I thought the wheelie bars went in the back?



Lookin good!

A small update. Things have not gone as planned and progress has been minimal. Good news is that that my Daughter is doing really well and got orders to end all pump feedings last week. She is sustaining her wait on what she is eating/drinking. This has been a long time coming. If she continues doing well for the next 6 mos. they will remove her feeding tube and hopefully all her health problems will be history. Now the bad news, my knee started giving me trouble and I have been to several Dr.s and will have to have knee surgery. Needless to say I haven't felt like doing too much...but I have got a little done. I installed the front side marker lights.

I also installed the front and rear window trim clips.

I started working on getting the steering gear rebuilt and while I was attempting to remove the pitman arm, I accidentally broke off the PS Fluid return line nipple fitting. After looking at the rebuilt units, I realized that they don't come with them. I called JDMOPAR and told him of my woes and he was nice enough to raid his stash and sent one of his spare fittings to me. I then had to wait for the gear to be rebuilt. It came back and I got it installed on the k-frame. While waiting on that stuff. I got the brake lines run, prop valve installed and began running all the engine bay wiring.

Looking great Joe! Its gonna grab a lot of attention when its done

Finally! Next brackets, and accessories get bolted on.

I will Alan. There are several things I need to add or change on the engine itself and then I will put on the manifolds, and suspension stuff as you suggested. For example, I'm going to replace the thermostat housing with a stock one and install the thermostat. I also am replacing the distributor with a stock unit. I have a new MP 6 Pack Installation kit to put on it...etc.

You are doing some really nice work. Looking forward to more updates...........

awesome work!!!!!!!

Looks great! I hope that you and your daughter are doing well.

Good to hear. Its so hard to think about a child going through health issues. Keep that knee moving!! I had my ACL done 8 years ago and mobility is key.

Though I have not posted much, I have been working on the car. Been doing quite a bit on the Drivetrain sub assembly and in the process realized some things were not correct or parts I thought I had were either in bad shape or needed replacing. I have made a lot of progress on getting the engine ready to install and will post some photos and more info. on that later.

As I waited/wait for parts, I have tried to move on to other areas to keep things moving along. I installed the sailboards and grips for the headliner as well as the headliner bow "holders" and Seatbelt brackets.

While doing some of this work, I noticed a spot on the passenger door where a paint problem was developing. The guy who painted the car came and looked at it this past weekend and agreed that it needed to be fixed. We carefully removed the door and he is working it into his schedule. I'm bummed that it happened but I'm glad he is the stand up kind of guy and is taking care of it.

Moparts Member FINOKE helped me out pretty huge again and I'm beginning to think 1/2 the car parts might be his. I'll have pics and more on that this weekend.

That brings me to what I have been doing over the last few weeks and that is POLISHING. I should say POLISHING, and POLISHING and POLISHING.... I'm about 1/2 way done so you know what I'll be doing next week too. Here's a pic of one of the rear window trim pieces. I'll post another update this weekend.
