Finally, rear discs

After more than a month of getting wrong parts from vendors, I finally have one side put together.

This is a rendering of what the Polara should look like when it is all done.  Post your comments.

Front suspension complete

The arrival of the steering rack and sway bar completes my front suspension

Thanks for nothing Moser!

Well it started off with the rear end not fitting.  I had them install the back brace on the custom 9 inch I had built.  It hit the shocks.  When I called them about it they said notch it for clearance.  What a pain that was.  Then I pull out the axles to put it together and even though I double checked with them, the pressed the bearings on the axles and I had to buy another set of bearings and have my backing plates pressed on first.  Then the icing on the cake, after going through all that the passengers side axle was a 1/2 inch too long.  When I challenged them on it, they blamed me.  They said I talked to them about a Detroit truetrac (which I didn't) which uses a longer axle.  I had to email them back and ask them to help me fix it.  They offered to send me out another axle.

They offered no apology for the other problems I had.  Not so much as an acknowledgement that there was a problem.  They didn't offer to replace the housing I had to notch.  They didn't offer to pay to have it re-coated.  They didn't offer to pay for the bearings they were not supposed to press on.  They offered to send me the right length axle and a return label to send the other one back.  It is probably the worst customer service I have had in a long time.  I guess I can say they were prompt in getting back to me.  First thing Monday morning I had an email back.  Even thought it was blaming me for the current problem.

End of the rear end

It took all day to knotch the back brace on the rear end, clean it up, and install the center section. Its pretty tough to do by yourself on the garage floor

Rear end is back from powder coating

They did a terrible job. It has runs.  The gasket surfaces have coating on them. Not good. If you order a custom moser housing don't get the backbrace. Be prepared to massage it to fit if you do.

Tubular front suspension

This is a complete tubular crossmember and adjustable a arm setup for my car.  Designed by AJE racing it uses stock spindles and brakes.  I should mention that this kit is now available for purchase.  Email me for pricing.  The whole front end, crossmember, and suspension weighs about 80 pounds.  Simply amazing!

Brakes and Axles

All this stuff is waiting for the rear end to get back

Rear suspension revised

The moser fabricated 9 inch is off getting powder coated. Its due back tomorrow. The stock 8.75 is on the floor and ready to find it's way to storage.
