Copper Top

My plans are to fuel inject the 302, check the trans and transfer case, inspect everything well and replace anything questionable, pound the dents out of the body and replace things that are really bad (crinkled) along with any sub-par work and get it in shape to be a daily driver.

With my seeming ADD fully kicking, I've been jumping around like a rabbit on things to do. The start was remvoing the body lift and taking it down to a 1" body lift. To do that, I just cut the body spacers down with the band saw and bought new grade 8 hardware for the body mounts. Easy enough. To do that though, I had to cut off the exhaust system as it was run between the frame and the body itself (and made a ton of noise as it rubbed the bottom of the tub while driving). The rock skis and the rollcage mounts had to also be cut off of the frame to enable the body to sink down. Not so simple now... Then, I had to modify the shifter linkage and the fan shroud, as the fan hit it now and the shifter linkage was too long and needed to be shortened by the 2" that the body went down. The gas tank needed to be re-adjusted as well. Finally...
