The more I look at my drivers side front fender, the more I was counting the hours in my head to fix the dents. Im not any kind of autobody mechanic thats for sure Im guessing a good autobody guy would make short work of it, but when I really looked at it, I seen some serious deflection in a...

I bet spraying it with some cleaner would do it. I was thinking of just pulling the valves and checking the clearance on the valves.. Ive heard some say the bronze guides are tight and need honing. Some like to run the car with one spring when breaking in a flat tappet cam. Im running roller...

Here's the corrected version

Good morning. Here's the build sheet. I measured the existing perch center to center and the worksheet they sent seem to match there calculations within1/8" or less. On the car currently, I measured 43-1/4" center of perch to center of perch. Inward half an inch on either side was the...

I would admit I not with the ability to advise, but I did read just a bit on some of that movement recently and found this interesting although, Im not a source of knowlage or fact on the matter. I never realized the leaf spring actually steer ...lol (just something Ive read;) Leaf Springs...

Good evening, and more mopar parts are for sure good. Fun Update today, Finalized and signed off for Moser to build the rear end. I have to say, They are awsome to deal with. We know theres a sliding scale when it comes to customer service. They get a perfect 10. They are beyond good, please...

I spoke with Peter from Bergman, and I certainly do not want to speak on his behalf, but He convinced me, if you want the car to really perform go 18" wheels at least, my words not his but. I do like the centerline wheels, all time classic beautiful wheels. Tire roll and sidwall play a part I...

After measuring the car this seems very close to accurate for my situation, only real difference is we decided 18 in wheels ..not 15 as I previously mentioned) as of right now, we hope to go with 18x8 rear with 4.5 backspacing 17x7 front (have not measured actually space yet but 4.5 is...

very good point Im going to measure today, but We Have a bit of the chicken and the egg sinerio. I have 2 option with wheels. Buy something off the self, or custom order a set of wheels. Last build I did I ordered custom Budnick wheels, measured thoughly and they fit well, very expensive. Wheels...

that thats a good color too, sort of midnight green?

That looks great! the front profile photo of the green barracuda, really shows he got the back spacing right. its tight under the car, that what I like too

Thats a really good point. What your sort of saying is : what I should do, Is go rip off the back tire, toss a straight edge onto the rear drum extended high enough so I can measure the distance from the face of the drum to the nearest obstruction (ie frame rail) then I know my maximum back...

ok guys, More thought on the matter and I do agree. Lets do someting a bit more modern, I found one I like , comes in all kinds of sizes. Heres the options Ive narrowed it down and need help with final selection. Rear wheels are always more fun.. Lets start there (rear end is being custom...

:rofl::lol::popcorn::steering:I want one! The tires didnt even squeal once. thats an incredible build right there..and that was a cop. reminds me of cannon ball run, my money is on your car..thats great

Thats some really incredible fabrication skills right there. l like how he cut the crossmember with the mindset of reinstalling it after. oldschool, wow. He brought back the same level of integrity it began with, or more.
