I may do this mod soon. Getting bored now that the car is done. Smitty's in Hemet should be able to handle that task and load it in cans as well.

Nice work! There has got to be someone who can mix up the factory color paint for stuff like that? I know it has a bumpy type flat finish on it but someone has to do it right?

Lookin good!

If you are going to lower the car. You need as much adjustment as possible. I just went through this with RMS Uppers. Ladder Bar Rear with RMS Uppers with Heims & RMS Strut Rods with Heims.

I knew you were on it like that!

**** looks good! Is there a taper in that lower rod end to accept the ball joint?

Any kit you buy you are going to have to massage it in all areas. I bought a kit from http://autoweldchassis.com/rbc.ivnu for the Scamp.... He had to bend me a new Halo because it did not fit correctly. The newer cars headliner "1973" hangs a bit lower than older A bodies. I bought there 8...

Looks like a Robot welded it! Nice work!

Yes I understand your position...... But then again this stuff is simply stronger no if ands or butts about it. If you don't agree that is your opinion. Sounds like your another it has to be all stock purist. **** that.

Looks like Chromoly to me. Still Tig welded and they are thick.

Lol..... Way stronger than the stock crap is all I got to say about that! Chromoly Tig welded and I am pretty sure it is .120 Wall. Stock is stamped mild steel spot welded...... Lol

Looking good!

Pay all that $$ and you will only be able to run a stock size tire as far as width. All that stuff they added is right in the way of bigger tires, Mini tub will not help you out of this situation. Sounds like a waste of cash to me. Show stopper, parking lot hopper parts we have here.

The 3rd member is almost worth $800.00 , You should be running to buy it. Truck Axles are fine re splined. They should be good for more power than you will be throwing at them. 4.30 is fine depending on how tall your tire is. May be a lil much on the street but who cares for the price. 742 Case...

70aarcuda has had great success with that K member. Think his is a CAP but QA1 purchased them about 2 years or so ago.

No such thing as too low!

The pinion angle is not going to change as much as you think. Maybe 1* using poly urethane bushings. Solid rod ends it's not going to move at all. A body's and coil overs the max the suspension will move during travel is about 2 1/4" each way from ride height. IF it does move then you have your...

Hmmm, I've had them both ways. I can not tell the difference. The car I have now has split mono leafs too and I still don't notice body roll as one would think. I put hella miles on it too.

Full Interior. 12pt cage, mini tubbed. Bench Seat etc, etc. I have a complete build thread in my signature below.

I have caltracs right now with -1 springs on it. I also had them roll the front eyelet so it comes off toward the top at the front of the spring. I was told that gives another 1/2" Right now it has 15x12's on the rear with a 7.5 back space. 315/60/15 Drag Radials that are wore to the core! I...

Just drill a new relocate hole in the spring perch. If you orderer new springs you can have them relocate the centering pin. As stated above your Drive Shaft may now be too short.

Diff year there Scott. I'm sure a 29" tall tire will fit in his wheel well without moving the axle centerline. It just depends on how low you set the rear.

I don't know why you would do that. You can get a 28" tall tire in tbe stock wheel well without moving the axle anywhere. Minitub with axle in stock location I have used 325/50/15's & the rear of the cars wheel lip is 2.5" down on the rim burried... Car sits real low with no rubbing

+1" springs raises the car 1" from stock. Block is used to bring it back for some reason. I would order -1 springs. I did on my mono leafs plus I had them start the bend different on tbe front eyelet to gain another 1/2" there also. No block required.

If you want a lifted car use them. I would keep the old if it were me. Low is a go! I would keep the 6 torsion bars in it also. Hey but again that is just my thought for my intended use. 90/10 caltrac shocks up front and some caltac 9 ways in in the rear.

I learned from the High Speed, High Horsepower sand rail gig to always check your car before going out on a Run. I make it a habit to check my wheel lugs just about every time I take the car out. YES I have found them loose on several occasions, especially after a night of whooping it up...

I met a guy at the Barona Drags. Old School Mopar guy that makes his own Tubular K Frame with a Pinto Rack that keeps the Torsion Bars in place. A few years ago he was selling them to Summit 80 at a time. They then put in an order for 900 of them and he stepped away from it, he was heavily...

On my 73 Scamp I have 15x12's with a 4.5" Backspace. 315/60/15 Drag Radial Face of Drum to Face of Drum the total width is 50.25" The wheel lip is trimmed on it in addition to the mini tub. On my 67 Dart I have 15x10's with 5.5 Backspace. 325/50/15's Drag Radial Rotor Hat to Rotor Hat the...

Length of the axles depends on the housing length. Are you going to shorten the housing? Most do when mini tubbing. Otherwise you are going to have a hard time putting the wider tires on it because you will need to have a radical Back Space.
