Cool Si
Keep the pic's and updates coming, how far are you going with the chassis/back end of the car?

I am hoping that 1-2 weeks after new years the car will be taken to websters,not long after that all my engine parts,steering box,colume and powersteering unit and gearbox rebuild kit will arrive,plus a few other bits an pieces.

So yeah there is going to be a bit of a wait now,but after new years photos should start arriving.

Hey Simon
Good to see it's all happening.

Have you ordered the correct valve springs for the cam as your haven't put it on your list. Just a thought.

Ivor · Post by **Ivor** » Wed Jan 13, 10 3:52 pm

Hey Si,

Not wishing to put a dampener on your shopping (which looks great by the way!) but check out where those rear springs are coming from on your second list, because I've heard all sorts of horror stories of new springs being made in Mexico...out of cheese!

I know, because I need to buy a set of rear springs for the Barracuda and I've been told by several people to be very careful.

You wouldn't want a saggy rear end would you?

Dave999 · Post by **Dave999** » Wed Jan 13, 10 4:23 pm

yes

might be easier to get you old ones re tempered by a reputable set of spring geezers.
they won't know what Hemi RT spec means but should be able to adjust for height and weight of car add in leaf or two stick in a half leaf etc to stiffen up the front part of the spring
spend the rest on getting the rear tracking done (i.e what you save on cost and shipping)
they'll align up the diff position on the springs
and if necessary flex ya diff to get the right toe in.

remeber US cars are set up for the US side of the road i.e on a UK road with camber they will always try to stick you in the ditch

nice new set of rubbers bushes and bendy bits Bobs ya mothers Bruv
