Well, the suckage of the manifold polishing job looks like it might be a moot point now. I found a 2" crack in the pass side manifold coming from the center double port and going right up the middle over the top. I looked inside and sure enough, it's all the way through to the inside of the...

I'm a fan of the Yamabond sealant, which is basically the same as the grey RTV stuff. Black works about as well though. Total hack job by whichever PO decided that using RTV (of any color) on old gaskets was a good idea. Those loose bolts though... :wtf: I just got back in from fixing that...

Me too, but... And another part done as well. The driver side motor mount bracket has a relief cut in it for a taller HV oil pump, but it was still hitting the pump's relief valve area. That interference could have been enough to prevent the oil pump from seating fully against the block and...

More pics. Yay. Much easier to go straight out the front rather that trying to go over the top of the whole front end. Looks like someone tried turning the flywheel into one of those George Foreman grills. More greasy clutch fibers. This pic was after a quick wire brush and shop towel...

NOM NOM NOM...:nomnom: Only broke a couple bolts getting this stuff out. Notice anything strange about this clutch? The trans side is missing a few big patches of the fiber material. These were just some of the chunks I found stuck between the flywheel and the engine block. More painted...

His JY is so small, most people don't realize there's one there. It's just one guy's hobby more than anything. No signs up either, so you either have to know it's there or hear about it by word of mouth. BTW, in case that link to the winter storm warning I put in that last post...

I've been neglecting to take pics of my progress lately, so here's a few pics to get me caught up. Alternator, brackets and bolts: Intake, carb, throttle linkage brackets and valley pan hold downs: This pic shows the new 1/2" phenolic carb spacer... ...which replaces all of this stuff...

The big bracket to the right in this pic is the one I trimmed the AT kick down pivot off of. This Weiand intake (part #8009) is an aluminum, dual plane, square bore setup. Is this the one you were talking about 69.5? I'm not all there...:shifty: A few notes about that last pic. The Holley...

Took another stab at getting a better look at the trans and T-case, and this time I brought a camera with me. The first pic is the rear of the T-case. I used a paint pen to color the letters and numbers I found so they might show up on the pics better. Up top on the first row is a "W", second...

The Ospho had a whitish dust type residue on it, but it otherwise looks like it withstood the rain fine. I swept all the crap away from the front and wiped the dust off before shooting it with Doc's favorite brand of paint (the K-word type). :p Meh, it was some couple year old cans of the...

Pic of the undercoated floor from yesterday: My neighbor George loaned me his gantry hoist today so I could do the flat bed swap. It's nice to see the truck without the extra bed on it, even if it still has the one that's coming off on it. Today was the first day I've been able to see out the...

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'm not 100% set on the utiline box idea at the moment, so it wouldn't take much convincing at this point to get me to stick with the better flat bed. I'd still like to do the club cab swap so I'll have more room for my dogs. 69.5 are you still over in...

Hopefully I'll have better luck getting this project finished than I did with the R/T/A. It's going to be used as a truck should first and foremost. As a result I'm looking at doing less work making it pretty, and putting more effort in the reliability and functionality department. I'm also...

Well, since moving to MT I've found out that all vehicles here must not have the tires sticking out past the fenders or flares. The 97 Jeep Cherokee I have fails in that catagory miserably. It took quite a bit of web searching to find a set of flares that would fit my already cut fenders. As...

I never thought I'd ever say I liked anything related to "Spongebob Gaypants". However, this video has caused me to make a singluar exception to that rule. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue0kCn5YRE0 :fishy::nanatar::fishy:

I've just been wondering what's been happening around the old neighborhood lately. I see someone changed the drapes while I was away. Was that your idea DCF? :confused: I'm finally out of the Navy now (since Dec 09) and going to Gunsmith school full time in Lakewood, CO. I've still got the...

Anyone out there have any idea what a dash for a 72 Challenger (non-A/C) would sell for. Original dash vinyl cracks and light surface rust included. Basically the complete unit, just as it was removed from the car. This does NOT include the gauges, radio, heat and fan controls or the associated...

:doh: :bwuhaha:

I took these pics for DW a while ago and can't remember what thread they were supposed to go into. Anyway, here's a coupla pics of my truck all prettied up. :shifty:
