Shackle Lengths?

Thanks guys.

Duncan, got:
1969 Charger 383 SE,
1969 Coronet 440,
1962 Dodge Dart 440 (318),
1962 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door - this is getting the 500ci Stroker out of the Sox.

Julie would not part with the '62 Dart plucked Chicken; will be a feature in CA soon.

Need to buy some more "Go faster" bits for the"A" bodies

Top man

That's probably the working tolerance in the factory. I would have been ecstatic if they had got that close with panel fit...........

No Steve.

Julie has the red '62 Dart 440 2 door with the poly motor.

I have a black '62 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door, which is getting the old Sox 500ci stroker motor.

Team Coyote Ugly racing or what (the cars, that is......)
