Rebirth of Dustbull-with 408ci, efi, t56, dana 60
Thanks a lot guys! Im hoping in a week or two to try and start it- My summer classes start monday, so ill be up there all week. My friend and i will hopefully get the intake welded up in tampa during that week. Then im planning it so that all i need to do is bolt the intake and injectors on and try to start it whenever i can get a break to come down here.
Im horrible at estimating weight, but rite now the fiberglass hood feels a good 20lbs+ lighter than the steel, ill weigh it before it gets primer on it...and i cant wait for the hood to be done either haha! Even though i got the hood for a good price, it must have been a poor quality piece originally, because ive spent more time correcting its faults then modifying it..
No photo-worthy progress on the hood, just grinding 'glass down and adding it elsewhere. I finished all the fuel lines i can until the new intakes on the car,I started laying out the efi wiring too (only ~10 wires).
And jtolbert: Its a 68 Gladiator thriftside, It has no floors and no bed they were so rusted out. I bought my 96 ram as a parts donor for it. im putting the cummins, 6spd manual, dana 60 front, and dana 80 rear underneath the kaiser..that project should be starting the second the demons done.
