6/7/20:
Thanks for the encouraging Words Guys. There's much more on the to do list but it's fun to be able to see measurable progress..
Next on the List.
- Finish the Floor / Get a presentable Shifter Boot, Cut a Hole in the carpet.
- Change the Rear Gear Chunk to the 3.91 Trutrac Unit - While I have the Axles out and the Drum Brakes mostly removed It would be a fine time to put the Rear Disc Setup on.
- Install 13" Front Baer Brakes.
- Relocate Battery to Trunk
- Prep and Install lighweight Hood
- I am sure there's more but I cant think of it all right now.
Pics from some of the work that was done:
I finalized the clutch Linkage setup... This involved making sure the Z bar Mount placed the Z bar in the correct plane.. So I had to reclock the Ball stud that mounts onto the Bell housing to accomplish this.
Here is a shot of the Additional material I added to get the Ball stud studly and sturdy.
Here is the The New Driveshaft. Uses a 28 Spline 1310 Slip yoke and 1310 x 1310 U Joint up front and a 1310 x 7260 (small Mopar 2 1/8") Yoke Flange on the rear Axle.
Recycled Bits of Upper X Member Going In a Bit Higher now...
Had Some 1/8" Plate lying around that i cut up to fill the ~2.5" Space.
I have some more pattern Making to do to fill in the gaps.
The Cell Buckle on the steering wheel functions as my speedometer for now. I put the phone in there with the Speedometer app, until I can get something more real worked out.
Till Next Time,
Greg
