and cranked up the torsion bars a bit. I think it sits much better.

Turned out real nice!!! Happy cruising

I love the tire combo you have there. What size shoes (and wheel offset) are you running?

 

[ImperialCruiser]

195-70-14 on the front, 225-70-14 on the rear. All 4 wheels are 7-inch wide standard offset Americans. No rubs front or rear.

Installed ADDCO sway bars, front and rear today. New KYB shocks at the rear. I need to change out the 9-inch brakes (for 10's) and freshen up the front end. I will be upgrading to V-8 torsion bars then as well. Oh, I was able to find a nifty "B" body pistol grip shifter that fits in pretty good. I'll post some updated pics soon. Thanks for all the positive comments. Scott:happy1:

Drum brakes be gone! I scored a set of disc brakes with the small bolt pattern. Time to upgrade to a dual circuit system.

Here's the pistol grip, trunk mat and sway bar installs. Also got the interior dome lights to work with the door switches. Next up will be to replace the lens' in the tail lights and install some door rubber parts. Picked up an OD 4-speed and bell housing. Still need to upgrade the brakes, and freshen up the front suspension.

ops:Chrome valve cover has since been replaced with an Offy.

With mixed emotions, I have sold my car. It's new owner is in New Zealand. I guess I'll have to see what's available at the MOPAR Spring Fling on the 21st. Thanks to everyone on FABO for your compliments on this car, it was both fun to build and to cruise around in. Happy motoring. Scott:burnout:
