Having only slept about 2 hours, I woke up at dawn to work on the Charger, we were planning on finishing the brake setup today, but were only able to to work on one side of the car because of the diferential. Some guy "worked" on it a few years back, converting it to disc brakes, but did a lousy job and messed it up. So basically, I spent the entire morning watching my friend cutting and welding to fix it, all while explaining to me the fundamentals of welding and how the other guy is an idiot. I learned a lot, so I ain't even mad. We also placed the fuel pump and finished the suspension.
I also seem to have made a mistake installing one of the front brakes last week, so I fixed that roday. I later went get a new tire for the daily driver, A larger piece of metal found it's way into one of my tires...not two weeks after after I bought them! u.u Good thing I paid for warranty, so I got the new new tire free! And to end my day, I bought GTA V, so yea, it was a good day.
Tommorrow, cath up in work and fix the camera so I can upload some decent pictures.

Ditch the leafs, go coilover and add a watts link. Your car will thank you for it.

I dunno, his build seems to have mostly a stock + performance vibe to it. A drastic type change like a four-link might be a little outside the character he wants.
Plus, Charger. I don't think he's building it as either a drag eliminator or a cornering king, so stiff leaves should hold up all right.

Cornering king and Charger in the same sentence. SMH.

Did surprisingly well against the Mustang in Bullitt, but even so, ha, no.

RamblinRover, you've nailed it. I might take go drag racing every other month, but really what I'm going for is a car for cruising on open roads. I do want to build a car specifically for autocross, hopefully soon. And by the way, I'm always rooting fo the bad guys in Bullit haha
