I can't wait either. I am gonna try to get some gauges in it this weekend and finish up some wiring. I got to get some miles on it before Cruisin the Coast. I probably won't beat on it too hard at the track till after that. I have been to cruisin the coast for the last three years wishing I had this truck done.

djracer · 09-17-2012, 12:01 AM

Custom made dash speaker mount with to 5.25 Polk Audio Coax's.

Starting to look like a truck again. I'm gonna try to get a tag and insurance this week. I want to put some miles on it before Cruisin The Coast!

Started on the gauge cluster but I have a really long way to go. All Autometer Pro Comp gauges mounted behind a stock bezel.

Only way you could help much would be a road trip. But thanks for the thought. I am just a little lacking in the spare time department. Cross your finger's I don't have a cam problem.

It's coming along slow but sure. I may have a cam problem and If I do that will probably kill it coming to CTC. Fixin to go out in the shop and get back on it.

Not running that great yet I got a few bugs to get out.

bigboybodry · 10-01-2012, 06:57 PM

I hope there not the same cam problems I was facing killing distributor gears.

bigboybodry · 10-02-2012, 09:03 AM

What master cylinder is that I am needing one?

djracer · 10-02-2012, 07:47 PM

It's a factory Chrysler Master Cylinder. I had one on the drag truck and it went bad. I crossed reference the dorman number on summits website. I already had the Tank and a reman was 20.00 at Oreillys. The complete unit is 28 at Summit. You do have to widen out the mounting holes a little and change your fittings on your lines. Also front line is close to the firewall and rear line is to the front. (learned that the hard way)

djracer · 10-03-2012, 08:25 AM

A Few updated pics.

djracer · 10-04-2012, 07:50 AM

Lowered the front last night and installed the new front shocks. Gonna try to get the gauges in the dash tonight and get an alignment tomorrow. My 3 3/8 water temp gauge is sent off at the moment. The Thermo coupler was bad. I hope it makes it back before Cruisin the Coast.

djracer · 10-04-2012, 08:22 AM

bigboybodry · 10-04-2012, 06:21 PM

djracer · 10-09-2012, 09:04 PM

Headed to the shop for a few finishing touches before we leave for Cruisin the Coast!
