Definitely let me know when you guys do some cruises, Autox, or whatever. I'm hoping for a few more good days myself. A bad slave cylinder took my clutch out at the Charlotte Goodguys. I'm hoping to get the car back together and make sure everything is good before it's put away for the winter.

Looks fantastic!! Great shots...

Thanks! I can't wait until spring so I can really put it to use.

The paint on this thing is too cool. We're happy to see you got this one sorted out and running so quickly after that unfortunate mishap.

That's a pretty Jeep! I always liked them when they came out. I like it when the remove the grill and use the old style with the small grill too. Very Nice.

Wow, that looks great.
Awesome shots to.

Been a while since I've updated this thing. Several posts coming up.

Before Spring came I decided to finally have the transmission gone through. The syncros were trashed from day 1 so the off season was a good time to fix and upgrade. I picked up a junk Hellcat trans from a friend and had a frankenstein made from the two. The main Hellcat donation was the 5th and 6th gears. The .63 sixth in the Hellcat vs the standard .50 let me go back to a 3.70 rear gear and still cruise nicely on the expressway without lugging. Also threw in the used Hellcat clutch because the stock RT clutch was reaching the end of it's friction material after 56k miles in a Challenger and 11k with boost in the old Cherokee.

Scattershield because I like not chopping my feet off. Heavy ol bugger, added almost 40 lbs to to the truck.
