More interior fitment.





Brake push rod alignment. Not bad!



Old school racing bumper!



Powdercoating and zinc makes 35 year old parts look new



Another look at the e-brake bracket



No guys, not yet!

Starting to fit drive train and chassis.









The stock trans cross member is shown here, but we needed to drop the transfer case. So a new custom member will be fabricated.



The business end of the Dana 60!

All this is thanks to Steve Owens at Tarheel 4WD Center in Charlotte!

Well with a 442ci monster not sure the 3" collectors will let it breath on the 1-3/4" Hooker Super Comp fenderwell headers. So, let's put on some Schoenfeld 3-1/2" collectors with 3/8" flanges.



New AGR variable ratio steering box install on a M.O.R.E bracket and then moved forward 1" for tie rod clearance.



Nearly complete cross member, but more to come.



Tranny cooler mounted to not add more heat back in to the motor.

I will be up your way next week. My wife is from Indy and her cousin is getting married. I guess she didn't realize it is Memorial Day weekend and there's a little race going on there. But since we are in town the 500 will be on the playlist for Sunday.
