Murphy's Law. some time back I listed my Jeep Comanche Pickup for sale or trade for a sprinkler system installed at my home. guy showed up, we made a deal and he started the job, worked one day and said he'll be back with the trencher the next day. That was over one month ago. Guess who shows up today? Thats right, the sprinkler dude with help. Great you would think right? Well, here comes Murphy! While I'm getting ready to lift the car and test fit my mods, my power goes out to my shop! WTH? You may have guessed it, that fine piece of machinery, yes the trencher!  Cut the conduit and spooled up the 50amp service wire in the bar!!!  I need a drink!

The Show must go on! Hows that for a quick repair!  Nothing like taking your "I'm going to work on my car" time and throwing it into the garbage!

Thank You Mancini Racing! Your Sub Frame Connectors Fit FANTASTIC! Very little "adjustment" necessary.  I think I will be spending more time scraping off the undercoat than fitting the connectors.

Shifting them inline with the front frame line seems best. I didn't like the offset I read with some frame connectors. I hope all approve. It looks like the natural fit to me anyways.

Mark the underside of the floor and on to the Passengers side fitment.

Idiots.
Up here in the Republic of Illinois there is a service called Julie. You just call them and leave your address and they send out EVERYBODY to mark your property. Gas, Water, Cable, Sewer, Telephone and Electric.

we have thm employed by the state here in Ohio. this summer workers from the DOT were digging trenches for drainage ditches, and they cut thru underground phone lines. Guess ODOT never saw those "call before you dig" commercials...... your Dart looks sweet!

I work for ATT formerly BellSouth and I should have been watching them trench. I told them where the underground service was but failed to put a BIG marker line. The guy that was operating the trencher said "the bossman didn't say anything about wires".
Water under the bridge...........
I did make some progress.
I'm having a Scrape undercoating party! You are ALL invited! I'll supply all the tools and drinks.
