I've been mustering the energy to work on this thing again. Got the new cab on yesterday. Was going to upload some pics, but the free version of tapatalk is no longer and I refuse to pay for it. So at this point, no more pics. Should have the front clip on this week, brake lines run, and start on wiring and swapping the power guts into the doors. Should be doing my header and compound piping, intake and intercooler piping soon. Shortly after that is drive shafts

Looks like an add a leaf in the front. Not stock. But looking good! You should do a white interior so that it'll be red, white, and blue!

It is an add a leaf up front, but for weight. It doesn't add any ride height. I had that spring custom made to not affect ride quality, but support added weight. I will be adding a mini pack up front to make it ride level. With the new rear axle it did add a little height in the rear and I want to remove that rake

Any new progress with this?

swamp_ratt · Oct 22, 2013

Progress? I don't have that much time... I've been working on switching the doors over to power windows and locks, but nothing else. Been working too much and also doing a bunch of repairs to the car to get that ready for my 10 day vacation coming up. Running out of time on that!

Hey where did you get this front motor mount? It looks different than the one in your earlier pics and the one on my motor

I'm not using any stock mounts. And judging by the picture your motor needs to go backwards about 3 inches and to the passenger side some! You will need to clearance the floor on the driver side and the firewall some to do it
