First Great Dale Trip

Well it has been quite the journey and I’ll post more details after the small claim court case is settled. I chose the wrong mechanic and had to find a Mopar specialist to fix the mistakes. We’re almost ready for prime time after:

  • Replacing the Rear axles
  • Replacing the rear brake pads
  • Replacing the rear differential (Twice)
  • Reconditioning the drive shaft
  • Rebuilding the transmission (Twice)
  • Replacing the complete fuel system from tank to carb
  • Replacing the radiator (3 times) and tweaking the fan system many, many times
  • Rebuilding the heads
  • Replacing the intake manifold
  • Replacing the carburetor
  • Replacing the air filter
  • Replacing the exhaust
  • Replacing all of the gauges and adding some new ones
  • Replacing the transmission cooler
  • Adding a deeper transmission pan
  • Replacing the front brakes with disc brakes
  • Replacing all front suspension bushings
  • Adding a massive sway bar on the front
  • Replacing the front windshields and rear window
  • Replacing the windshield wipers
  • New ignition system from distributor to plugs
  • New gas filler cover
  • Added Cruise control

We made it Canon City with no problems and here are some pics on a relatively level plot with no liquor store in the background.
