Gdemon if you dont mind me asking what did they charge you? and round cuda tail lights will be recessed back into the tail panel. Two of the 4 tail lights hopefully will be here this week so hops are to get them in this weekend.

thanks for looking i will post pics of the lights as soon as i get them in

yeah i used duraglass on the other quarter pannel but i think im going to wire wheel it off and use the allmetal instead just because i hear its more durable...?

tin what do you plan to do when u paint your car to blend in you jams and engine compartment?

i was thinking of painting it all at once but it would be much easier to paint the engine compartment and jams then do the rest of the car.

did you use sealer?

You have to back tape all the jambs ( roll back the tape so you get a soft edge ). It is very difficult to paint it all at once, you can paint it all assembled, but you have to tape off the outside and paint the jambs, then vice versa.

mock up using photocopied tail lights

filler panels welded in

cut out the light holes and moved a support brace over to clear the new lights

 

[sag]

had my brother hold them in place to eye them up to see if i liked the idea

i found that a piece of heavy duty 6" flue pipe was my best available bet for the tail light buckets..........free is always good:cheers:

welded in and ground smooth

as of now i want to weld it in on the back to avoid pin holes. then on to the other 3 and then i see some allmetal in the future.

Ive got my complete 2006 hemi truck engine from a yard and they gave me the PCM. I only got three conectors for the PCM though. I got the Orange, green and black.

Im working on wiring in the white one that i robed off a 2005 harness and also the OBDII conector. I have most the schematic info i need off of "All Data Pro".

My only issue is the "CAN C Bus -" and the "Can C Bus +". Im triing to wire them into my OBDII conector. I am not sure if there needs to be a seperate module conectd to these or if i can simply run them directly from the PCM to my OBDII conector?????

any help??

When I wired up my 05 I just ran the CAN Bus wires directly from the PCM to the connector. The only module I am using is the PCM.

Ok thanks. Im gonna work on the wiring some this weekend

Well I decided ta start taring down my 4-speed. everything looks ready good inside. Can anyone decode this for me. I was told its a a-body. But its good to know for sure.
the stamping on the
case reads 2b161801. PP8333700 0 12
Casting C99129 H

Tail casting- C132123

Cover casting-C99386

Its a 23 spline. I wanna make sure its a true four speed and not a OD trans.

Also I have an aluminum bell. Are the aluminum bells weak or will it hold up good?
Thanks

Starting to mess with my rear triangulated four link.... Dose anyone have any good info on angles? lenths? ect. I have done some measuring and i plan to build my own. I got the tubing already. just looking for some input. I did some eyball mach. up and it looks like the top bars are goin to the frame rails, and will be aprox 12" long....is this to short? my lowers will be longer closer to 36" will the big difference be a issue with keeping the pinion angle corect durring normal travel?

thanks

how did the wiring go?

 

[sag]

I got most of the wiring "test wired" using electrical tape till i make sure all is good then i will solder it in. I still need to do somthing for a fuse box. I have one out of a cavalier i may use since it has spots for relays that i would need for the fans fuel pump ect.. I realy am just waiting to get the flywheel and starter so i can set it up and do a test run on the floor. and hopfully not let any smoke out of the wires...


This project has been on the back burner for a bit since i got a 1990 ram cummins that i decided to repaint. now that thats all done im hoping to get this thing rolling again.
