    Yesterday I picked up some 2x4 tubing to mount the seats to. Also got some 1 1/2x3 tubing for frame connectors. When I'm done with both I'll tie them together with brackets for extra safety.

    I know I haven't post anything recently but I moved to a different apartment and I don't have a garage any more. :wack: So I did take a 45 min highway trip a few weeks ago and wasn't happy with the 3.55 gear ratio... not only did it cause my RPM's to run around 3000 but i sucked a half tank of...

    Will do soon! I haven't taken them out of my Grand Cherokee yet where they have been for a few days... I went to the junkyard to get a rear door for the GC and I found out they had a '05 CTS in the yard. I got kinda lucky because someone before me had the passenger seat unbolted, but the driver...

    Hey do you have any pics of how the rear bottom seat retainers are attached to the floor? I stole your idea for using CTS seats,just picked some from a car yesterday. Also how did you determine how far forward to set the front seat tracks?

    Dumb ball joint question

    It's not for me, I've already converted my '70 Dart which I know had small ball joints. This is for kid I know who has a '73 Duster with drums, he wants to convert to discs . Just trying to figure out if he needs to swap his upper control arm or not.

    camber bolt torque specs?

    Camber bolts are how these cars come. To get them to modern alignment specs you need the offset bushings or what I did and get tubular upper control arms from Firm Feel or similar products that have the extra adjustment built in and regular bushings.

    Woohoo it's at the alignment shop! I was able to get banjo bolts from Napa which on there website said they didn't have anything that matched my car which is why I ordered from Amazon. But my parts didn't arrive yet so out of desperation I decided to go to napa and see if they had anything...
