Had this old skid plate from a Jeep laying in the back of the shop. Was able to modify it to fit nicely. Nice piece of 1/4 thick 6061 t6. Dang that stuff is gnarly to bend. At first I stood on it with all of my body weight to put a slight bend on the front leading edge of it. Just bounced up and...

Well that was quite a project. Paul Horton sway bar kit all put together and built. 1-in solid bar about 39 in long. If it ends up being too stiff I can buy all the pieces and build a three quarter inch but he thought this would be the best place to start. It has to be serviceable and one end...

No glove box in this truck so I am doing two boxes for phone, wallet, sunglasses, keys, etc next to each seat. I had the idea very early on to try to mix the Dodge and Chevy logos together somehow. My buddy that cut this all out for me is really good with design and he made my idea better for...

Big beefy sway bar links for the front. $127 for the pair of those. Stupid what stuff cost now. I fought with this for 6 hours today. Tweaked and massaged and now I'm happy with it. Now not worried about it breaking the ears off the lower arms. All this and it may or may not work. Two pictures...

Lol. Beef Tallow and fast food is going to make a difference versus vegetable oil. Heart disease is the number one killer in this country and things will not change until people actually change their diet.

I stared at that hole in the floor for at least a month scratching my head trying to figure out how to seal the steering shaft. All kinds of wonky compound angles there. Finally started looking at Spicer driveshaft boots. Man I got that thing laid way over so hopefully it will hold up. Right now...

Sneak peek of two parts I've been working on for the last 2 Days in between some other stuff. These will get installed tomorrow. Took me a month trying to figure out how to do this project.

Homeless people trying to burn our shop down tonight. I had three guys here luckily and we were about ready to start dragging vehicles out of the shop with my truck being first. In the last month they had stole the backflow prevent her out front which was $3,000 to fix. In the back they have...

I am enjoying this thread.

Can you imagine this being done in todays world? A time of the past long ago.

Very good

I was guessing 3200. 100 lb lighter. Don't think you can get much more balanced than this. Morrison chassis. L83 all aluminum late model direct injected motor. 4l65 four-speed automatic trans. 9 in rear with four link. 400 horsepower. This car drives so good it's ridiculous. Although my knees...

I guessed 2750 and each of the other guys guessed 3000 and 3200. This car is light and that's why it is so fun to drive. Virtually the same weight as the Funco. Look how much weight is on the nose with that all iron mid 50s 241 hemi. Smallest hemi they ever made from Chrysler, DeSoto, or Dodge...

Had a couple guys here in the shop buying some parts and they helped me roll it up the ramps on the scales. I said out loud I'm going to guess 2500.

Give network alignment a cigar. Damn. Add probably 40 to 50 lb for the rear sway bar and the rear skid plate and this thing will be 4,100 lb. Nose of this truck will still be heavier with one or two passengers in it. And if I remove the rear rack ice chest and lawn chairs that is probably 45 lb...

12 gallons of fuel in the tank so a little over half. Couple boxes of dynamat. All of the seat belts and harnesses. Time to warm up the scales. Last chance to guess.
