One damn beautiful car. I always liked the '71-'72 in that color... one of my favs.

You just reminded me again of the quality difference between Legendary kits and the one's I got from PGI... now I want to cry

They are making foam for our seats now? The last time I looked, there was some for E-bodies, but didn't think that would work. Great news if they do!

I picked up a seat foam set from PG Classic's
ebay site a while back. Overall very close to the original, seat bottoms lacked the spring matting and wires that were molded into the originals, pretty easy to recreate a replacement with some burlap and piano wires pulled from one of the left over Satellite back beats.

25 ½" dead on, all four corners. Last measurements were taken when front ride height was set prior the initial alignment. At that time, sill to ground was something like 7 1/4" rear and 7" front as I recall. The car was not yet complete and short rear seats and some interior trim, likely a couple hundred pounds lighter. I couldn't be happier with the cars stance, have heard some crappy things about those Mopar Performance HD leaf springs.

Nanaimo! I don't know about driving the RR up there for a car show but would love to get back up there sometime soon to dive the
HMCS SASKATCHEWAN again. Better yet, drive up to Barkley Sound to dive the wreck of the
VANLENE again, with it's cargo of 300 72' Dodge Colts.
