Saying hello again.
I would just like to say hello again. I have been MIA for a couple of years. Started a small side business building suspension parts for World challnge srt-4s, and other cars. Got WAY more busier then I expected, so I had to put my CHARGER on the side.
I own a 68 CHARGER that I am hiving finished for me now, at GEARHEADS GARAGE, in Sacramento CA. Funny this shop was only 15 mins from my house, and never knew it. haha.
In the midst of building the parts for the srt's, I was working on the suspension of my charger. Just some of the things I have done to it,
Wilwoods brakes on all 4 corners.
Full stainless brake line through out car
Wilwood MC
Hydraboost
Rack in pinion steering I designed. Using an old L body GM quick ratio rack. (GRAND PRIX GTP
TUBULAR LOWER, AND UPPER CONTROL ARMS
Custom torsion bars front
Torsion type sway bar front, 7/8" bolt on rear.
Custom made leafs for the rear.
I made the spring brackets adj for ride hight, and pinion angle.
Frame connectors made by me.
17x10 rear, 17x8 front Weld Zeta wheels
The engine is going to be a 383 .030 built nice and stout, to take boost. Edelbrock rpm heads, rpm intake, Demon Blow through carb.
Going to be topped off by a SUPERCHARGER STORE Cent supercharger, with an intercooler.
Built 727 trans for now. Not sure if I will go with a 5 spd, or a overdrive in the future.
I am having the car finished by Gearheads cause, I decided to get back into the guard, and my unit got deployed 4 months ago.
I am going home on leave in May, and will be taking a good amount of pictures of the process of the car, and of course will post them.
I would like to offer my assistance to anyone seeking suspension advice. I am looking forward to dicussing differant subject here.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

I know, I know. I am going home in 2 1/2 weeks. I seems a lot longer then that trust me. I have already been away from home for almost 6 months. A top of all the car stuff, I miss the hell out of my kids. I will be taking a boat load of pics when I get home. I am really pumped to see the progress that Jason at gearheads has made.
