I had a friend with a Cuda have the same hack work done, but that was twenty years ago.....it's a shame people don't check out referances BEFORE handing over the car and handing out the cash......

I have seen the work Bruning is doing first hand, and being biased because I know Tim and his work, I would take advantage of the fact the car is there now and the price is most definately right for the level of work.:thumbsup:

For the other Mopar guys, and Bob's Camero.....Tim is in no way partial to cutting up any make of car to make it better. A Challenger or Cuda will stand out in the sea of Nova's and Camero's for sure, but like any car, it's all in the deatils and the less obvious the mods, the better the job.

I used to like this guy, I thought we might be good friends. Work on a few projects together, until he said CAMERO. Must be a mopar or ford guy!!
BLAMPHAMY!!!! LOL

Stupid thing is Bob, I owned a 68 Camaro...........:hail:

Chalk it up to hunt and peck typing and 14hr days..hahaha

okay you redeemed yourself

Ned - Great to see the progress that is going on the right direction. You are building one over-the-top cuda and I have to say I'm jealous as heck. Good luck in the coming months with all the details coming together. Has your paint scheme changed since you moved the car to Brunig? Keep us up to date.

More updates..I had Air Ride install the internal ride sensors in my Shockwaves and then had them sent to Bruning so we could use them for mock up.. I also got some air lines etc so we could air it up and down easily

The front rim/tire is from Robs Demon...thanks Rob :)... it really helps to have an actual rim and tire rather than just a tire.....much easier to really get the overall look by having a center etc. My front tire diameter will be about an inch bigger than Robs, so raise the car alittle more from here too....

Now tell me the car doesnt sit too high !!! It looks like a frickin 4x4 with a 19/20 combo at the standard Air Ride ride height...... so more changes :)

This is the car with the "standard" brackets etc with the car completely aired out.......now it looks cool, but this is with it dropped all the way !!!

Its got a cool stance now.....but once again this is with it all aired out, so the from crossmember is like 2 inches off the ground..not driveable at all

This is the proposed new stance once the front k-member and rear brackets are modified. The plan is to basically "notch" the front frame, move the k-members up into the frame and then "shorten" the rear upper shock mounts

This will make the new ride height be almost as low as the "fully dropped" original stance if I leave the "standard" set up

By doing this it will still allow me to have about 5 inches ground clearence at the lowest point of the crossmember at ride height and plenty of clearence in the back. I will need to mod the tunnel to clear the driveshaft, but not a big deal... so a much better stance without making the car have undriveable ground clearence..

A 1000x better....much more aggressive of a look. I can also fine tune it with the Air Ride......its gonna be more work and more $$ but the 4x4 look would kill the rest of the car..... if it doesnt sit right, the rest of the cars can be wicked but it will never be "right'

As many K members i have heard about being modified this way, I am suprised they have not changed the design. looks awesome

I agree - the ride height was high. Are you going to have to notch the rear frame to tuck the axle ?
