Finished the lower control arms in my 67 Barracuda. New shafts and Delrin bushings from Bergman. I decided that I might as well try their adjustable strut rods, too, so I ordered a pair. Should be here Tuesday.

And no, I'm not a skilled welder, and would have got a professional to weld the reinforcements if I had thought they were critical. But they have had no reinforcements at all for the forty years I've owned the car, and did OK. So even with my crappy welding job, the arms should be stronger than they were.

I'm not a professional welder either, but I can wield a grinder real good.
 
We drove Vixen over to a friend's house yesterday to show off her new tires and wheels and to see his new 800 plus HP Hemi. Tim Bannon who owns For Hemis Only and Keith Black Engines in Clearwater, Florida built it. It's gonna be a bad beeotch.
 
I have only managed to do a little here and there.
I lowered the china wall and that made my tunnel ram fit better.
Also, wanted to fit my gear drive & double check my piston to valve clearance. Stupid playdoh slipped so I got no measurement & scrapped that for the meantime.
