Morning. Mitch that Typhon near your place in VN?
Hey have you ever dealt with Espo springs? I contacted them, trying to see if they make something like what I had in the Duster, they emailed me back saying they don't make Super Stock springs, only Mopar Does? Think I may have not been clear on my initial email, dunno
Good morning crew
Beautiful car you posted. Go for a nice ride I hope?
We did. We took it for a short drive to see how she runs. It was a little rough at first. Didn’t want to stay running but eventually it got there. Not sure if it was the gas since it had been sitting all year. There is an exhaust leak that needs to be fixed. Next weekend we plan to take a longer drive. We are hoping to take this to Vermont at the end of the month.
It is mostly further north in the central Highlands and the north of Vietnam. Although we are getting plenty of rain from it in the South
No, sorry I have never dealt with them. I have always had the springs that are from the car. Re-arched. Seems to be the best way for me to go.
got fenders on yesterday, don't look great but best i can do for now... Learned why you should pre-fit body panels, passenger fender was bent in shipping or before it was yanked off a car, bodyline was out and up like 1/2" when i put it on, bounced my fat *** on it to get it somewhat in shape. Will keep an eye out for another fender 
Can't get either fender in far enough to line up well with the door which is a pet peeve of mine, not far off but out more than the front edge of the doors
On top of that.. normally there is a L bracket on the inside front of each fender to hold the top grill support... missing.. which why the hell would i even consider that, they are normally welded on.. i can make some but wtf..

Thats what I do also. There is a company here in Harrisburg Stanley Springs that has a great reputation.
What is it I am not sure 38 GM?
She's looking very good. Nice work!got fenders on yesterday, don't look great but best i can do for now...

I didn't go for re arching of springs that came on the car, I took them to powdercoating and that was the end of the pads (melted out). I didn't think about it but think Skagit Powdercoat would have. Anyhoo, those were not stock springs, car had 29 inch tall rear tires and I kinda liked the rake so was looking for same type spring but read that the Summit competition springs can fold up at the eye due to "Mexican metallurgy", dunno

They are for a dodge truck....LOL 
My springs are from ESPO, no issues at all ordering from them (although i guessed my weight a little light so i sit lower than i wanted but that's my fault) I have run SS springs in the past on my challenger and for a daily driver it wasn't great, sat too high and was a bit rough.
It does look good. Maybe being there it shows but it looks good from here
Gaps at the passenger door is pretty bad but not something i can fix either.. goes from 3/16 at the top to 1/16 at the bottom.. if i had pre-fit i could have ground the fender to make the gap perfect. BUT... one day i will just yank the fender and fix/repaint it, at this point i need to drive the damn thing, winter is almost here
I'm gonna hook up the heater core this week and pray it holds water. My challenger had all the heater **** removed and man it sucked when it got cold out, windshield would frost up and couldn't see ****
I like my AC and heat
Thanks for that feedback, figured the ride will be a bit firm. Have heard people on this forum order what seems to be the application I'm looking for, think it's just a miscommunication right now with "Springs and Things", will see what comes back, I sent this screen shot to them
Good luck, hate dealing with heater coresGaps at the passenger door is pretty bad but not something i can fix either.. goes from 3/16 at the top to 1/16 at the bottom.. if i had pre-fit i could have ground the fender to make the gap perfect.

New ones sometimes dont fit either.
I have read that the new real SS springs sag really bad really quickly... don't know how true that is though.. are you racing the car?
Morning!
Looks like an 80° plus day.

Buddy wanted to bring a ford for intake swap,I said end of sept. So he decides to do it himself. Hes having trouble with it,and wants help. (End of sept) ya, im going to help. Not happy about it.
Ad for some reason the horn in the 37 isnt working.
