    Swapped LCAs to LCAs w/sway bar mounts.  New greasable pivot pins. Installed adj. strut rods, 1" torsion bars, tubular Upper CA, new upper/lower BJ and Bilsteins.  Next week will install the sway bar as the wife booked my day and the 49ers have my evening tied up.  Go Niners!!!

    In the process of snadblasting my 70 challenger and not finding good results,  looks like I will be looking for a donor car, have a few leads to follow on. It sure does show everything.

    Got the clutch, pressure plate, transmission and everything else hooked back up today.   :jumping: 

    Turns, out the clutch I got with my set was for an 18 spline trans, and I am using a 23.  That is why it wouldn't engage the trans.

    I hope to take it for a test drive tomorrow.  :crazy:  :woo:

    I was planning on heading out to the garage to machine up some  3 degree shims to get my pinion angle right but it was -24C this morning and I have no heat in the garage so my hands stick to anything metal. :eek4:

    That should put a few more bucks back in your pocket. I know anything "18 spline" is $$.

    She moved under her own power for the first time since Sept 2012.   :jumping:  :crazy: WAY longer than I thought it would take, but she moves again.

    The test drive went great, need to fine tune a few things the brakes are dragging slightly, the oil light stays on, and I need to figure out how to tune the ECU.  But she ran pretty well and has TONs of power.

    Ir feels good to have her back on the road.
