Thanks keepat, it takes longer staring at it and figuring out how I want it done then it does to make the stuff lol. Got the shock locations and upper trailing arm mounts done today.  Hopefully my other 2 axle clamps show up tomorrow so I can finish the mock up

Does that include the QA1 coilovers?
Could you post links to where you buy the joints and pieces that you didn't make?   Very interested in fabing up something like this if I do another build.   :2thumbs:   :coolgleamA:

Had to patch where the side exhaust is going to exit the quarter on both sides, it was just rotted too bad. Can't wait to actually see the exhaust on it. I ordered spintech 3" side exhaust mufflers and nice slant cut dual stainless tips. It will be x piped too, makes it sound more aggressive and adds rpm to the exhaust note.

Yes that was coil overs included. I ordered stuff from tmr and pirate4x4. Then the axle clamps and heims from lefthanderracing.

The side exhaust will look awesome! Most mopar with a 4 link just stop the exhaust forward of the rear as there's no room for the exhaust pipe. The side exhaust will be a lot of work but worth it for the cool factor!

I love how this is coming along!  Suspension looks fantastic and the exhaust is going to be an awesome touch. Everything about this build screams fun.

Yeah it would be a lot more simple to just dump the exhaust, but how many quarter panel exhaust exit chargers are out there...lol. I want to also make A small 2" rear spoiler and a chin spoiler to also add more racer look to it. I'm sooo...gonna wear a mullet and fake mustache driving this car around town blarring the radio to scorpions lol can't wait

Heated seats...lol I'm hoping it won't be too bad, they will be ceramic coated and a heat shield made. Spintech lefts...not me, I'm still waiting for my mufflers, we're supposed to be here days ago
