Done deal. Wheel alignment complete. I’ll take it home tonight and trim the steering bump stops until I am happy with the turning radius. The later LCAs had a larger knob for some reason. I’ll keep it to where it can’t rub rubber. Then I’m gonna have to clearance the rear wheels just a smidgen...

Another awesome evening in my end of the day spot. Sorry to you Edmonton fans about the game. I’m still hoping for a share of that massive 50/50!

Awesome! Congratulations

New stance. Between 25 1/8 - 25 1/4 at the wheel well trim. We will see what the alignment guy has to say tomorrow. Sure grip!

Thanks to the wife and her patience, the brakes are bled. The joints are greased. Things are tight enough. Tomorrow is wheel alignment day!

As I said, here in Alberta this topic is basically unavoidable. One of our Rig Managers was at game 6. He called into the office to say he would not be returning to work for a few days…….he was lining up a flight to Florida! 21 hour milk run flight! Edmonton may very well be closed for business...

The new master is in. Jobber. Chinese. Aluminum. Wasn’t planned but I’ll take it. Now sometimes it’s good to just do things your way without knowing all the tricks. I pulled the old master and was struggling to remove the push rod. Fortunately I didn’t research FABO for that tidbit of...

Thank you Dave.......this is all because of your offer that I ended up here! :) I was adjusting the tie rods to close the toe in. I read in one of kerndog's post about the difference between drum and disc on these conversions. I got that sorted out but just realized my steering is only 1 1/2...

Good enough for now. This thing needs off the hoist! If I find they flex, I’ll add another gusset. But I’m not autocrossing so they should be fine.

My average is buy high, sell low.

Hang in there. It is hard to see so much loss. Especially when you know some can never be replaced. The memories are still there. Good luck with your recovery.

Oh now what fun would that be? Too easy and clean! But Thank you Tom. You know I like fabricating. This morning I'm going to fab some sway bar tabs and then get this damn thing put back together! It was supposed to just be a driver!!

I don’t think many people understand what it’s like to see streams and rivers form in the middle of crop fields. Fields that are far above the local creeks. When the water comes down and has no other path, ditches become rivers. These are then traps for anyone living aside them. Good luck down...

Done for the day. Bought some 50/50 because Randy did. Went to the daughters for supper with the grandkids. Came back home and decided to sit back and enjoy the evening.

Pretty much done. Just cooling before the last weld.

Practical over pretty is what I believe! The dust! My steady hand. Number one. The pattern for number two. Blasted and in the paint booth. Nice and black.

Thanks Tom. I’m very happy with the car, but…… “I just want to upgrade the brakes” Well, you know how that goes. I dig under the bench and find a set of sway bar LCAs. Great! Then I realize I can’t install the LCAs without a big pain in the *** due to headers. Darn headers, yet another...

Cheers from Alberta folks. I don’t watch hockey but this is an unavoidable topic here! 9-1 Edmonton game 7.

Thank you. The conversion has been committed! With the screw in hose I just said to heck with it and moved the mount. It was easy.

It’s gonna look factoryish! I was going to change the LCAs but the passenger side will not come out with the headers. Damn it. I’ll order some weld on tabs.

Driver side ready.

I like it. No real challenge whatsoever. Relocated the mount. Easy peasy. Everything cleared. Looked at the bump stop and realized it is not essential anymore. Off it came. Hose is beautifully positioned. I’ll bend the piping later.

Yes. You are correct. I have thought about that. But since neither are “correct” I think it will look better moving the mount. I have been researching longer hoses but they are all about the same length. I need 20” and most are around 15”

Gonna have to modify the brake hose connection mount to retain these challenger hoses. I’m not gonna search because all the stuff that fit anything uses banjo bolts. This will be easy and effective. Won’t reach here But I’ll move the mount here. Clears the shock and all moving parts...

I searched and this is where I’m at. I have 73/4 Challenger calipers. The hose threads in. The hose will not reach the factory rear mount on a 68 Dart. But, with a slight mod, these hoses will be fine. Yes, no it’s not “correct”. But that’s why I am the way I am! I wanna go not show! Factory...

Figured it was from torque or being dropped! Being Hemi and all.

Typical broken ear

The red X is gone........might as well remove the classifieds too! :thankyou:
