    Antifreeze leak

    Looks like it could also be a leak from the lower hose connection at the water pump. Get it warm and under pressure an look carefully for the source. Just keep in mind that coolant usually runs down hill , so look up.

    FMJ with Super Stock springs

    Not too concerned with ride or handling right now as the hope is to duplicate "old school " street car stuff like the 70's. Guess that dates me a bit, but at my age both may still become an issue ! LOL!! The Right hanger is in the pictures as well as the clearance notch in the gusset. As I said...

    FMJ with Super Stock springs

    The Mancini front hangers combined with "G Body" springs fit my Aspen perfectly with no mods. I have replaced the 8 1/4 " rear axle with an 8 3/4" and eliminated the rubber iso suspension but I don't believe the distances were effected. This advice came from "Professor Fate " from here and was...

    Muffler clearance.

    Tail pipes are the next plan. Needed to get these in place to measure the lengths and bends first. Thanks !!

    Muffler clearance.

    Alright folks. I hate to pose a problem and not follow up with a solution, so here goes ! Hedman Headers sells " Header X-Tensions that solve the interference issue with an S bend. The ones I needed , (part # 18701), are 23" long and fit perfectly. They are also available in varying lengths so...

    Muffler clearance.

    I appreciate the input , thanks ! Was just concerned about possibly damaging the "glass pack" insert. Shouldn't take much to create the clearance needed. Thanks again !!

    Muffler clearance.

    I purchased a pair of header mufflers and found that the left one doesn't fit correctly on the header flange due to a very small interference with the floor reinforcement on my Aspen RT. Considering bending the inlet pipe or possibly creating a small dent in the muffler case to solve the issue...

    Hood Scoop ??.⁶

    Thanks for the positive response. I really like the look myself. Had the same scoop on my race car, (Charger) , in the 70's. That one was sealed to the hood , but we'll see where this one goes. Racing "Super Stock " on weekends was long ago! LOL!!!

    Hood Scoop ??.⁶

    9SECRR , Thank you for the pictures and the great advice. The whole project went well thanks to you telling me to not worry about the reinforcements. I didn't expect the engine center to be slightly right and I'm still not sold on moulding tape holding it on , but we'll see what happens. Again...
