Thanks Sir! I've same opinion about tools and knowledge. The biggest problems for guys like me that live in Brazil is the cost to buy parts abroad... ie: Cost of original Assassin is $390.00, but we have shipping costs, around $150.00 + federal taxes that is Part Cost + Shipping X 2... So, total cost grow up to $1080.00... Can you believe that? So everything that I can build, I will build myself.

Thanks Dustin, You are right. Build a Muscle Car in Brazil is a hard work, specially for Mopar Guys.

Yes. Very nice work, guys. I hope it all works out for you. Thanks Man!!! Next step is build leaf spring sliders. But don't like change two things at the same time. So I want to test Assassin at the Track and after install sliders to have a comparisson.

I see you drilling the front of spring, is this how the front segment is attached? Any pics once that part is installed? Like a time warp back to the 50s-60s when you had to make parts for the car. Yes, I drilled a 5/16 hole in the front of spring and this hole is to prevent that front of assassin "walk" back and forward in the spring. Front of assassin is attached by two 5/16 clamps like you can see in the pictures below. Last saturday I ran 200mi with my car and the bars are sweet to run on the street. Unfortunately I forget to get pictures of the Traction Bars installed but next weekend I will take some pictures of the bars installed in my car and will post.
