I like the upper control arms.

Yeah Hotchkis makes some really nice stuff. But I won't run heims again on the street. Not for the UCA's at the very least. My Challenger ate its first set of Hotchkis heim joints after only 7k miles. And while Hotchkis was nice enough to replace them free of charge, the replacement set is starting to "click" again after about the same number of miles, even with the protective boots they sell now on them.

For the street, bushings are the way to go unless you like replacing heim joints and doing alignments all the time.
 
Finally got the Moser axles and installed the rear disc brakes.
Ordered a new fuel tank from Hot Rod City Garage with a Walbro electric pump.
I'm only running a carb right now, but will switch to EFI in the future.

It's been a while since I posted any progress pics. I have been working hard on this as well as our drag truck. Almost got it done.

The car looks really good! Those wheels I think we're a good choice as they go well with the car.
I actually live near Grand Junction, maybe ill see this car one day.
