I want to hear how his test drive goes after all this.  Should be interesting and very enjoyable.

I'll know more and give an update in a few weeks.  But the little that I did drive her was very different from before.

Test drive time  There's a show coming up on Sunday about 35 - 40 miles from here. If its NOT RAINING it will be a great time for a suspension test. I dont think I've driven her 10 miles since the work was done, and that was all in town. stay tuned..............

soooooo.....

Ok , took her on a run (car show) of about 75 - 80 miles round trip.    Way more precise cornering. Very very little body roll. A firm but not harsh ride. Felt connected to to road. I leaned into a few corners harder than I used to and she responded like a champ. Speeds from 0 to 90ish. My wife even said she noticed the diffrence.

Sounds great Bigs. 

Do you have plans to upgrade to firmfeel steering box or was that done already?

[BIGSHCLUNK]

TC, Did a level 3 S&G 2 years ago

All of which, IMO,  reinforces the concept that you only need a selection of key parts to get a classic mopar into a more modern feel. It doesn't take $10k worth of coil over and R&P conversions to get there.

The more I think about it , the more I think the level 3 steering box compliments all the upgrades very nicely.
