Looks great, bring it up the turnpike and give it a run. TRP is open and under new mangement with big plans for the coming season. Also there is a Mopar Point Series race you might be interested in 5 races this season all within a few hours of your home base. It needs a good AMC to shake it up.  ]]> Sat, 03 Mar 2012 14:21:55 +0000 http://theamcforum.com/forum/69-amx-racecar-makeover_topic26156_post343031.html#343031 69 AMX racecar makeover : Looking good http://theamcforum.com/forum/69-amx-racecar-makeover_topic26156_post247818.html#247818 Author: amcsc

Great looking project. 
 
I like the look of that seat, but my limited experience with overstuffed seats is that no matter how hard I pulled at the belts it just squished me further down into the foam and never really got tight.
When I put in the cheap Kirkey seat I felt like I was driving a real race car, you feel EVERYthing.  It was like a soap box derby at 100mph Thumbs Up

Its not a ford, i didn't even think of that being a ford cubic inch when i posted this. and now i'm setting here thinking why would we want to slow it down by putting a ford in it.

anyhow the sliders are suppose to further eliminated any bind in the leaf spring and it prevents over tightening the the shackle bolts since you now have a bearing there. and shackle rocking on launch which would be more of an issue of your not running solid bushings. they are also suppose to keep more constant pressure on the spring as the car goes down track. but mainley our chassis guy runs them on deep 9 second car and says it hooks and goes straight so where using them.

"its not a ford!"
Sweet!
I glanced at this the other day and thought it was another Bastard thread and kept going.
I like the way it sets over those 28x11's, looks real good.
We would love to see some Pics. of it off the jack stands when you're done.
What are the advantages of the sliders over shackles?

I take that it is going to be a ford engine in your car. 428
Is it going to be a the big block or a stroked small block.
