ANd the hits just keep on coming :( Got the accusump pulled and bypassed. Fixed a small cooling issue (one fan not coming on and bad cap), even had time to put exhaust cutouts in since it was up on lift. LJASD@!!*(*!! alternator crapped out 7 miles from home. Made it on 11 volts to the house...

OK, W T F! Went out to check the coolant level etc. and the most impossible thing had happened. The car as an oil accumulator on it for reserve pressure. Sitting parked, off and cooling down the entire bottom of the accumulator blew off. Tossed 3 quarts of oil under pressure all over the...

Thanks for the comments! Just put in in the driveway, need to see if both fans are actually working and make sure there wasn't a pocket of air somewhere in the cooling system. Last 4 miles of a 37 mile run from the shop it ran up to 210 degrees. Letting it cool down to check fluid levels...

So close...:) This weekend is the big drive it and find things trip, probably 200 miles over three days combining rural and interstate. The quest for parts is now getting real fun when dealing with a less than popular model :( http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=293242

1st drive....learned a few things: 1st and formost make sure the damn gas gauge is actually freakin accurate. Talk about a bummer :( Thankfully I was able to not sit and wait on the side of the road, rolled into a huge entrance to a subdivision and called for gas. Once that bit of...

OK, I'll have the printout in the morning but.....finally got chassis dyno pulls done 478/485 @5K at the rear wheels on a conservative tune until I get some miles on it. All that's left is some piddly wiring cleanup, seatbelts and get the AC makin cold and a pesky inspection sticker. 1st real...

Bah, when it rains it pours....Not once but twice, ECU has decided to crap out an injector driver. STILL haven't managed to get a final tune on the car, it's still with my tuner waiting patiently for round trip #2 on the ECU. And the damn continuous duty solenoid for the alternator crapped out...

Getting close now! A few things to wrap up and a trip to a chassis dyno on the 12th to get the tune tweaked and everything getting a once over to make sure I didn't screw something up recently when cleaning up wiring etc. , it's decided to run pig rich to the point of a bit scary. Hopefully...

So close :) Finishing up some metal work inside to seal off the trunk from cabin, waiting on rear inside panels so seat stays out for now, fixing front seat mounts (not level), handles, mirror, loose ends...maybe Saturday for it's 1st real good drive! Got tailstripe on it, I think it made...

Waiting on door and trunk locks to arrive (Tuesday), install scoop for the last time, finish aligning bumpers, install passenger mirror, tidy up some wiring, filler neck, vent line, correct battery and a few other things and it'll be time to bring it home for final interior work and a few other...

Rear bumper and some tail end shots. Will probably do a little more detail work on the tailight housings….now for the front bumper Monday and hopefully the hood mid week As to the bumper supports, I need to clarify here, when I ditched the original crush sticks, the support frame...

Assuming I don't actually run into my screen name as an impediment I plan on it. Looking at your ride again, I noticed we took similar approach to the front grill treatment. Sure does make a beaker look better :) Odds are I'll be putting miles on it with not much interior for a bit...

Geez, I need to check in on myself more often....I'll have to ask later this week, I forget already Random update pics Side marker lights in Reworked the tail panel, blasted all of the old crud and lettering, painted hotrod black, painted the dodge in silver, did the trim around the...

Slowly making progress... Redoing work on the bumpers, changed out the rear bumper supports again to lighten them up, sectioned out a bunch of the front one to get it tucked in tight (forgot to get a mock up pic). For now the bumpers are going to be painted as chroming cost have gotten out...

Quickie update Oil leak -- fixed Water leak -- fixed Starter -- arrgghhh...seems the "it'll fit" list on TTIs site sucks, the ROBBMC starter that is supposed to fit my combo doesn't. It's sitting on a header tube and therefore won't square up with the bell housing, it's slightly cocked in...

Well, it lives, mostly :) 1st start - YouTube Quick start to check things out, shut it down due to below: Starter needs to be adjusted, need to remake an oil line for the valve-train oiling mod from MRL, somehow they managed to jack it up so it leaks, I'm guessing something bent the...

Thanks! Finally getting progress made, although it took a not so subtle threat to the shop that has the car. Will probably pull it and finish myself after it gets past initial start up, just to much BS and excuses for why nothing gets done days or weeks at a time. I mean really, how long...

1st the good news -- Engine is in, transmission, exhaust, driveshaft go in Monday. Did have to do an emergency locate for flywheel bolts, gotta love Amazon Prime, ordered yesterday, had em in my hands at noon :) Dash is coming along, should have all the plumbing bits, getting...

Lookin good! (Yeah, I'm partial to '74s)

Side shot Will be adding the tail stripes Front shot -- Radiator, A/C condenser, oil cooler+thermostat Looking other direction, you can see the breather can and the "easy-access" oil filter location Starting to wire it, this is the EFI harness hanging out over the master...

:burnout: Daaaauummm!! Took me long enough to get over to this thread, looks NICE! The more I see em, the more I'm liking The Beaks (yeah, I got one to) You're puttin together one sweet rid

Why I can't edit the other post ???

Wheee! :cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers: Body got shot this AM! All thats left is the hood and dash frame. Fenders/Doors/Trunk done and cleared, it's cool to see the difference before and after clear. [

Giggity giggity! :)

Been awhile in updating....busy with work trying to pay for this thing... Damn near ready for paint! Those were taken ~ 10 days ago, since then final gap adjustments made and final sand-n-fill the little stuff. One last prime then onto the underside/interior floors/firewall with something...

Body finally starting to get smoothed out, caught em just after a fresh skim coat application. In most places it's practically transparent (phone camera doesn't show this well). Was pleasantly suprised at the repairs above the wheelwell, PO had used the old sheet metal screw and...

The rear bumper will be almost flush, it's just hanging there in the pic. Sectioned out the center, flushed the mounting bolts. Hoping to have it running late Feb, just need to decide on final paint scheme. Wiring will be all on me to save $$ so tha may slow things down based on getting time...

Well, it's been a while since I posted on this so…. Picked paint out, 2012/2013 Deep Cherry Metallic, got to see it today on a test panel for another customers truck repaint, glad I like it, damn paint is freaking expensive! Fenders, doors and trunk lid are all nice and straight now (gotta...

AAAGGHH!!! That's good lookin. I so wish mine was done. And the more I look at the hood the more I like it. Nice Job! Now get it on a track and let er rip!

Soooo...with the addition of the cage (tied to the front frame rails, rear frame rails), subframe connectors, new tubular core support and a new trans crossmember for the T56... Haven't fabbed up a replacement over-the-top of the transmission brace yet. Right now the replacement tunnel is a...
