Think I'm going to want to lower the rear an inch or two to snug those rear tires up into the wheel opening.

It's a kit I bought from US Car Tool. Pretty reasonable too, $750 even with the drilled and slotted rotors and powder-coated calipers and spindles. Oh yeah, the calipers are still out getting powder coated. Here's the Car Tool link:

That's purdy.

Someone's making front spring hangers with dual mounting locations, but I forget who. Might have seen 'em on fleabay.

Probably US Car Tool... that's what John recommended I do to lower the rear, so that'll probably happen. :D

Get that other Challenger yet?

I'm planning to go to Carlisle, just wondering if any other Nesters will be bringing cars and parking together?

I'll be there as every year, but no plans to bring either of the runners. We'll probably cruise out in my buddies new Challenger.

Thanks Gionni. It looks even better now that the headliner is done, interior is in and the engine detailing and wiring are complete. I just haven't been taking pics. Too busy sweating over this thing I guess. I'm right up against it for Carlisle, one wrong step or anything goes wrong and the car won't make it... wouldn't be the end of the world I guess, but would really be disappointing to come so far recently after 5 LONG years apart.
