I took my truck to its first car show and took 2nd place in my class

 

Sct hemifever custom tune stage 1

 

bout a week late, but got a new windshield! after 4 years of getting dripped on from above my mirror >.< Bad news is that the guys that did it (who only charged $245) couldn't warrante it since the leak rotted the lip a bit. This shop has my gratitude though, they sanded it off, primered it, and shot some epoxy(i think?) into it to help it seal right for no extra cost, other shops would have charged an arm and leg for that added work. let alone i couldn't beat that price with anyone in the area, 2nd lowest quote for price was $380..before tax..

 

started to get rid of the old brake lines and run new lines. Measured for shocks on the front (d44 front axle) and measured for driveshafts.

 

Using a wire brush to take paint off and then redoing the black paint on the sides. Taking my time painting this time last paint job I did was way to rushed

 

started mine up and let her run for a few minutes. i had to park it due to a cracked frame rail so i decided to trade off my foreign parts car for a frame and some other misc parts

 

Added oil. Then played around on the hills in the back yard.

 

After work I tuned up my '92. 131004 miles.It ran good, but it started cutting out slightly sometimes. The plugs were worn and had a .050 gap, the cap and rotor looked like a chia pet on the terminals, and the fuel filter had a nice black liquid silt coming out!

Oil change after work tomorrow.

P.S., Not my fault, I bought it a couple of monthes ago..

 

Oh yeah, now the power comes out! The tune up made a crazy difference. Kinda hard to drive nice now.

Moparnut, congrats on your well deserved trophy!

 

Thanks Vince 91, glad you got your dakota running better and yea I know what you mean when you say its kinda hard to drive nice as that is why I only bring mine out on the weekends as I know if I drive it more I would probably get pulled over as mine sounds mean with the dual exhaust and the headlight and tail light covers and also how easy it is to smoke the tires everytime I take off
