Beest's AMX build

[barrybelvedere]

Is it your primary vehicle now?

 

[Beest]

Yes. The little bushings in the wiper linkage are worn out. I'm temporarily fixing it for today and I'm ordering the bushings tomorrow. They're like .50 each. I just had to figure out how to get old arms off so I could get the cowl off. I guess I could've asked the Mopar nut.....

 

[Beest]

OK. That's done. Updates after dinner.

 

[Beest]

We have a slider.

I just got my Dlux titanium lowers on and my uppers are allthead for now. I spent some time getting my wheelbase just right, and I'll be getting the shocks on tomorrow after work.

Thanks slick! [emoji2]

That's the plan. Just haven't had a chance to sign up yet. I've been covered up busy, between working on the vehicles here, and getting ready for my sons birthday party. I've had more to do and less time to do it. Lol

This year we will be driving my GF's 2014 Explorer to NENC. It has more room than my Grand am. Also having a friend from the Minnesota club coming with to his first NENC. Hey Beest I just mapquested the route from MN to PA it's not thru Indy. That adds 4 hours of extra drive time.

 

[Beest]

Your call on which way you roll. But Im not driving the dodge to PA. Lol

Thanks! The bushings were 3.99 for a pack. I'll pass on the rain x

So after I got everyone to bed I had a little time to wrench on the rig. I got the shocks mounted on the truck. I'm going to have to limit them on the inside, the down travel is excessive. Here's a pic of today's progress.

I am aware that you have adjusted the rear shock situation. But i would move the top links up one or two holes at the chassis and level it out with the bench.

 

[Beest]

That's my plan. I should have updates later. After dinner. [emoji2]

That's a Long dinner!

Beest gotta eat!

So, I got my new wheels in from crawler innovations. 1" 6 bolts. Light, strong and inexpensive! Gotta love Em.

I also limited my shocks 1/2" in the front ad 1/4 in the, rear testing will show if its right. I got the electronics in and soldered up. It's not the prettiest wiring job but it'll do for me. Plans for tomorrow are to
Get the panels on and get out for some testing. Here's a few random pics, opinions/observations welcome!
