Well it has been quite the journey and I’ll post more details after the small claim court case is settled. I chose the wrong mechanic and had to find a Mopar specialist to fix the mistakes. We’re almost ready for prime time after:
- Replacing the Rear axles
- Replacing the rear brake pads
- Replacing the rear differential (Twice)
- Reconditioning the drive shaft
- Rebuilding the transmission (Twice)
- Replacing the complete fuel system from tank to carb
- Replacing the radiator (3 times) and tweaking the fan system many, many times
- Rebuilding the heads
- Replacing the intake manifold
- Replacing the carburetor
- Replacing the air filter
- Replacing the exhaust
- Replacing all of the gauges and adding some new ones
- Replacing the transmission cooler
- Adding a deeper transmission pan
- Replacing the front brakes with disc brakes
- Replacing all front suspension bushings
- Adding a massive sway bar on the front
- Replacing the front windshields and rear window
- Replacing the windshield wipers
- New ignition system from distributor to plugs
- New gas filler cover
- Added Cruise control
We made it Canon City with no problems and here are some pics on a relatively level plot with no liquor store in the background.
