Just finished my cal's. They turned out resonably well.

Good job man! I love it when people figure out that they don't have to spend over $300 to get something like that! I'll bet you didn't even come close to $75 to make them, did you?

They look good!
 
Mikesduster, I'll make you some. But I wouldn't want to be nailed for copying a company's Product.
 
Sweet! I was thinking of copying the ones I think I saw at BigBlockDart.com. Nice job! :axe:
 
will adding anothing main leaf help traction?

im tight on cash at the moment
 
I made a set of the three link system for my dart off of Bigblockdart.com and they worked out pretty good. I would have made some cal-tracks before but I had nothing to go off of. The three link cost me about $75 for everything and a little bit of time. Mike I said it was from this site in the P.M. but I forgot were I was for a moment.:)

And about 2 months ago, my cousin bought a set of cal-tracks, so now I can make an xact replica for my car if I want.:)
 
littleman66: You can't add an actual main leaf without cutting the eyes off the extra leaf. However, having your springs re-arched and gettting an extra leaf installed will definitely help both traction and ride, as welll as bringing the car's ride height back to original. I had mine done at McCoy Bros. in Edmonton about 18 years ago and they're still lookin' good. Cost at that time, with new U bolts and lock nuts was $110.00 CDN.
