When you're done with your fixture just rattle can it and toss it in the backyard. Keep tossing stuff in the backyard n eventually you'll get up to my level.

I have two huge i-beams and some other beings and angles for my chassis jig stuff. Just in case you want a back half that thing and just put one single 8-foot wide tire back there

By the way you ever get around to building your jig / fixture? I have a bunch of scrap steel tube etc...a good bit of it a bit Rusty on the surface begging for a good home
Plus I have 12 buckets of miscellaneous hardware

I might take some of it off your hands, but I already have jig material. Still need to make my jigs though. Pretty complex given all of the varying angles on different axis. I don’t want to get it wrong.

I like your single 8’ tire idea, should work great ???

These things mounted and on the car yet??

Christ I wish man, warm weather can't come soon enough. I am thinking about getting them mounted soon, but it will be even more of a dick tease. With how tall and wide these tires are I will need to put the rear isolators back in the car to give these things some room.

Will be dialing in the rear and front suspension with these works of art, pulled the trigger last night.

That’s a sweet kit.
I have the billet rear control arms waiting to be installed on mine too.
Are you doing it all yourself?
One of the control arms is a bitch because you can’t undo the factory bolt without either lowering the cradle or cutting off the head off the bolt. (I’ll probably be doing the later).

Yeah I will do the install myself, still need to pick up the BMR cradle lockout kit. I am going to lower the cradle.

Shawn, I'm going to need a beer assistant and also someone to watch my 2.5 year old if I have any hope of the wife letting me spend some hours in the garage this spring to get all the shit I ordered installed. Will you be that guy for me? Lol

Absolutely. I'll get him or her throwing and catching a baseball before your done with your car

 

[SleeperLS]

Those look awesome man. You have really gone above and beyond making this thing right.

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Also please finalize his potty training and maybe we can even get him riding a bike too while you're out!

Thanks dude, still need to figure out the driveshaft piece. Right now there is only one company that offers a 2 piece design for the manual Hellcats and that is Mark Williams. The driveshaft alone cost $3,254.

There are other companies that offer 1 piece designs, but they all have some sort of vibration issue at times in the 65-80mph range. I don't want that. I need to have a conversation with Wiles, supposedly they are making a 2 piece but not sure how close they are to completion.

I guess a 2 piece is necessary due to the length from the trans to the diff and the 1 piece units reach critical speed, which is what causes the issue.

That's basically with all newer cars. The same is said for S550 Mustangs about needing a 2 piece, but 90% of people dont have issues. Most likely, you will not have vibrations with a 1 piece, but there is always a chance. I know there is ZERO chance I'd be coughing up over $3k for a driveshaft, thats for sure! lol

It better be for that price! Is it any lighter than stock?

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

No clue, but it is rated to some ridiculous HP/TQ numbers

Thanks Gav!
