I am building a display to showcase some of my parts and have a better visual of how things work. I will have this done over the next couple of weeks and take it to MATS in my booth.

It starts with cutting up a perfectly good although slightly rusty 73 Dart. Look away if you have a weak stomach. :D

I plan on welding in my J bars with landings to the shock mount location as well as welding in the coilover hoops to show both options.

This is the color that I am thinking about going with. It's left over from my truck when I painted it. It's Dark Carbon Fiber Metallic.

That display will be the hot ticket, and I bet you will pickup some customers with it.
 
Looking forward to seeing it all and meeting you at MATS.
 
The editor of Mopar Muscle just emailed me and said that he will be stopping by to take a look at them. I better have my stuff together.
 
I built my stand over the weekend. It is 100% stainless. 2" square. It cost a couple of bucks. :D

I wanted a design that would catch people's eye and also tie into the bracing, so I chose the cut off section of lower radiator support. It is held in by one 1/2" shoulder bolt and comes apart easily. What do you think?

I see you removed the whole shock tower in Third pic, Reason?

Never mind just not paying attention, But it's looking good.
 
Wow, this is really going to be cool!!! Too bad you're so far away ... I'd love to coat that for you when it's finished. People NEED to see this!!

Either way Badart, I wish you the absolute best of luck with your business. It shines through that you've worked very hard to get this far, and now the sky's the limit. You'll make us all proud.
 
Good luck with this, you make good stuff.
I had a chance the other day to see some of your parts that you sold a FABO member here locally.
Great quality. :thumbup:

I do plan on swapping the Barracuda to coilovers and triangulated shock hoops. Some day.
 
Hoping to have a picture up this week. I have mocked them up, but trying to make sure everything is right before posting up pictures. I am offering a few more options than most others...hopefully that will be a good thing. We'll see.
 
Hey Badart---

I got my LCA's today. HOLY SMOKES!!!!! They look awesome. Im super pumped to have these on my car.

I have a feeling guys where I live will ask me where I got these. If its ok with you im going to forward your screen name and this website. Have you considered a business card to send out with your product?? Id pass them out like candy for you.

Im looking forward to your setup so I can order more parts haha!

Hey all: Superb parts made by an outstanding guy! Thanks for everything Badart!

Wow, thanks. If you keep that up I might get a good reputation around here. If you have any questions just give me a call.
 
Change of plans on the paint color of the inner fender assy. Going with Bright Orange Metallic. I'm a sucker for metallics. That should get some attention. Here is the color.

I have just been filling some holes in the sheet metal, putting down some filler and seam sealer (don't know why) LOL. Hoping to have it painted next week.
