Wow. Keep us posted. Looks like ambition. Is this a DD or weekend-only rig...?

 

this is awesome

 

Pics of the inside of the door? Are they still going to be fully functional (locks)?

 

Locks and handles will be functional. Its a DD in the winter and on weekends. Drive the Lude or civic daily to work. Originally I was going to do it on 1 long weekend. But I decided I should take my time. Engine & t-case should be in by sunday if all goes well.
After the body work im putting the mash 4077 star and # on the doors...
Was going to strip the front suspension tonight, but I caught my daughters cold... Might still do it in a bit.
Oh, and ill be running 33's until next year when I get chromoly D30 shafts. Then it will be like a stock dana 44. Ill run 33's daily, and 35's off road with beadlocks. Im also doing manual hub conversion next summer.

 

This'll be a sick trail rig when you're done.

 

When you're finished we can trade so that way you have a vehicle to still work on Haha, I'm jealous!

 

With work, and the kids, I havent been able to get much done. I was going good today...until I ran out of oxygen.

 

You had rear drum brakes?!? Musta changed them in 03 with the engine among other things.

Good progress tho! Keep it up!

 

I had rear disk. The Chrysler 8 1/4" rear end is drums. Eventually ill do a rear disk conversion.

 

Oh ok. That good then. Corvette brakes or just a conversion kit?
