Here is the process of the dash modifications. The gauge cluster will be anodized black, column is dash color with black accessories. Glovebox door is a push-to-latch catch, so it has no knobs. Under the dash is the stereo, ac unit, ecu, fuse panel(s) modules etc, accuair computer, compressor relays, electric wipers, and more.

Heres the rad cradle. Afco rad, hpi shroud assembly, vintage air condensor, based on the stock cradle.

We made sheet metal tail light pods and blended them in to the real patina....

Heres the chassis going together. You can see the modifided Ricks tank, Air ride compressors and tank under the floor, all wiring and plumbing on top of the frame so you cant see it when its assembled, etc.

We like to put a removable mounting bar under our dashes. We mount everything electronic to it and have connectors so that we can wire it out of the car and put it in, and remove it if we have to. Nothing is wired so that you would have to cut anything to remove any one component.

We have two main weatherpaks on either side of the firewall. All the left side wiring exits on the left, and the right on the right. This way, NO wires cross over on the car at all. This means you can hide all the wiring easy with no wires running accross the chassis or floor. Normally the accuair is mounted down with the valve blocks etc, we hid it up here.

All the wiring is clean and grouped once its all plugged in.

Our ac lines get treated to the same wire covering as our harnesses.

I really like this. Nice to see that it's a Hemi. I'm in the middle of designing my rear suspension and I have a question about the set up you have. It appears that when at ride height the upper front mount will be above the upper mount on the housing. Is that the case ? How did you determine where the mounts would be positioned on the frame ?

Actually, at ride height the lower bars are parrallell to ground and parallell to the chassis centerline. The upper links angle down towards the front of the car to give us our intersect/instant center (angle determined by suspension calculator)

So the frame mounts of the upper triangulated links are lower than the diff bracket mounts. The bars are actually less than 60 degrees triangulated too. We tried to give less angle for less bind (due to the air ride sweep) without sacrificing lateral control.

Everything seems to work on the computer, and it works well throughout the air ride sweep when assembled.

I always find air ride cars are a bit of a sacrifice to geometry.

The length on our upper bars are just shy of 75 percent of our lower links. We had to make the lower bars a bit longer so we could put the frame mount in a suitable place.

In this case it was all about working around the chassis, unlike some builds were whe can build the chassis around suspension.

Hope it helps. There is some great insight and comments in your suspension thread, I posted there too.

thanks. Sometimes its hard to tell what happens to the suspension at ride hieght from a pic of it aired out. I saw your comments on my suspension thread and I appreciate the input. :cheers:
