Compare your front end to an AlterKtion kit. The one you used would be acceptable for a static display car, but not something driven on the street. All show and no go.

Installation manual and information booklet.

We're taking at look at our current policy to use the parts that the customer supplies. This is a good example of why we shouldn't have that policy for every car.

It's pretty much fine when we are doing a factory restoration but, not on a resto-mod.

This customer has decided to take over the job once we finish the paint work.

I'm sure he is going to check and recheck everything before making a final decision on whether to use the suspension as is, modify it, go back to the factory suspension or to use something else completely different. At this point, we are only responsible for the body and paint work. The owner has taken responsibility for the rest.

Please stay tuned as the Scorch Red R/T stripe is being painted today and photos will be available soon.

Regardless of anything else, this car will showcase our ability to produce a super slick, black mirror finish.

This is from your first post on this thread.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we go...

This week, we picked up a 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T for our customer and brought it to the shop.

We are transforming this muscle car into a fire breathing beast, suitable for street cruising, Chevy and Ford destroying stop light runs or to be at home at any drag strip. We call it the AMERICAN SUPER CAR.

We're doing a full rotisserie job on the body with super slick, mirror finish, black paint.

Suspension, traction and braking are all aftermarket improvements.

AND, last but far from least, we are building a 588 inch HEMI to custom specs to get the job done!

The customer has procured a special, purpose built Keisler 5 speed and a custom Dana from our vendors.

We offer this type of build for any kind of car in addition to our factory style restorations.




If I were you I would be looking into my liability in regards to the safety concerns associated with this car. It seems to me you are walking a very high wire without a safety net. You did install the front suspension, regardless of who supplied it.

When someone gives you a hand grenade, you assume full responsibly for the results when you pull the pin.

Point well taken Snoopy.

We will carefully and safely unravel the deal but I doubt that the details will be posted here.

Thanks.

I spoke with Bob first and it was quite a lengthy discussion about this and he assured me that I shouldn't have a problem running this suspension. I'll get Bob to chime in.

The customer is fine with the front suspension and we are not.

The customer has changed his priorities and the car will be going back to him unfinished with him assuming full responsibility for the suspension.
