Anyone interested in these still? I just had another batch made, and had a few guys flake from other forums. I have 4 sets available now. Please email me directly if interested:

Thanks !
Congrats. Ive been welding for quite awhile, but just recently started using a spool gun. Took me a little while to get the hang of it, but Im getting there.
The verdict is in...I can sell a set of 4 brackets for $200, plus shipping. Only down side is I have to order 10 assemblys at a time...so I may as well just order 12, and make it an even 3 pair. I have one guy on board already. Let me know if you are interested. By the way, for now, these are...
Im going to try to do a set of 4 for $200 or less. I should have a quote on Monday. I will need to order at least 10 at a time to get some sort of quantity discount.
I could probably make a shorter set of their was enough interest...couple clicks of the mouse, and the dimensions can be...
Hey all,
Lets see how much interest there are in these...I was lucky enough to have a fellow member send me the detailed dimensions, so I drew them up in SW real quick. Tell me what you think. According to the dimensions, the brackets are a mirror image of each other...is this correct? Tell me...
When speaking about tire clearance, this design is the best I have seen so far. I personally am not a fan of doing any welding along the length of a piece of tube...just dont like the look. However, as mentioned above my post, if this tube continued towards the front and came to dead end into...
Thanks for the pics! I was thinking about just something that threaded onto the current tie rod, but replaced the ball joint. Looking at your pic, it would be more money obviously, but it may be worth it...getting rid of as many balljoints a possible. Thanks again for the pic!
Thanks a bunch guys! I have to remember to check on this thread regularly...sorry. Big hook, I have the Valiant emblems on my '71 Valiant. The emblem itself looks to have a raised edge around it...is this true? Mine also are all bleached out. My thoughts however, are what about a sticker that...
Thanks for the input. Tubular trans mount that bolts into the factory torsion bar crossmember? Or a tubular crossmember that houses the torsion bars and forms a new transmission mount? Just curious.
Thanks for the input. I didnt see the post before about building things comparable to the Fox body Mustang stuff. Control arms are doable in the same price range as most other control arms. K-members may be somewhat close to other prices, but no guarantees. Would a K-member/control arm/coilover...
Alta Plating in Sacramento. Off of Power Inn. They do great work...just tag your parts well...they are a big shop, running LOTS of parts...and sometime little orders get lost.
Thanks for the input guys. I will probably put the "entire front suspension" setup on hold...seems people dont want to pay for something. We'll see how it turns out. Anyways, I will have to look into the brackets for the charger rear brakes...that stuff is actually fairly easy, and should be...
Geez...tough crowd here I guess. I think they look badass! Excellent work. Id send them to Chrysler Corp just for the hell of it....never know what may happen ;)
I can come up with $1500 worth of parts fairly easy...just so people know. I thought about using the later model Mustang stuff, because it eliminates the upper control arm...but that would require some sort of reinforcement to the top of the shock tower to handle the load. I couldnt locate many...
Just wondering...what would everyone consider a "reasonable" cost for a tubular K-member and complete new front suspension similar to what MagnumForce sells? Dont tell me $500 either...LOL.
This would be everything including R&P, Mustang II spindles, tie rod ends, Strange single adjustable...
Thanks for the input guys. I will have to look into it...as of now, I am having trouble with DMV and registering this Valiant...why does it always have to be so difficult?!!? LOL. What geometry is bad about the Mustang? I am not questioning at all...just trying to learn. What about using a...
Thanks guys! I appreciate it. Im glad to know someone else thinks the crossmember would be a good product. Does anyone else have any thing to say about that? Would it be the end of the world if you had to drill out all of your old spot welds to remove the factory crossmember?
If I were to build...
How much interest would there be in a tubular transmission/torsion bar crossmember? I was told they rot out usually and need to be replaced anyways. I wasnt sure if people would like to drill all the factory spot welds or not? But then again, even if replacing the crossmember with a sheetmetal...
Something I thought about as well. When you say shorty, do you mean something thats like the really short "block hugger" type headers that have the collector facing downward? Or something that still will snake through everything, and then be looking towards the back of the car?
I enjoy building...
Thanks guys. The floor pans have very slight surface rust, and the trunk floor looks perfect. I am a bit nervous about seeing whats under the vinyl top but it will have to be fixed at some point. Wheres the best place to buy sheetmetal panels?
metallidart- I emailed you back. I really like the...
Well, I brought the 71 Valiant home. Finally found a complete car I can use for mock-up, and its not in too bad of shape really. 318 car, so it has the right Kmember already. It will be slow coming, but eventually I will be able to spend some time on this thing. First thing is to bomb it with a...
