Got another item checked off the "To do" list on the wagon. 8.8 rear is in, Trick uppers are installed and we just finished up these home built lower control arms.

Those arms look nice but you are going to have problems getting those on with the 8.8.
The stock 8.8 lowers are at a different angle and don't point directly at the g-body lower mount. An adjustable lower with hiems is likely going to be needed.

That was a concern I had which is why we built these. They fit perfect.
Nice. I know mine didnt. Seems to be hit or miss. Once I do my TRZ lower brackets I'm going to try and mimic the stock angles.

pagrunt did you make to parts-a-rama?
Yea Jr. & I made it but it was a sad thing this year. You would of liked it cause there were many classic (& in need) chainsaws there. Other than those it was more Mopar parts-a-rama cause there were more partsfor them than anything else. If I would of ever got my '71 Plymouth I want things would of been great. Then if I knew the wife wouldn't kill me, I could of dragged a '58 Biscayne home. Did meet up with UC645 who hooked up Jr. with a 3rd gen Camaro plate door.

I was there for about an hour and a half this morning. Got in and got out. It was very lame. Lots of chicom tools that are cheaper at Harbor Freight, miscellaneous crankshafts, heads and blocks that look like they sat at the bottom of a lake for 10 years, plenty of $400 TH350s that you have no way of verifying the condition of, taillights for your 2004 Explorer Sport Trac, chrome bumpers that are rusted and pitted beyond repair, used K&N air filters priced like new ones.

I did see a nice 3120 Husqvarna that the guy wanted $1k for. I'd love to have it but that's a little over blue book value and I lose interest at anything over wholesale. Plus I gotta stay focused on the Skylark anyways.

Next time give me a heads up that you diks are there! UC645 pagrunt
