Things have been slow and money has been tight as I'm going to school for my 3dr year Automotive Service Technician in January. Will have more progress to post once I get back in March.

Hi,

Sorry to barge in on the conversation, but the caliper brackets to allow the use of the larger (11.75") rotors with the standard hub/spindle assembly are now being reproduced. They are available here:

More expensive than a junkyard find, but at least the pricing is not outrageous.

You've gotten a lot done since I last looked in on this.

First weekend back in the garage and other then a huge amount of cleaning and reorganizing things I managed to get something remotely stock car related done.

I made a mounting fixture for the 904 transmission. Makes working on and rebuilding them a lot easier then it rolling around on the bench.

Took 9' of 1" x 1" x 1/8" wall tubing, some double nuts, grade 8 bolts and a scrap piece of 1/4" plate. Total cost? Less then $20.

That is a great idea!
Nice Work all around!

More progress this weekend!!!

Had to do some modifications to the brake pedal to accommodate the manual brake pushrod.

So I just used the end of a big block manifold bolt as a sleeve to pass a grade 8 bolt through.

Master cylinder is bled and installed and all I need to do is bleed the brakes and leak check everything.

Factory Dodge D-200 trans cooler installed.

Rear shocks installed and I re-routed the differential vent as having it on the right hand axle tube causes leaks during the hard turns.

I just chopped off the factory tube and used some red lock-tite and hammered it back into the case and routed a hose into the trunk.

Got about 90% of the wiring done this weekend and got my engine bits ready to go to the machine shop on Monday morning.

All that's left for wiring is the main battery cable and the grounds.

 

[Jack Meoff]

Very nice.
Ah....nothing like a clean engine bay.

 

[Diplomat_Wagon]

I prefer things neat and tidy.

You thawing out yet?

 

[Diplomat_Wagon]

You thawing out yet?

The snow was almost gone until today. It snowed another 4".


Finished the wiring completely today!

Welded a bolt to the roll cage base to give me a ground point and I welded another one to the frame rail under the hood.

Main battery cable mounted and hooked up!

Dashboard installed and hooked up!

Tail lights mounted, wired and every circuit tested hot and everything is working 100%.

 

[Diplomat_Wagon]

Transmission is is re-sealed and reprogrammed with a Trans-Go TF2 kit and a Mopar Performance Deep pan kit. Ready for install and fluid.

 

[Jack Meoff]

Never actually watched a build like this.
Beautiful work....I'll be staying tuned to this channel.
It's amazing watching it come together.
