5.3L MJ D44 and Junk.

I hope you get it sorted out but 186 at the wheels is a pleasant daydream for most of us rolling the 4.0

Made a dash today. I beefed up a HF bead roller and made a few custom dies, couldn't wait to try them out so I played with some alloy. Kinda nice to have a dash. Door panels forthcoming.

 

[yossarian19]

Yep, that's awesome.
Gauges?

 

[xj+rcks]

I plan on running a Racepak IQ3 mounted on the column, with a some alloy console shading it.

i need to come check this out soon

 

[xj+rcks]

Made some door panels, well finished the driver's side anyway.

Thinking of using some Dzus fastners to hold them to the door. Opinions?

It jumps.

Friend of mine made an E brake handle grip and a glove box cover for my dash out of black suede. Check out those bullet snaps.

Such good craftsmanship in this build. I really dig it. Keep them pics coming!

 

[yossarian19]

That's badass.
Forgive me if it's already been asked - but I'm seeing lots of parts & equipment in the shop. You work in the custom car industry?

 

[sardo_67]

how did you plumb in the hydro rear brake set up?

 

[MoparManiac]

You going to come out to any of the NAC events this year or what?

I work at a general automotive repair shop, nothing special. I buy equipment as I need it, I want to be able to do custom sheetmetal work eventually.

how did you plumb in the hydro rear brake set up?

I used a Wilwood master, it goes inline in the rear brake line. Pretty simple to plumb in.

Depends on my schedule I guess.

MJ baby jumps

Bit of enjoyment and improvement. Daily driving is great.

looks good paul

 

[sardo_67]

so there is a T fitting in there somewhere with a check valve so you don't push fluid back into the master?

 

[xj+rcks]

Thank you.

so there is a T fitting in there somewhere with a check valve so you don't push fluid back into the master?

Nope, the master pushes fluid to the line behind it not in front of it. The clutch and brake masters don't push fluid out of their reservoirs, so why would one down the line? Think of it as a master with a remote reservoir.

You should sign up for rocktober fest at f&f in October... Its the only close one for us new Englanders.

 

[xj+rcks]

Found a fuel can at an engine show so I powdered it up and made a little hold down. Used a jetski hood strap off eBay.
