    Subframe Connectors

    I know the best way of attaching subframe connectors is by welding but has anyone trying fastening a set with epoxy and bolts? I thought it might make the frame stiffer than bolts alone.

    Magnum Force forward strut kit installation

    I picked up an unused Magnum Force forward strut kit for Mopar A-bodies (Dart and Barracuda) but there was no instructions with it, and he wasn't sure if it came with any. Does anyone have installation instructions or are carguys supposed to 'wing' it??

    Modifying racing suspension

    My 68 Barracuda has a front racing suspension that I want to convert for street use. Everything seems to be overkill on it but the extra long hiem is causing the main problems. Can this setup be converted to street or am I better off in selling it and buying a street kit?

    lower control arm clearance

    Well since I don't plan to do wheelies and I have to be able to turn as I live on a close, I guess I'll have to change the suspension.

    lower control arm clearance

    Right now everything is a bit loose as that's the way it came from the painters. Right now only the spacer is hitting the rim. I'll take everything apart tomorrow to see what the hell is going on.

    lower control arm clearance

    My Barracuda has a Mustang II suspension with disc brakes and the lower control arms rubs against both tires. The car has the LBP and I'd like to use 15 inch Ralley rims (4 1/2 inch set back) that I got off an E body but I have clearance issues even with rims with a 4 inch set back, though the...
