Q's for my Fellow Mopar Brothers

AJ/FormS · May 21, 2022

I put those on my first Barracuda, in 1976. She was a '69/904/7.25/with a fresh 225.
With adapters and airshocks, lol. Also with a 2800TC, 2.76s, and a manual shift.
I had Zero tirespin under every circumstance, and NO Suregrip, lol.
Roadtrips were fairly quiet except the tires excited the natural body harmonic at 55/60 and that created a constant woo-woo-woo. We had to drive with the windows part-ways down to let it out.

My one and only visit to The Islands 1980, I made a comment to a friendly local about the cars on the island. "Well, you either have one made before 1969 or a new cheap import. Everything in between is getting ready to leave you stranded when it rusts in half." was his response :rofl:

Anyone got a set of axle bearings and seals for sale
Can't seem to find any in Hawaii at the moment
Needed for my resplined axles

Well Boys, it's getting closer
Little more adjustments
Not sure if I like the stance
Thinking I might put the lowering blocks back in
But now I need longer u-bolts

Might not be they way ya'll would have done it, but I like the way it turning out

Well you know, our friends down under love them more door cars. I think they actually like them better than their two door counterparts. It's comin along good, Chris! I like it!

if you really want to improve the stance, you should put those spring on TOP of the axle, instead of beneath it

If only I could find a 2dr. damn near impossible to find it Hawaii ! But I'm happy with the way its looking. Already had and offer for 8k for it when its done. Think I will hold out , or at least keep her for a few months of driving in Style. Haha

Sorry, only way I do that ! Is if I could find a straight axle for it. Then maybe i would make a gasser out of it. Not really a fan of a High *** car

fair nuf,

i like a little slope on a car, specially a classic like ours
be curious to see what it looks like properly sitting on all fours

More door cars need to be in the weeds. Put the blocks back in. It will look so good that low with the big tires stuffed under it.

Has a slight slope, it's not bad.
But I like the body a little over the rear tire a bit more.
Not slammed or anything close, just tucked in just right. Haha
