.......cough cough.......

I gave up on getting it :laugh:

Started the front tube work this past weekend. Didn't get too much done since I had to visit my sister in NH on Saturday and help a friend on Sunday with his ZJ.

Basically copying Chris's (vetteboy) front end. Here's a shitty picture.

and having to wait a month for pics and vids, maybee we will even see him wheel this year

 

[MoparManiac]

Upgraded the wires with the help of Dundy. Hopefully no more cooking them on the headers but we'll see.

More tubework.

Then busted my bender. I started bending a tube with the 7/8" pin that goes through the shoe only through one upright. I was multi-tasking and forgot about it. I realized it after a few pumps of the ram but it was clearly too late. I didn't think anything of it until about 5-6 tubes later and the pin broke. The inner hole had mushroomed out. I'll just cut a plate out of 1/4" and drill the holes then weld it on over that shit.

way to go! this is why we cant have nice things!

 

[MoparManiac]

I break nice things every other weekend.

:thumbup:

[XJLI]

I did that to my bender. Never fixed it, it still bends tube lol

Not fitting any corner lenses. There will be tube connecting the upper to the lower 1/8" plate with the lower tube hits it.

I'll have headlights and the clear marker lights under them.

:laugh: I wouldn't feel too comfortable with just the three holes.

Shouldn't be too hard to fix anyway.

looks cool. is that header panel going to be in there for life? I love forest green pearlcoat metallic.

 

[MoparManiac]

Nope, I can get it in and out.

I'm actually going to throw the original one back on that you gave me. The one with the 10 slot grill.

So I have an electrical noise issue coming from the low impedence TBI injectors I'm running that's messing with my wideband O2 power feed. I have to solder in a capacitor on the board

In the meantime my uncle came over to pound some beer and check the lash on the 440 since I had to do valve cover gaskets anyway.

Fixed my bender.

Had to weld a new flange on the crossover downpipe. It warped when I ****ed up tightening it down.

And since my bumpstops are getting railed, the diff contacted said downpipe and cracked both headers.

And finally bent some more tube today.

Shaker would be stupid tall and I'm not that big on them.

No big deal, thanks for the offer dude :thumbup:
