Default New from SC, w/ '67 Coronet 500

Plans for it include a 440, 5-spd, and a lot of suspension work, and some aero mods. I'll post some better pics soon.

Got any torsion bar size suggestions? I was thinking like 1.12 maybe.

Not sure how far you are wanting to go but I would can the torsion bars and do an air ride kit.

This photo reminds me of my cousin's back yard in Louisiana.

Cool car should be different and I like that.

How well does the air ride handle though? Honestly, ride quality is not a concern for this car, I just want it to grip.

That's my junkyard It should be pretty different, I haven't seen a '67 done PT style yet, or any style other than restored or drag car for that matter.

car looks like it has alot of potential , on my 68 coronet i went with .960 mopar performance torsion bars and forget the rest of the suspension lol i wanted to do an alterkation front memeber with power rack and pinion but it was outside my budget so i went all out on what i could so i have firm feel tubular upper control arms with cap automotive tubular lowers ( he is the only guy that i know of that makes a tubular lower for mopars) then i went with firm feel billet strut rod bars and then used firm feel 13/16 tie rods and also his sterring box , then i used hotchkis 1-1/8 tubular sway bar in front with 7/8 in back i can keep going if u want more info i will post more but car handels like a new corvette unreal and i live in nyc and trust me its firmly planed to the ground not to mention its about 6" off the grounf from bottom of the body seam under the car just my 2C

All depends on how much $$$ you wanna spend. A Schwartz or Morrison Chassis would be killer. Reillly Motor sports AlterKtion and Street Lynx would be great too. XV motorsports makes really cool stuff for mopars but cost as much as a full chassis would (in parts).

A beefed up stock mopar suspension can be built to handle good too.

Love the Coronets, used to have one. It has a wider track than the 68 Charger I'm building. You need any input, feel free to holler. Thank God it's not another 69 Camaro. I mean really Chevy dudes, how many more variations of a cookie cutter car can ya'll do? Just talking sh#t... I love anything pro-touring.
