I watched on the big screen TV with the volume turned up. Sounds really good.

I’ve got stock street Hemi springs and I’d like it to be down about 1” - 1 1/2”.

could always use lowering blocks,
or re-arch the springs if it doesn't settle some

I'm going to put in an aftermarket stereo system in the car & it's been decades since I shopped for one. Pioneer & Alpine were top names for radios & Jensen triaxials were the speakers to get. Car radio stores where you could test them out seem to be a thing of the past so today, what's a decent easy-to-use radio, 6X9 speakers and amp to go with these days?

been 20 years since mine was done Dec 2005
it's a Pioneer removeable head unit, cd/cassette AM/FM
(the dash has already been cut, by the guy I got it from)
have no idea now what exact model,
it was about $200 back then on sale, at Best Buy, IIRC
2 6x9"s (don't remember, but a 'name brand', maybe Jensens) in back package tray
another $100s
1 in center of dash, (from Radio Shack, that fit perfect) org spot, $25
I didn't want to cut into the doors,
it's a 40watt per channel/speaker, it'll blow you out of the car
'on like 6 of 20 volume settings' nice crisp sound, digital display...

I really listen to FM mostly, a few CDs, has a Creedence CD in it now...

can't see it very well, bends in pretty good, doesn't look out of place
no more than a 'Tuff wheel' or the ProCar Elite seats on/in a 68 Plymouth

You could also pick up a pair of Firm Feel's leaf spring hangers. They are set up with holes for stock ride height or 1.5" dropped ride height. I used them to drop the rear of my Coronet. Cheers!

Yeah, I agree the CAA controls aren't the most intuitive I have ever used. But the system tells you pretty quick once it's on!

Yeah....IF the A/C is actually working!

Those seats look great. I'll bet they hold you in place much better than stock seats.

yeah they are nice & low too, I have a tall torso for 6'2"
so I chose them because of the height & liked the style, adjt. & separate headrests
so it doesn't look as much out of place

bolt in seat brackets, seat have slider on then already
I had to drill a couple 2 each seat for the inner/center holes, in the floor
68 RRs never had buckets

click on any of the photos, if interested, it has all the #s

it was like $750 total delivered in like 2012, more now

OK back to 'the Roach'

They certainly do. I had them in Uncle Bill's Cuda.
