Dave - What kind of front end set up did you use on the Plymouth to get a decent ride height?

MII design and geometry, tubular A-Arms, coilovers, and 2" dropped spindles...Pretty much the same setup I use on most everything...

My son is just dying to drive this to town. He got his grades back to A & B's so despite my anxiety....its time to let him go.

I got one side of the rear frame mitered and boxed. Turned out pretty good. Going to add a cross brace to stiffen up the rear even more and provide a location for relocating the shocks. We're going to buy a new 'smuggler's box' lid and use that material to build the bed width back as close to origial as possible. I really not all that sure why the folks cut out the bed or the tubs. Even with the 11" wide tires they wouldve fit in the orginal wheel house. They couldve just chopped the frame and left the bed. Oh well. I'm going to try to make it so he can at least load up a 4-wheeler if he wants.

Im trying to figure out what his rear disc calipers are. Do all GM late model Metrics mount the same? I'm concidering swapping for a pair of 79-85 Cadillac Seville calipers so he will have an emergency brake. Next week we'll finish the other frame rail. Got plenty to do. Really want to get back to work on the 36.
