Been slowly collecting parts to improve the ride on my 70' Barracuda, hoping to get my last bit of parts in the next month. Been reading alot of posts on here and was wondering what cars/trucks are you guys building up and what mods are being done to them?

66 dart: firm feel bars front and back, FFI UCAs, new 6- leaf springs, 11.75 disc conversion, 8.75 rear, LBP, frame connectors. 318/auto for now, but would like to upgrade to 360 4 speed one day. should be a basic driver.

current status: front end all apart and working on putting it back together.

I have a 1970 Dart with 5.7 Hemi, Hotchkis rear suspension, E-Body rear sway bar, HemiDenny K-Frame, Addco 1" front sway bar, QA1 front coilovers, subframe connectors, 11" 4 wheel drilled/slotted disc brakes, 4.10 gears with carbon fiber clutches, 17x7" front wheels, 18x8" rear wheels.
Here is a link to my build:

Big brakes, big T-bars, big sway bars.

As for the rest of it, let's not go there.

Not working much on the suspension these days.
oth, I'll be swapping gears from 3.91 to 3.55:1 and be installing shorty headers and a 4bbl-intake on my daily 318 Dart soon.

1.06 FF t-bars, 340 Duster leaf springs
FF adjustable struts and tie rod ends
Magnumforce non-adjustable tubular a-arms
poly bushings everywhere
welded and reinforced 340 K-frame
welded in Mopar frame connectors
KYB shocks
first gen Viper calipers on 11.75 rotors, EBC red pads
B-body rear with stock 11" drums, carbon metallic shoes

It's current setup has been on the car for a few seasons now and there are quite a few changes I would like to make, but it all costs $$$ and I'm having too much fun hammering on it. -pauly

1979 Aspen

Replacing everything under it with a chassis from a Busch Grand National North car. The chassis is a Laughlin short track front steer and came as a roller minus brake calipers but with a freshened Richmond quick change.

I'll be removing all the drum brake stuff on my 8 3/4 this weekend and giving my friend a call to see if he can help me rebuild it. Going with all new bearings and seals, powder coated case, 3.55 gears, and an Eaton TrueTrac. I'll also be placing an order with Dr. Diff later this summer for some 13" Brembo discs up front and 11.7" Cobra brakes in the rear. On top of that, I already have my Hotchkis TVS in the garage with 1.06" T-bars and subframe connectors awaiting to go on the Dart. And lastly, I'm going to be getting some 2-piece 18" wheels set to my backspacing. I'm going to try to fit a 275/35/18 all the way around. If I have some extra time and money, I may do an engine swap for a 360. I know it's going to be a lot of money, but I don't care because it's my car. Hopefully, I can finish this all by late September (or to Fall Fling) with the help of friends and moparts.

The GT on the Dart is going to start for something new, "Gran Turismo." I know it's cheesy.

Just getting started. So far front brakes are Dr Diff "Stage 4" and I have done a little fender trimming. Brought car home from paint today.

Looks like alot of a-body guys are fixing up their rides. I'm thinking of a complete suspension revamp, including aftermarket k-member, big Wilwoods, rack/pinion and welding in some chassis bracing to keep it a little tight. I have Magnum Force tubular adjustable control arms, subframe connector and Hotchkis rear leaf springs, but might upgreade to indecent rear later on.

I thought this was what the first post "suspension modification" was for??!

Sticky topics that are up there too long tend to become invisible and get overlooked.

Besides, I think this topic was not ment for indept and detailed project-coverage from everyone but just a short general update what everyone is doing these days on their cars.

Does anyone update his post in the Modification Register-topic at all?

Edit:
Just noticed a topic's EDIT-function disappears after some time, so any updates would have to be done as a new reply on the Modification-topic.

Makes me wonder how useful an un-editable topic is as a 'Modification Register'...

1977 Volare Road Runner. Replacing the entire front k-frame with a modified aftermarket kit for installing Gen I Dakota IFS parts into a 56 Ford F100. Tricky, but it's a good fit. Still working it.
