The only con is spending the money and a little added weight. Not really cons when you consider the gain of less body roll and improved tire contact without impacting spring rate.... maintaining the comfy ride.

I can't believe you painted it in an open shop. It's not full of dust and bugs? I usually build a plastic tent with box fans and filters and I will still get crap in the paint. Really great work. :thumbsup:

The parts that you are selling are mostly pretty low on the desirability scale.... if you can sell some of them at all. I would not put much hope in trading them for what you need. Unless you are strapped for cash, I would find the correct non-trunion trans and bell for your car. Brewers...

Research the basic terms and what makes for a potentially good stock. Start reading the free financials like Yahoo "Financial" tab every day for 10-15 minutes. Ignore any advice to buy something and do not follow advice linked to any of the "celebrity investors". It's mostly biased and designed...

Finally rebuilding the front suspension in my 69 Charger 500. It has really needed it for a long time, but cracking brake hoses finally inspired me to git 'er done. Addendum: Sheesh! I spent 6 hours today just working at removing rusted cotter pins. I needed a win before the end of the day so...

Looks like a decent car. Enjoy the time with your dad!

B7 is a late 60's color and you don't see a lot of them. It's a shame, because it's a nice shade. Google for example a 1969 Dodge color chart. B7, B3 and B5 are all metallics so the age of the paint and the light conditions make all of them look different depending on these factors. For this...

FWIW, I dribbled paint on top of the button tabs and let it build up into a dome (multiple, multiple coats). I'd let the paint semi-dry until it was thicker and then apply. I don't think anyone could tell the difference and it lasted maybe 10 years until I sold the car. Of course, mine was...

Generally sticking with a theme throughout is the most appealing to me. If everything else is OEM, keep everything OEM. If there are minor upgrades, make other matching minor upgrades. If it's radical, make it all radical, etc.

From what I recall from my feeble memory, they should bottom out at full spring droop. I would measure them at compression and extension first, .... maybe you can save yourself some dough and re-use the Konis.

There are some great hiking stick/defense all-in one's available out there. They keep you out of trouble with those that might think you are armed with a baseball bat. I have a self-made one, but I am thinking about upgrading since there have been a lot of cougar sightings on the trails around...

There is no way to fix this that I know of other than to take the seat cover off, remove the button, recover it and sew it back in. I have heard that in the past people saved their old buttons and installed them on the Legendary covers to avoid this common problem. I'm still not sure is...

Welcome from South of you. See you on the road soon I hope. I have had 9 3rd Gen Chargers .... 2 as of right now.

Your axle moved up 2 inches. The shock plate is in the same place it was at before you added the blocks.

A relatively inexpensive steel custom wheel. The centers could come in different colors at one point. I believe Appliance was one of the manufacturers. Have not seen them for sale for awhile, so I don't know if they are made anymore.
