Default ARRGG! Help Please!

Ok I broke a Tranny mount this weekend that was fun to fix. While under the car I noticed that I have a U-joint on one side of the rear end going bad and a wheel barring on the other side going bad. Ok now for the questions. Where is a good place to get beefed up aka racing trailing arms. Also while I have the rear end apart is there any thing else I should think about upgrading?

Umm, I think you should upgrade your hood to stock, and send me yours :jester
Can't get the wife to go for the stinger hood... at least not yet...


I think vette brakes and products

http://www.vettebrakes.com/ has them. I'd probably say its worth doing smart struts too while you are working on it..

Thanks now to find their catalog? I have it some where around here. While only thing not replaced on the suspension is the trailing arms. For the hood no prob If I ever decide to get rid of it, its yours. :lol:

I was at vettes at the Rock today in orlando, and there was a red 79ish (sorry, i'm no good for telling years after 73) there with the stinger hood, with the stinger done in black. And as luck would have it, I was parked just a couple spaces over and across from him too. I just about wanted to cry :cry :cry

Someday I'll talk the wife into it, and do the white stinger, and carry it back over the roof and backend as a racing stripe.. well, maybe. I think i'll photoshop that up first, to see how it looks
