Gotta love a black musclecar! Years back I had a 69 Roadrunner with a pretty much rustfree desert southwest body and no drivetrain, and I let it get away from me. I have no idea what I was thinking back then!

Beautiful brother 🍻🍻

Thanks guys. I was able to get a decent amount of caster with the QA1 upper control arms, combined with the other steering and front suspension upgrades it drives like a totally different car. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it...

Yeah, these old Mopars have a lot better steering feel with a lot of caster, they weren't designed with a lot of steering input to the driver.

When I had the engine out of my Cuda I took a portapower to it and spread the shock towers some to compensate for the years of stress. I also did some extra welds on the shock towers to minimize flexing. I just had my local front end guy do an alignment and he was able to get 3 degrees positive caster on both sides, and I can definitely tell the difference.

I was shooting for 5 degrees, and ended up with 4.9 degrees positive caster. The other thing that made a huge improvement was getting the thrust angle down to .05 degrees. I used to have to herd it down the highway, now it tracks straight as an arrow…
