Yeah ... that red in the picture is the lower link; its goes to the front spring mount. (Lots left to do on the design ... upper links .. panhard bar and the bag mounts) Parallel links with a panhard will actually work better than a triangulated set up. the "floor" (inner fenders) on the...

**** man .... had I known I'd be going this deep with this build I would have done this preemptively! Oh well .... If I go the hyrdo route this will be a winter project. right now I gota get this this on the road. Nice work Sled!! Love that car. Thank you very much guys! Means a lot and...

Also! My dad has been building a 1965 dodge D100 step side! the cab is back on the frame! This thing is gonna be sooooooo sweet when its done! -Chrysler 300 torsion bar front end welded in (instead of the horse cart leaf springs in the front) -back end is lowered by de stressing the springs...

Yeah getting all that work paid for would be insane .... I really wish he finished that car; madness fab skills!! Couple questions for ya 440Sled: front 1) so your torsion bars are hooked up still? just turned basically all the way down? are the torsion bar bolts dangerously close to scraping...

yeah the torsion bars cause a lot of problems up front .... and there is no one who wants to **** with them ... The only decent build thread I could find about custom front end work to lay out a C-Body with air bags was MattRod68 on this forum here...

NVM .... searched deeper and saw the hydrolic set up! Very nice.,

Thank you very much!! I was taking a look at your posts .... I LOVE that lace roof you pulled off! looks stellar! I'm trying to sort out what I want to do with the roof of my car .... whether or not to paint it straight up the same colour as the body or go a little wild like you did. I guess I...

Original interior shot (Man that wood grain has got to GO!!!) After the seats and carpet came out ... time to hack out the floor .... I cannot believe how much I learned doing this car ... I legit had no idea how to weld ... starting with floor pans was tough; I got a welder and started...

It was a chore ... Mom and I planned it out quite a bit including the rear insert piece .... I was pretty skeptical about how it would work out. but I had a very decent headliner to start out with which helped A LOT ... plus my mom has had quite a bit of experience sewing up my ripped/burned...

Back to the floor!! Get that heat proofing in. Get that Carpet In. Better get the drivers seat in! What about seat belts? What about the rest of the seats? Dont worry ... got them too... Stay Tuned.

Sound Proofing the interior with Boom Mat (Dyna mat equivalent) I've roped everyone into having a piece on this build!! got my Mom involved (she's just happy i spend time with my dad in the shop), she made me a new head liner out of some material I picked out at Fabric Land. we took...

Wheel Spacer Time! Get those calipers looking hot Wheels on and torsion bars leveled out!

Miller gave them out to a few shops in the area earlier this year! the shop I'm at was one of the ones selected .... they had to give regular feed back about the new **** every week or so! then they'd come and make adjustments and replace parts and whatever .... all market research stuff ...

will do! I've been meaning to do a build thread for a long time .... figured no better time than now! Yeah ... I'd be pretty disappointed if after all these hours if it turned out looking wrong. However I am not putting the skirts back on so i had a bit of freedom to play with the rear...

Thanks Vodka! I been looking at yours lately ... you got some seriously detailed work!! keep it up!!!
