With the car suspended by the housing I can get a real good look at what the ride height is going to be. After dearching the springs the first time the car still sat too high for my taste so I dearched them again to get it real low. Looks pretty good if you ask me.

The wheel on the left is a 10" wide rallye rim with a 295/50/15, 26" tall. The wheel on the right is an 8" wide rim with a 11.5" wide 28" tall tire. With the spring relocation kit installed I still have tons of room inboard. But the 11.5" slick on the right is pretty close on the outboard side and will most likely rub the outer wheel well under load. So I'll most likely have to buy rims with more off set.
Rear Brakes are in and drums are on. I was able to get new springs and hardware from Auto Zone.

The 4.10's, 3rd member and Dutchman Axles are in.



Here's the truck 8-3/4 housing I had cut down by a cool guy named Butch out of Hemet. He cut it down to stock A-body width only slightly narrower to acomidate B-body rear brakes shes which are wider than A-body brake shoes. He also hooked me up with the axle measurements needed so all I had to do was place an order with Dutchman to get what I need.

The Grill is in.

Here's the latest pictures as of 4-5-09. My buddy Erike and I came up this cool Mopar car dolly we call The Paint Kit. The idea was to be able to take everything off of the body including the suspension and still be able to move and/or transport the car, like say, taking it to the paint shop while everything else goes out for powder coat. The Kit is universal and will fit all 67 and newer A-bodies, all B-bodies and all E-bodies. If interested in purchasing a kit check out our website at http://www.crazyeightlift.com/ and or contact Dutch Brothers Fabrication at 951-992-3233 (Erike) to place an order. For questions about the kit you can contact 951-992-3233 (Erike) or 951-303-4869 (Jon).





Here's my Duster project, I plan on dropping in a 440 and hitting the track with it. This is the current condition, I just got it painted and I'm slowly putting it back together, not by choice but as income allows for it.

It's a little dusty but hey its a Duster its supposed to be like that, right?


Clear coat.


Base coat.

Here's my car in primer.

Here's what the car looked like when I brought it home.




Here's some pict's of the cage going in.



Here's the mini tub work.




Here's just before the spring relocation kit goes in. Check out how close the skinny tires are to the springs.

This 10" rallye and its fat tire wouldn't reach the axle to bolt on because the tire would hit the spring.

And here's the kit going in.



This is the stock location for the rear eyelet where the spring attaches.

Welding this eyeley here is one option per the instructions.

Another option was to weld the stock eyelet under the frame rail but that would raise the car and I like mine low.

So notched the frame and added a couple of adapter sheets of metal and welded it in.

So here's the new pirch location next to the original location, so now I can get the fatty rim on.
