That's when it was going on the Truck. Best guess - FedEx forklift operator got aggressive!

Bought the Melling Upgraded Oil Pump to be on the Safe Side

[BMR Sales]

Well, the work has begun!

Before we start installing things, we are doing a re-design on our Front A-Arms for the 2nd Gen to add more Caster!


You can see that we have a Spare Subframe in the foreground to mock-up the Arms as well as my car

I moved it to my best friends shop in Sarasota this morning so we can do the Electronics, Exhaust ext

It all looks great under there, Nice work.

Subframe Connectors are in - trying to work the exhaust out

[Zoomin]

I really like that you guys are involved in doing work other than exhaust - that way you can see if a change will make another aspect easier.

[BMR Sales]

The Mufflers I wanted were on back-order ( happens to all companies) and I will finally have them Thursday!

[BMR Sales]

Thanks Buddy!

With the Shop in Sarasota (an Hour away), it hinders getting some work getting done. Then over Thanksgiving weekend, I broke my Left Hand. Then 10 days later, my friend cut 2 fingers off his left hand!:lolhit: Then he moved to a bigger shop, which at this point is in disarray.

But The SubFrame Connectors are in

This car had been hit a long time ago on the drivers side at the back of the door. The Door & Quarter were replaced but didn't line up well and the door didn't close & latch correctly. So I tore into it, broke open some welds, and removed a patch that was in place. Lined everything up nicely, straightened things out, put a new patch piece in and now everything is good.Door opens & closes like butter!

[BMR Sales]

Instead of Progress, I tore out all the Interior.

I've a New Dash Pad, Dakota Digital Guages, a New Steering Column, Pedals, so it made sense (to me) to just gut it and start completely fresh. I'm making a Custom Rear Seat/package shelf as well.

The Floor Pans are really nice!

Got it in and installed! the Brushed Finish is Beautiful ( sorry about the bad picture) It fits together great. The only issue is with the Power Steering Reservoir as it hits the Power Steering Box - probably going to have to run it from a remote location.
