I can't see any grease fittings on the suspension. They are factory sealed.

Hello all. I am back with another series of updates to the Charger model. I decided to fab up a new dash and instrument panel because ...well, that's what I do.

Not looking too bad. This will be the final suspension setup as it is right now. The stiffeners for the rear half of the chassis are in place and with a little more work to do we can disassemble it and send it to paint.

Most of the major component have been fabricated or are on the way to being fabbed up. Just for fun I decided to bolt the engine and all of the main ancillaries together. Not a drop of glue was used. When this kit is done, should I want to.....it could be disassembled right down to the frame and engine block.

A good look at the Panhard bar and the in frame swivel with the additional tubing on the shock mounts.
