hi brad; i've been talking to mike "challenger III" and he told you have done some interesting suspension mods including a reworking of the steering box. tell me more about how you beefed up the suspension in your car?

dave

Hi! I haven't reworked the steering box. Just gusseted the steering box mounts on the k-frame. On my sig at the bottom click on the handling link there to see what I did. :wave:

hi mike; thanks for spotting that. wouldnt it be cool if the rear end turned out to be a posi?

dave

turns out the rear end is a non-posi 2.76 ratio. i saw the tag yesterday. oh well,maybe i'll consider an aftermarket moser or strange dana.

i pulled out the bucket seats today to look for a buildsheet. i found one in the passenger side seat back,but it was not for my car.  a mouse nest was just a few inches away,but the buildsheet was untouched. i also took the dewalt to the floorpans to show how nice the pans were under the seats. check out the pics.  dave

http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/ has forums that attempt to link build sheets to their owners.  It's always possible someone could be looking for that sheet (or perhaps have found yours)

I agree contact Barry about this!  :2thumbs: It's common to find someone elses build sheet.
