04CHASE

bout time chevlee.

hell yeah man , glad to hear that . so we got some of the usual's keeping it gangsta. ill be bringing my truck full of parts so if anyone wants them ill do a special . should have a couple extra ss airbags too. if anyone wants those 18's ill make a great deal on em.

lol i know i have to swap my big baer 6 pistons off when i want to use them , thats why i usually run the alumasports. but for the throwdown i am putting the big dogs on and if i can find some money ill get the bfg kdw's.

i do but i deceided to wait on them since these qa1's will work awesome for what im after. the only reason to go to coil overs would be an progressive spring rate and loosing about 80lbs of steel. they can be dont pretty easily with a few kits i was looking at , id just have to make a new upper shock mount , not hard but cutting off the stocker would be fun with all the crap that has to be removed.

they fit over my alumasports with some persuasion

i think we all know that , half your post count is in this thread.

a 3/5on a nnbs will need no notch , a 3/5 on an ss will require a notch for sure. i have done both as well (mcgaughy's and now djm) and i can say first hand the djm's dont push the front tires out at all as the spindles did a bit. not sure on turning radius quite yet but so far looks good . the djm you get an extra inch in front , the knuckles do seem to keep a flatter cv angle which is good but the djm doesent make it anywhere near bad. my lifted 3500 nnbs has worse angles with the lift and it drives perfect. the bad word on the djms stuff is not for this exact drop so it really need not apply.

yeah lets see how many flakes we can get

too bad your not closer id love to helo ya out .although pulling trannies in the driveway sucks . cant wait to get my lift put in!!

kind of like going all out on little stuff, bolt ons over time or going with a blower right off the bat. imo save a little more and go with the big dog's they help alot more along with looking ( . Y . )

got the front suspension buttoned up today after being on jack stand for a week and a half. i also installed the newly powdercoated precision grille's . still waiting on my interior but thats another story . My goal is setting up the trucks suspension up to being fully adjustable . I wanted it to be able to turn and be able to hit the strip with stellar results. im preping for the truckin throwdown so this was something i wanted to do but never had a reason too. i still have the rear to do but that will be in a week or two. im trying to get it ready to attend the meet but thats still up in the air on my interior. parts i used so far djm upper a-arms djm lower a-arms ffr heim tie rods qa1 double adjustable shocks (swapped t-bar to metal sleeve for use with djm lca's) stock knuckles painted while installing i also had to repair some melted wiring and there was quite a bit so this added a day to the labor . i used the dea 2k heat wrap with saftey wire and relocated wiring away from the headers . turbos get hot , really hot they melt everything. i also added some different zerks , as the angle on the djm included one didnt work well for me . i also just got it back from the 3.73 oem gears , tru trac and circle -d multi disk , dare me to break converter. pics of parts used (all pics are with camera phone) here is the pics as i installed them guess i forgot to get them when everything was finished as i had to turn the shocks 180 to clear the adjustment knobs since they hit the c.v. boots and are actually easier to adjust from the inside. here are the pics as i was adjusting the keys to the level i prefered overall im happy with it , but havent got the alignment yet so as long as thats cool then i will work on adjusting the qa1's i just finished up my triple pillar i molded to the factory a pillar so it looks alot better, matches the charcoal interior perfect and looks better than the push lock on triple pillar it was made from. also have a c-notch and some 4" and 4.5"steel tube im going to fab some nice d-shaft loops from. Ill be making a new rear upper shock cross member to relocate the rear shocks outward on the axle and having them bost on the back side completely perpendicular to the frame . this will make handling/hooking better along with qa1's back there to hopefully "throwdown at the trucking throwdown" this will undergo as soon as i get it back from the meet.

well the guy seems like a really good person and he sent me this in an email

you have some great editing skills man , hope to see you at famosa sooner than later.

selling these as im going to a different wheel they are 18x9.5 with i beleive 6.5 bs they dont stick out and slightly tuck . 1200+shipping (paid near 2k for them a few years back) they have only been driven on for less than 500 miles , may need a slight polish but in great shape . id prefer to sell local and will meet in so cal if anyone is interested.

ill be keeping them coming its just finding the airbags . if anyone is at the meet this weekend ill have a few with me as well.

i dont know man , what was the boost on it ? the mph really isnt there for high deep 9's

Yeah just coming to an agreement on price is going to be tough so trying to free up some loose change . Ill keep yall posted Sent from my samsung vibrant

i hope it goes well the guy has a few other classic cars and its not like his baby as far as i can tell. im planning to take the plates i have and tell him how i remember the car with my dad and i

if phil comes through with the interior and i finish the triple pillar tomorrow with the wideband , then get tuning and alignment on thursday.

well , i found the guy , he still has it and wants me to come look at it . i cried after i spoke with him and can only imagine what will happen when i go to look at it soon. man what are the odds of me finding it . goole magic my friends!!!!

im hoping to still make it with the ss but man there is alot of work , i did about 6 hr worth today . front suspension is pretty much done and just finishing up wiring repairs/custom triple pillar , and new wideband .

yeah i finished up a few just waiting on a few more airbags . i should have two more available but i have to go to the first who pm'ed me . if there is any left ill post them up as they come in .

ok so the straps , sleeve and center console are sold locally . still have the knuckles/spindles and gauge pod , ill take offers on the knuckles but they are like new.

wow looks like the 10 second wall is crumbling , i just you a pm asking when the first outing would be before i read this . congrats man i sure as hell didnt expect that . glad to see some of us o.g.'s making it happen . now i have some work to do to dig deeper. that 60 ft still has some left in it as well , i know mine was horrible on the 10x pass with like a 1.85 . you do have the fastest 1/8th for an ss though . i havent broke 7.00 yet. when is the next outing , you may just get the number one spot as i dont think ill be making it to the strip anytime time real soon and hot weather is imminute !!!

they work but the quality and price go hand in hand.
