what you know fits. SRT is too new for this truck! A sway bar that mounts to the control arms instead of the tension struts would be a good thing. My truck didn't have a sway bar when I got it, never put much thought into...

I wanted sealed bearings and better brakes, and to stand out with something unique. Lowering springs need increased spring rate to prevent bottoming out, because any lower and you ride on the bump stops, thats why they get cut off. Van LCAs let you keep the spring rate of the stock springs, but...
