After fighting with it for a couple days I think I've found the issue. I took the new idler arm out and put the old one back in, same issue it was just as high. then I took the new tie rod ends out and compared them to the old ones and they are much beefier, this is where I think the problem is...
So I was finally able to get everything apart on the passenger side. even replaced the lower control arm bushing which was a whole ordeal. really not looking forward to doing it again on the drivers side. But now that I've started re-assembling the passenger side I've run into a new issue. The...
It does have 4 small holes drilled for the brackets in the K-Frame but it doesnt look like there are mounts on the lower control arm. It is worth noting that this isnt a real superbee its a clone, it started life as a standard coronet.
I just noticed that I don’t have a front sway bar and it doesn’t look like there are mounts on the lower control arm for them. Did some of them come without a front sway bar?
1985 dodge D100. Slant 6, manual 4 speed w/overdrive, 2WD. Runs great, I drive it to work a couple times a week, starts up every time. Very solid body. Located in Allendale MI. Asking $5500
Sorry I tried looking it up on my phone quick then got frustrated, so I snapped a picture really quick before I had to go be social somewhere with my wife. But I’m sure they’ll need to be replaced as well.
Hey guys it’s been a real long time. We ended up moving somewhere with a smaller garage so I haven’t really had space or time to work on it until now. I’m in the process of swapping out the front dum brakes for disc breaks and seeing all these bushings I figured I should probably swap those out...
Guess I should’ve chose my words more carefully, but yes it’s gonna be a clone, and I’m never gonna advertise it otherwise. I’m never gonna sell it or anything like that anyways so it’s just gonna be what I want it to be.
That’s interesting, I hadnt considered mounting from the bottom, the holes line up so I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. I got a standard pair of 6x9 speakers and one was able to drop right in, the other doesn’t drop in but the holes line up. If I can get away from cutting the package tray that...
Also in the process I realized I don’t have a heater box, so rather than being patient and getting one I’m just gonna run without it. I have the part that goes on the other side of the firewall so I’ll put that on to cover the hole and put metal tape over the rest of the holes.
So I finished all the wiring aft of the firewall and got the dash installed. Have a few parts left over but everything seems sturdy so I’m gonna let it ride for now. I need to figure out where the fuel tank sender wire is supposed to pass through cause the floor is a generic repop and doesn’t...
I went with the retro manufacturing redondo radio.

Started on the weather seals last weekend, still might be a little cold here for the adhesive to completely setup, so I think I’ll hold off on the rest for a warmer day. But I was able to install the dash speaker and wire that up to the radio. I bought a pre fabricated bracket with speakers...
Been a while since my last update, kinda had a standstill on funds for a minute.
I did get the Redondo radio in from retro manufacturing. I was pretty excited about this but was a little disappointed when it showed up. most of it is real cheap plastic and feels like its gonna break. Didnt come...
