Well for the ones that wanted to see it this will be my rebuild thread for the truck I have been putting all this work into.
So I got the truck after I sold my 72 dart. The plan was to get a cheap macco paint job and get it professionaly color sanded and buffed. Then do the interior and clean a few things up and just drive it and use it to haul parts for the 67 dart. Well plans changed once I decided that getting rid of the 67 dart was a good financial decision for me due to not having a good motor or tranny. So the 67 went away and the truck was my new focus. Getting ready to send it to paint the transmission blew. The truck had a fresh transmission and a dipstick with no bracket, I checked the fluid when i got it and was fine. Was not told about the missing bracket. So the tranny slowly but surely went to crap by the time i noticed it, it was already gone. The day before it was suposed to go to paint my friend sean and i went and picked up a new bed and some new interior parts. I had put fresh carpet in it a few weeks before and cleaned up the interior and installed my stereo.
Truck sat at my friends for about a week and then i went and picked it up and brought it home. Once home i started to pull the tranny and decided to pull it all and get the engine compartment painted as well and change the whole color of the truck.
Engine and tranny were pulled. Sent the tranny to the shop to get it rebuilt $800 :cheers:. Got the tranny back and work on the motor started. Didnt want to do orange for some reason so lime green it is! Everything is getting cleaned. New timing chain, bearings, and if i can get away with just honning it, it will get new rings. Of course all the gaskets and the proper head gaskets to hold the boost in.
Speaking of boost I picked up the supercharger for $500 off of craigslist:cheers:. Couldnt get a better price. The unit alone isa $900 piece. Thats not including all the brackets and fuel management stuff. So i was very happy about the deal.
One day after work i decided to go around and see if i can get a nicer paintjob in a trade for a yamaha raptor 660. Well just so happens that the nicest shop in town decided that they wanted to trade and now thats where the truck is at. Everything is off of the truck and its getting a very high quality paint job.
I know that i am missing alot of info but i wil add some more later.
