Dead Cat 2.0: Jake'sTorque Arm Install

[Payton King]

I am ready to try this again. I think I am going to write text and then post pictures as when I tried to do both yesterday it was freezing up.

For those of you that do not know who Dan Holohan is, he use to work for Troy at Rad Rides and then went to DSE for 3 years. Opened up his own shop a year ago and it filled up quickly. He just took over the space next door. For a brief moment I thought about doing the re-tub and torque arm install myself, but with limited space, skills and 2 boys 11 and 8, it was too much for this old dude. Dan's work is some of the best I have ever seen and has proved it on my car. Look him up at www.holohanshotrods.com Not sure if he has them up or not but he has maybe 500 pictures of this build. I have 260 and will try to post plenty but not so much that it is boring.

First up is the mini-tub. When the car was originally built I only tubbed it over about 1.5 inches to clear the 285's I was running. Big mistake, now I have to take a completed car and cut it up to make room for the 335's. I hate when tires rub, so Dan actually widened the DSE tubs. Now for the pics

I generally don't prefer yellow cars but man, there is something so classy about this one...looks fantastic!

Are those DSE tubs that Dan widened or stock one that he widened?? Looks like a great start to the refresh/rebuild

Payton,

You'll enjoy this. When my JRS setup arrived, the box that my axle housing was in had your name on it. I called Jake all worried that he had somehow swapped our housings, but he assured me it was just an issue of picking a random box to rehouse it after the brackets were attached.

Wish I was as far along as you, but I can't wait to get this JRS stuff under a car and on the road!

Looking good Payton, was wondering when you would post this thread. Project is looking good, dont hold out on us we need more pics

Sorry that I was gone all weekend. Had an 18 year aniversary with my lovely wife and she needed some attention.

Yes those were DSE tubs that were widened.

Carbuff, the shipping thing was real jacked up but it finally came in and obviously you got your stuff as well.

Tubs going in
