you can kinda see where I started over 12 years ago on this ole beasty first vehicle I ever bought an downed outright without assitance from my parents. Many an afternoon rolling her down parking garage ramps at work to get her started when the engine oil would kill the starters lol. She has come along way so far and with any luck end of 2011 will be dragging rice burners down I75 with my 4.56 geared rear end.
in these you can see where I am working on adapting the 2008 dodge 3500 disk brake plates to the axle will have more pictures up in the next few weeks when I get hold of the machinist again and we get the delrin plastic pieces for mock up ready. once those are in place will be getting the exact depth and thickness set to make adapters out of 7071 aluminum which he says will be more than plenty for keeping the brakes in place
