Whatever it was, it looks great!

Steering box back in after changing the pitman arm and seals. Upper arms re bushed with offset items in an attempt to gain some caster.

Re: Jason's Polara
Front end assembled with all new bushes and ball joints, I’m using Challenger spindles to convert to disc brakes.

Re: Jason's Polara
Is that a straight bolt in conversion?

Re: Jason's Polara
Yes it is, you just need the right combination of parts.

Re: Jason's Polara
Just need to find the dust caps and sort the brake hoses and that’s that bit done, the calipers are ‘73 Charger and the rest of it is Challenger.

Re: Jason's Polara
Bottom column bush was mostly missing so I got a piece of nylon off eBay and Royden kindly spun me a new one up on his lathe.

Re: Jason's Polara
That’s an excellent conversion, you learn something new every day.
Enjoying watching the progress, it’s an interesting build.

Re: Jason's Polara
The Aeroquip Hoses I got with the calipers are not going to work in this application, I’ve ordered some banjo fittings that should fit in the tight space.

Re: Jason's Polara
It’s tight but banjo bolts do the trick, we have brakes!

Re: Jason's Polara
Added some 15” wheels on the front with tall tyres, chrome acorn nuts break it up a bit. Waiting for a handbrake cable, the exhaust system and a new set of plugs before I can finish. No doubt there will be the usual debugging to do once it’s mobile.

Re: Jason's Polara
Great work Blue, the plucked chicken is looking real good. Great colour combo, the black & blue. I imagine quite rare?
