DOES THE HDK SUSPENSION K-MEMBER HANDLE BETTER THAN A T-BAR SUSPENSION?

Please don't take offence to my questions . As I said before, I don't have any agenda here, just inquisitive.

1. What shop built the car and who was involved?

I understand the engine is a stroker motor, approx 535 HP to the crank and was built by Greg Bigford of Auto design.

2. I see the taxi as a purpose built auto crosser , assisted by Hotchkiss to represent their products which it does very well. Hence all the Hotchkiss advertising spread over the car's exterior.

3. As I stated before, I have no issue with the fact that anyone can buy the parts to replicate this car. I was interested in who actually was involved with building it, that's all.

No offense taken.

1. The car was built by Kevin Wesley back in 2012 in his RV storage building on jack stands. He had never welded before but bought a 110V welder to weld in the rear sway bar tabs and subframe connectors. Bolted on all the suspension parts, brakes, engine and transmission in the same shop. It got put on an alignment rack one time back in 2012 and the alignement hasn't been touched since.

1970 Plymouth Satellite - The Cab Ride

In 2013 it went to Popular Hot Rodding's Muscle Car of The Year event to do battle in it's Torsion Bars vs. The World trim and finshed 2nd in the autocross portion of the event due to the MSD box shorting out in the corners and the wrong choice of tire used. The Duster entered in the event had a full array of RMS coil over suspension ffront and rear underneath it. LOL! Torsion bars 1 - Coil overs 0

2013 Muscle Car of the Year

The engine was a 452" big block that probably made about that power. Nothing fancy or exotic.

2. It's is not a purpose built auto crosser. LOL! What all else do you think is done to it? There's no roll cage or anything in it. It was built to do burnouts and have fun in. All of which it will do again one of these days. But will it be better when it does emerge from it's slumber?
