Hey guys I wanted to share the work I did over the 4th of July and the work I did leading up to the 4th of July.
Long story short, I picked up a 73 Duster K Frame and I installed the Firm Feel stiffening kit and I welded all the seams and went over the factory welds too. Before I did all that, I had the K Frame sandblasted and after I was done with all the welding, I had it powder coated.
I had to pretty much reassemble the whole suspension and steering system. That consists of Helwig sway bar, poly lower bushings, stock upper control arm with offset bushings. While I was at it, I also installed a Borgeson steering box. I made sure to torque everything to spec and use lock-tite too.
I had it aligned to 0* camber, 3.5* caster and 1/8" toe. It drives so much better than before. Way tighter.
Now I need better wheels and tires and sub frame connectors.
