Hot rods and motorcycles, especially Harleys, go together for a lot of people, including Almir Rocha from São Paulo, Brazil.Hot rods and motorcycles, especially Harleys, go together for a lot of people, including Almir Rocha from São Paulo, Brazil. After a while driving his heavily customized '59 F-100 truck, which he named Blue Rock, he got a hankering to build something new. As soon as he saw one of Harley's Night Rod Specials, an all-black, badass version of its V-Rod muscle bike, Almir knew that was the look he wanted. And to keep the free and rebellious spirit of his two-wheeled muse, Almir had the perfect base: a '28 Chrysler Model 72 Roadster that used to be a Carretera (old cars prepared for racing, very popular in Brazil and Argentina in the '50s and '60s). It was to be a hot rod from another era, a roadster with a growling V-8 and the sensations of freedom, power, and rebellion offered by a Harley.inline_mediumwraptextright00Brazilians aren't just mad about soccer-they're also ravenous Formula 1 fans. So we're not surprised that stuff like this road-racey-looking Chrysler is on the roads there. The wheels are Billet Specialties Bonnevilles, 17x7 in front and 18x10 in back, with sticky Pirelli P Zero tires, 225/45 and 315/35, respectively.30356164/featuredvehicles/hrdp_1010_almir_rocha_1928_chrysler_model_72_roadsterhrdp_1010_01_o+almir_rocha_1928_chrysler_model_72_roadster+front.jpgtrue

You know the feeling, it's about to break loose and then snap . . . often accompanied by bloody knuckles and various words that can't be used in front of children. And while a broken fastener is bad enough, attempting to remove it improperly can only make matters worse, adding to your aggravation.inline_mediumwraptextright00While working on your Mopar is generally fun, breaking a bolt can ruin your day.

Getting Rid Of The Play In Your Lx's SuspensionIt seems that today's cars have more soften-the-ride suspension bushings than we can even count. What's even more surprising is how poorly these bushings actually perform when it comes to handling. Thankfully, there are companies like Pedders who identify the shortcomings these late-model cars suffer from and provide solutions for nearly every rubber piece on the car. They call it "Pedderising" and we call it "required."inline_mediumwraptextright0030055762/techarticles/suspension/mopp_1010_chrysler_300_pedders_usa_lx_suspension_upgrademopp_1010_01_o+lx_suspension+suspension.jpgtrue
