Very impressive.

Very impressive.

After watching a few of your threads, that means a lot, thank you...

Yeah. I just checked my valves. What a pain.

I was looking back a few pages and noticed something that didn't register with me before. Why did you mess with the mounts on the frame? Did you move the motor forward?

I moved everything back 8". I used the firewall to determine where the engine landed. I can just fit a finger between the return fitting on the back of the head and the firewall.

Ok, got a little more done, and a big step forward today. Mounted cruise control module under the fender, lengthened the trigger wires and mounted the intake heater solonoids. I then found out that the clutch wasn't giving enough throw to engage, so I raised the peddles up 1" and bumped the starter and it turned over. :evil:
Playing with the door harness making sure that was not my problem, I hit the key fob and the locks moved. That means I get keyless entry... 8-)

IT RUNS, IT RUNS...
Started with an oil change, fuel into tank, bled lines and got it running. I then used the dodge plastic inner fenders to keep the engine somewhat clean, mounted fenders, valance, grill and hood. I was alone today, so no video yet, but a couple new pics. I need to find a pair of M715 hold downs.

Got to spend another day buttoning up the details. Brakes are bled, great pedal. Coolant lines attached, filled with coolant, no puddles. Moved inside and started moving wires around and got them tucked up out of the way. Mounted drivers seat. Moved underneath and looked into the t-case shifter. Mounted drive shaft. Pic is deceiving, there's about an inch between the tank and shaft.
I did find hood latches on eBay, in black, for $21. They are on the way.

Doors on...

Awesome

Got more done, bed off old frame and set on new. I took pics before I settled it into place, but it's squared up and ready to bolt. It squatted about 6" when I set the bed on...

That's fantastic. A bit less lift in the front and it would be perfect

Ive got my cousin looking for a set of 4" lowering coils for the front.
Damn, I can't seem to focus on anything else...

RESPECT!

It should ride better with the control arms closer to horizontal. I hope it doesn't affect negatively other aspects of the front axle alignment, such as caster.

Good thought, I'll keep an eye on it when I get them.

Got the hold downs on, and started wiring front lights.
