I like it - wheels dont bother me. At least they arent billet. I would lose the tint thought - no greenbacks needed for that. Its just a bit too high school for me. Stance is way better. Great looking car.
Got the rear sway bar on last night. Hope to get the front one on tonight. It will take a bit of head scratching and fabricating to get it to work but I'm sure I can come up with something.
Shazam! I got both of the sway bars on the car and the handling is much improved. No more jumping around and steering itself all over the place.m you can drive with confidence now. Sway bars will be highly recommended by me for this car. Pictures this weekend.
It probably has that much rake , because it is hard to get those car low in the back w/o doing some stuff, i.e: narrow rear end, or alter inner fender panel, won't be that E-Z... It looks great....
Here are the pics for the sway bars. The rear is a piece of cake to put on. The front one, because I had a Fatman suspension, required a lot of head scratching to find a place on the lower control arm that was in a place where the drop link would not interfere with the tie rods. I fabbed up these from some 3 X 2 tubing scraps I had lying around. Worked out well. I just need to paint them now. The difference in handling is amazing. My apologies to those who suggested sway bars at the beginning. I had to go through my logical progression of checking things out and making sure everything was right before adding these. I'm guessing dearched springs would also help but I'm happy with it now. Now, I have to figure out why it's overheating at idle and fix a really annoying noise that emanates from the AC compressor belt and brackets.......I think. Also, I installed a new CustomAutoSound Secret Audio system. It rocks! I now have tunes while cruising!
thats a bitchin ride...I wouldn't worry about the window tint for now your wife will dig it this summer when your running all the way to the big shows! Enjoy but don't forget about the Plymouth for us Mopar guys! I see cars like that all the time someone threw good money after bad, couldn't get the car right and dumped it on a dealer for something that was finished! If you can buy em right you can get a nice car out of it!
Removed the perches for the rear springs today and set the pinion angle right. This is a pain in the ass job but it's done. Hopefully, it won't vibrate and shake at speeds over 70 now. Tomorrow I will continue my quest to stop this sob from overheating. I am going to check the only thing that I haven't checked, so far. I am going to remove the water pump and see if there is something amiss with it. Sure am glad I put a heat pump in my shop! It's north of 100 here today and hotter tomorrow. At least I will get to test it in max. worst conditions. Also bought me a pair of these before starting this job. I wish I had bought these when I first put my lift in. They are great! http://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-capacity-underhoist-safety-stand-41860.html
Finally removed the dark window tint. Boy does it look better. Plus, I'll be able to see at night and wave back to all my admirers on the highway.
That car would look cool with chrome smoothies painted flat black draggen its ass and sparken while your cruzen down the road. With your wife refusing to ride in it. LOL JOKE. Nice car man.
