worked on my 1982 J-10 the moss covered wonder today.
pulled and replace the engine in 4 hours today to fix a flex plate issue.
truck hasn't run in 17 years hope to fix that soon.

That's a cool project. If you want to lift your rig, I recommend Skyjacker. My brother bought this lift kit from 4wheelonline for his '81 J10. Skyjacker is on the pricey side but it's a full 4" and rides nice.

Extremely cool....I used to have a modified, forest arched Mk2 version with an old 3 litre V6 Capri engine in....I was only young and that taught me everything I know about rear wheel steering!!! Still would love a Mk1 though....big money now though!!!

Friend had a 1970 SJ.  Nice car, fast too.  Another with a 454 Monte Carlo. 

Had a 1975 Cutlass Supreme, great car.

I like the 70 midsize GM cars too.

My non Mopar projects are-

59 Cadillac.  Pulled out of a garage of the original owner who put it there in 78 (bought from son of original owner). Restored driveline, left everything else old and worn.

95 F355.  Focusing on weight reduction.  Parts removal and carbon parts brought it from 3,199lbs to 2,987 so far.

Very nice! That was almost my first car but I couldn't swing the $$$ so ended up with a 4 door Nova instead  :lol:

That's because I spared you the encyclopedia of pictures for the last 2 years on those 3 alone.  Haha.

The black car currently has no engine or transmission in it. 
I am also going to convert it to a Holley Terminator X computer system and switch it over to E85.
Well that is after I get the freshened engine back into it and a new transmission sourced for it (thinking Powerglide this time around).

The blue car just got the engine and transmission put back into it about 2 months ago.
I've not had a chance to take it to the track and see if I can row the manual to a 9 second pass.

And the red car I sort of completed last summer but have yet to take it back to the track to try out the new mods which include the upgraded differential I broke at the last track outing.

Plus since getting my 68 Charger, I have some plans in mind that I want to add to it this year.

Anyone that owns a hot rod (or a couple) knows they are projects that are never done.  On top of that, I decided to build a garage this year so I can actually work on my cars and have a lift.  So look for a picture of that soon.

So to keep this forum light based on my junk, I kept it to a minimum.
