Still alive. Huge piles of parts including gears, an A518, and a trick flow top end but everything on hold for at least another year as my family relocates. Meanwhile, enjoy some noises...

I want a "smooth" ride. It's why I kept the rubber control arm bushings and the rear isolator pads. But I don't want wallowing. The factory front bars seem VERY under-sprung (or they age poorly). With 5 leafs in the back I'm forced to run my rear rebound damping at jack-down levels and my front...

And on what a 28" tire? My lord what does that thing rev to by the end of a 1/4mile? 8000rpm on stock heads? And a 12.80 with that weight means the car has to be making at least 380hp. Stock Eliminator is some serious witchcraft.

Those transmissions are between 3 and 4 thousand dollars alone. Then you're adding hydraulic clutch bits and flywheel, disc, pressure plate, tunnel, crossmember, bushing, and related shifter mods. Did you ever think of maybe just... Passon Performance A-855 Five Speed Transmission

16x8 on 4" backspacing (zero offset) with 255/50R16 BFG Gforce Sports. Needed a slight rolling of the rear inner fender pinchwelds on the lowered M-body And some flat head hardware on the front wheel arch trim of the F-body. In other words, pretty much the absolute fattest square setup you can...

Hmm. A500 and tail lights you say? email'd.

HA! Oh you're sick. That is definitely some good looking analog vintage tech for it's own sake. I love it.

To be fair I have only connected it via Bluetooth (which very noticeably compresses the feed compared to the over-USB audio when I compare the 2 modes in my Challenger) and I've asked it to drive some 6x9" and 3.5" aftermarket coaxials without the help of even a factory amp (which I remember...

Then when the weather warmed up things got a little more serious. I moved the Bilsteins to the Volare I was selling and swapped on my Vi-King 2 way adjustable shocks. I swapped on the Volare's old 16x8 5 slot rallys with thick BFG Sport summer tires. ESPO 5 leaf rear springs recurved 1" taller...

I bought it to drive it so I made a couple changes and drove it to work on nice days for most of the year. I pulled the well corroded alloys and crusty boomer Radial T/As (along with decorative plates and weird 90s Magnum v8 badges). Rattle-canned the 6 slots and bought a set of smooth new...

Pops owned at least 4 M bodies and I owned 2 in my early driving years. I missed them. So I agreed to sell my Volare wagon project to a friend of mine (kept some of the parts for myself) and went in search of a Diplomat. I found a gem built by a Mopar nut. Freshened up and pretty heavily...

Is this your way of telling me to start that damn build thread? Lol

I've been waiting for the drift kids to get tired of looking at 90s Japanese plastic. There's a world of cool looking iron hulks out there just begging to be welded onto an angle/lock kit and paired with some slow motion Instagram sliding. ... But let him know if was looking for maximum...

I also got the call. Still on the list since about 2019. Invoiced for 1 set but I would buy 2 sets if needed. Lets get this done.

You should hear it.

Moved over to the above Diplomat or sold with the car. I'll try to get a project thread going for the M body shortly.

I sold the Volare to a local friend who was better at wagon vibes. He ended up at the same event...

I went a step further on my wagon with Kframe metal pucks, Vi-King adjustables, 16x8s, and FirmFeel HD (Cuda) rear drop leaf kit... but my previous M body was just cop bars, 15s, and KYBs to great (and admittedly more comfortable) effect.

1) Wheelbase is plenty long to fight snap anything. Weight transfer in this car is easy especially if you're working to take the lateral wiggling out of it all. 2) The % of weight that the rear glass represents in the car vs the steel in a sedan is actually pretty negligible. These are more like...

It was born on the 4th of July... I know because by that point it was a month after my initial order and I was bothering them for a status update daily. lol

2.9% for 72 months was too good to pass up. Been waiting 5 years to do this. The Volare is safe in the garage and waiting for a trans swap in cooler weather.
