Hydro King's suspension upgrades

Great pics, Hydro King! I do not like the way my frame twists in the middle, what I would like to have is some kind of an X brace welded into my frame with a way to have a driveshaft loop fastened to it to take out that twist. Twisting can NOT be good for the frame or the body. JB

WOW!! That looks amazing!! Sweet Job!!!!!

That is a serious work of art!!

Thank you, you guys rock.

Can you give us a list of the mods, the parts and suppliers, etc? Thanks.

Wow!!! Truly impressive, Hydro King! Very well thought out and impeccably executed. I'd like to do something similar only retaining OEM type coil springing rather than coil-over shocks though. Can you give us a rundown of parts and mods you've made to your chassis? Including welding and any beefing up or relocating of suspension mounting points? Also, any recommendations regarding handling and stopping upgrades?

As JB mentioned, I would like to stiffen my chassis against twisting and flexing as well. Any thoughts on how best to do that without making it hard to drop the tranny or install a 3" dual exhaust system? I like the beefy trans crossmember and driveshaft loop. Did that stiffen things up a bit?......



Are you building your own headers, or have you found some that are a good fit for this chassis? My stroker small block will need 1-7/8" primaries and 3" collectors.

Many thanks,

Harry

DRRRROOOOLLLL.... NICE WORK MAN! I cant wait to do that with mine!

Last I heard was a relative got it and was going to finish it, but I don't know how true that is. It probably went to the crusher or worse yet made into one of those cars that like to jump rope like I did when I was a kid. JB

From the last time I had talked to Salura the body shop guy was gonna finish it and / or give it to Hydro's Son

Thats what one of my neighbors told his daughter when she put nude photos on Facepage or whatever its called. JB

Wow------- That just amazing, hope it gets done, sounds like he was well liked and yes it would be awesome to get finished and his son be able to share something that his dad worked so hard on--RIP
