This is what I did this winter! (along with some other small stuff)  :cheers:
Can't say I'm sad that this is over! So damn tired of scraping off old oil,dirt and grime!

All poly bushings
1"  Just Suspension torsion bars
New steel strut rods
Boxed LCA's

Just waiting for MOOG offset UCA bushings, and then I will start assembly.

And with my new 1 1/8 and 7/8 sway bars, frameconnectors, torque boxes and firm feel steering box, I am really looking forward to the summer!  ;)

Haha! not really Per! But I am there pretty often!  ;)


I really like the LCA's bronzed/gold. Breaks the all-black chevy-like apperance on the underside.  :yesnod:


I will post more pics as I go along.

Did you buy your LCA's as they are showing in the pic?

Because I'm looking for these reinforcement plates separately to weld them in myself, but not being lucky so far....... Or does Firm Feel sell them? It's not advertised on their web page anyway.....

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

I bought the reinforcement plates from Mancini and TIG welded them in.

Ive done the same mods to my 69 charger except for the torsion bars, How does your charger do on hard corners?
I put the 1" torsion bars on my 70 challenger and it rides nice but feels like I should have went with a little larger T bars.
Im doing the Daytona conversion on my charger and want it to handle a little better than my Challenger.

Hemidog

It's not together yet, but it will definitely be stiffer that the original .92 ones.
I will let you know, it's going to be a couple of months till summer!

Thanks 70charginglizard!
