"03HDFB" 71 Duster...Hotchkis Bars, Shocks and Comp Eng. Subframes

[03HDFB]

Started Working thru the Larger Brown Box Installs....The car is truly coming along!
I worked this last weekend....Installing the Comp Eng. Subframe Connectors, Front and Rear Hotchkis Sway Bars, Hotchkis Tuned Shocks and modifying all the Bump Stops for the Current Ride Height. It looks like the Traction bars will have to go....just too close to the ground!!
Front: 24.6" tall tire sitting at 23.5" fender Lip to Ground
Rear: 26.7" Tall Tire sitting at 25" fender lip to Ground
the car is a blast to drive now.....and the Bbody disk seem to be just enough brake to drive
it on the edge of the envelope!! Time to start working the EFI now!

What are the specs on the tires and wheels? (Size, offset, etc.)

What rear axle are you running?

Looks great! Really like the stance and wheels!

Thanks.....Its coming along as planned. I truly love the Color 2008 Chrysler Sublime Green...The pearl really comes out
when the sun hits it. I forgot to mention what was used to get the rear at 25"....New Factory leaf springs and 2" blocks!
I've swapped all the bulbs in and around the car to LED's except the dash....I hope to finish those this weekend. I'll get a
good pic of that.....It should look killer....I swapped one bulb already that I could reach without pulling the dash....the brightness
is perfect!!


Here's a night shot...With the old Bulbs!

Crappy Pic....But you can see the Pearl coming out in this shot!
