hey guys, been a looong time, too much to type. The car is basically done minus the windshield trim. We had transmission problems with the original tci that came with it so we bought a really nice one from a shop in westpalm. Took it out for a test drive, drove it for a couple days then one...

Wassup guys, We pull into the drive way when we got back to my Dad's house and we open the garage and i see my aunt and 2 cousins staring back at me with a camera, Then i start noticing things like the rear glass trim, and then the interior... I still cant believe it but my dad got her up and...

hey guys, well to sum it all up i lost focus and my grades started to slip and i was plowing down a dirt road. My Dad put a halt on the dart and i moved to my moms house on the other coast of Florida to straighten out. I got my grades to all A's and some B's and graduated a couple days ago...

We made some more progress this weekend. We got roughly about half the car buffed and the front end assembled. Now we must wait for the guy to finish buffing it and we can start throwing things on it. Next we will be installing glass and throwing the dash in. On the mechanial side we are still...

Tonight we got the 727 bolted up. Today was no school so i spent most of the day restoring the hood latches and some odd parts and my Dad came home and in went the hemi orange trans. It took a while but its in there, I cant wait to turn it over but we still got a little ways to go. Ill keep you...

Thanks challenger 1970, we made a little more progress today. Restored the wiper motor and got it installed along with the heater core and thats pretty much it due thats its Sunday and monday means school. Ill keep you guys updated on our next thing to do on the list. Mopar 4 Life.

Thanks for the comments guys, The day has come and we finally dropped the 360 in. After a little torsion bar adjustment we got its stance semi dialed in and its looking sinister. The mototr looks even better inside the car and i cant wait to assemble the front end especially because i love the...

Wassup guys, havent updated in a while. We had a setback with the steering column so we havent done much really except the small reassembly stuff. We reassembled the dash and completed the motor for installation as soon as the steering column is installed. We just got back from Big Daddys today...

Hey AdamR, I have a correction on the specs of the rims. The BS is 4 inch not 4 and a half also my Dad says the same tire with the 4 1/2 inch BS would be perfect. We tried to get them but that BS isnt available with our style of rims. Take care.

I measured it and it looks to be roughly 1 1/2 inch. Personally i dont know if it would clear but i think the problem was finding the rims we wanted with a 5 inch backspace or a 4.75 inch backspace, i forgot. on second thought I would say it would clear because the gap between the tire and...

Hey AdamR, Specs: 255-60-r15 (15 x7 4.5 BS ) Dont quote me on this but I think they are just about the biggest tire you can squeeze in thier with stock spring location and wheel wells ( I heard people say they have 15 x 8's). All you need to do is trim the lip a liitle and you cant tell unless...

Thanks for the input guys. Our next course of action thanks to you guys is to ream out the mounting holes and see if it will adjust to our desired height. Next on our list is to get the front rims mounted on the tires, get the steering column painted and installed along with the dash so we can...

We made some more progress on assembly. We got the rear bumper installed, rear tires and rims mounted and we are still waiting on the front tires. The rearend was cleaned up due to overspray from the body shop. Rebel Dart, it is starting to look like we arent going to make big dadys also but we...

The assembly begins tonight. We just got the rear bumper ready for mounting. We polished the stainless steel carraige bolts to give them a chrome finish and got the bumper mounts bolted. We were going to mount it on the car but the underside of the rear valance is just sealer so we have to get...

Thanks guys. The color is the original version fj5 sublime green. We are going to put a set of jeg 5 star rims on it, no vinyl top, and just a flat black bumble bee stripe (Same as below except rims are different) We are probably going to start the assembly process tonight. I will keep you guys...

Thanks Adam, it is FJ5 sublime. In time, we will do a little wet sanding/buffing and really bring out the depth and shine. We will keep posting, thanks again.
