Hey Zack, I did some checking, and you were right, all you need is a 3 speed shifter, not a 4. Looks like I will have to get a new one, that sucks, because I had machined up a nice billet handle and had it black anodized. Oh well, guess I'll just put it back on Ebay.

 

[5.7 hemi]

Tin that sucks that you spent all that time making a handle and wont use it.

Heres a few pics...enjoy!

This is where I'm at now. Tomorrow the wiring goes in.

 

[rapidtransitric]

well thats what we've been waiting for. sorry for busting your b**l bag

Hey Zack, what are you using for a fan controller?

 

[5.7 hemi]

Not using a controller. Just the dual relay setup and the sender in the radiator, on at 200 off at 190.

 

[rapidtransitric]

hmmmm... are you taking another break?

 

[5.7 hemi]

Not even close rapid. The wiring has me all discombobulated, ha. I did manage to get the dash installed today, tidied up some wiring that I did, and general clean up of the work bench. Maybe tomorrow I can hit it again.

 

[rapidtransitric]

just trying to keep you on your toes. wiring can be consuming

Well 5.7, I've watched this post for a few months now, and I must add my voice to the growing crescendo of praise for your project. It truly is first class, and you're making all of us jealous.

You need to make MATS for 2012 so I can see it!

Got some wiring done today, but I had to stop and go help my dad pull the k frame out of his 70 challenger rt that he is currently restoring. Them torsion bars were a pain, but they finally gave into the "bfh", lol!! The drivers side went real easy, probably due to seeing the bfh coming...lol!

Thanks for kind words Bryan. It's coming down to the home strecth, which is making me crazy with dreams of smashing the go pedal. I've been kicking the idea of MATS around, might be able do it next year....lets see what the better half thinks.

Fantastic progress!

 

[rapidtransitric]

[Joe Mopar]

Thanks Rapid.

Now my eyes are hurting. Think I also loss my appetite.

 

[rapidtransitric]

[5.7 hemi]

I think I will need surgery to take out so I will NEVER have to see something like that again!!!!!!

 

[69clone]

Ew that reminds me of the chick from shallow hallow lol
Btw the progress is looking good.
