Anyone wondering, this **** is still not done, although I'm working on the tranny right now. got a Martin Staine Valve body, built tranny, and a 3500 stall getting ready to be bolted up.

She is coming along, but slowly... *sigh*

Here are some photos from today. Took her out to get fueled up, and went to Home Depot to get some ****.

Got my first "jesus that truck sounds good" at the gas station. He walked all around it and said it looked good. Felt good.

Update

So the torque converter came in yesterday. Got home from work popped the bitch in the tranny and mounted the tranny up, along with Richard's tubular tranny crossmember.

Most of the hard **** is done, just need to bolt the dust shield, starter, and driveshaft backup, and she will be done.

O yeah, and the driveshaft loop, I also got around to installing the Jeep fan with Rob's custom brackets..

here are some photos.

Well took her for a spin today. I got video of her runnning open headers, got to take off the old headers today and put on the new exhaust setup.

She runs fine, shifts like a king, and runs great. Can't wait to get the new exhaust and and take her for a cruise this weekend for the PDC meet.

Got my exhaust back today from the coating shop. Turned out amazing, 3rd time I used this guy and not once has he ****ed anything up, and the quality it great. Although it took about 1 month to get done.




she is no longer on jackstands right now, so enjoy this picture. lol. She will be going back up in the air tonight to install the new exhaust setup, and then she will be down for good, I hope.




yeah, she is wet... she is a dirty horny bitch.

Well I got a bunch of **** taken care of.

1. Got the headers installed, it was a pain in the *** compared to my other set.
2. Got the downpipes and rest of exhaust installed
3. Replaced the starter (snapped mine in half)
4. Got the 17x11 R/T rims mounted with 390-40-17 M&H DRs

New exhaust sounds good, it's not as loud as my old setup, but I like it. Just a deep rumble, I'll get a sound clip one day.

Here are some photos of everything and the first car show she was at since being done!









Pardon the dirty bay, I cleaned her up before the car show.
