70barracuda

Added some new bling valve covers. They were on clearance and I couldn't resist.

I have a 97 engine in my 2000. I did the viper coil set up as my coil was shot anyway. Theres a guy that makes a bracket and wire harness adapter and it works pretty good and looks clean.

They are a kit for a newer mustang. I think 2010 and up I want to say. I got them on clearance and figured I could make them work. They actually were too long and I had to mount them way lower than I had planned.

Never really felt confident in the stock hood latches so installed some hood pins. With the bumpers it sits perfect.

How did you mount the new fuel pump? Stock sender? I got a wahlboro 255 but haven't figured out a way to mount it yet.

So my buddy brought up a very good point for the bench. I am pretty short and sit extremely close to be able to reach the pedals. Pretty much everyone that ever rides with me is gonna be squished against the dash. So I'm sticking with the buckets. I think I am going to paint them with the sem color. I've had excellent results redoing the arm rests so I figure why not.

Even with the bench I would only ever have 1 other person with me. Seeing the pictures of the bench make me want it lol even though I built this to be a sort of race jeep I just love a grandpa fresh interior on an old truck

I do like having the center console. I wish I could find a nice set of buckets in the almond color. I think what I'm really after is just something to match. I'm not a huge fan of the black seats in my tan interior

I love these buckets and the look. I just think a bench with the same pattern would be killer. But that's 2 bench and 1 bucket.

Someone talk me out of wanting a bench seat. I have custom "racing" buckets currently and I love them, but I've always wanted a bench seat just to give it the old school truck vibe. Ideally I would get it refinished to match the tan and plaid interior in have. Thoughts??

Looking for a bench seat. Need the color from the 86 only, I believe it's called almond. Would like good shape. Would consider any color as well. In NJ willing to travel around tri state. Would also consider the almond color buckets. Thanks!

Yeah if it was metal I think it would be easier. Being plastic it's going to be tougher give it the fake patina.

So I have the new bumper from OGR ordered and would like to try and match the patina on the jeep best I can. I was thinking of painting it black, painting it with the Colorado red and then rubbing through in some parts to give it the worn look. No clear so hopefully it'll sun fade pretty quickly, then I'll clear over it. Any better ideas?

alright, street comanche copy-cat here I come!

Awesome. I am Definitely interested in the front bumper with the ducts and splitter but would like to wait for the pictures first.

Gotchya. Thanks for the reply. What's the time line for the extras? I saw the other stuff says q2 of 2023.

You guys have any pictures of the brake cooling and splitter that goes with the front bumper?

Oh I'm definitely going to be getting a front bumper for sure. This is so cool.

Charity car show. They had a bunch of sponsors for trophies and I guess someone like the Comanche.

Been a while since I've posted. Just kinda fell out of updating. Last I left off I was installing the new caltracs and wilwood brakes. Truck has 0 wheel hop and stops ridiculously well now. Also installed a BTR cam, got the heads redone, and tidied up the entire bay some more. This truck rips now and sounds absolutely amazing. I spent the whole summer learning to tune myself and even though it took A LOT of learning, Ive got it pretty good. Really put some miles on it this summer. All Breeds jeep show, friends wedding way in upstate NY, and Roadkill nights in Pontiac Michigan. jeep did really really well. Only issue I had was the trans speedo line started leaking on me. That was it, so absolutely no complaints. This year I don't have any huge plans. A company came out with an actual mid shift conversion for the TKX so just gotta get the courage to open up the trans and modify it for that. Little apprehensive about doing that because it permanently modifies the trans but it's out of warranty now so oh well. It'll put the shifter literally in the factory location and no weird offset bar like I'm running now. We'll see what else I can find to do, and if I outgrow the N/A power....

I could definitely give that a shot. Actually alot. I don't put it away until after Thanksgiving but it usually hits 30s in the morning this time a year. The first year I built it I didn't do any heat and I froze my butt off.

I tried that way back when I first built everything and wasn't a fan of anywhere I mounted them. Really wanted to hide them under these covers.

I don't think so. The actual nipples that come out of the firewall are in the way as well.

So I need to figure out how to move my heater core outlets 2 inches to the passenger side. I got some new valve covers and unfortunately they don't fit. I know it's sounds pretty dumb to try and make this work but I really like these and wanna keep them. The a/c outlets are in a way better spot. Too bad I can't run my evaporator as a heater core. Any ideas? The main cover fits and the coil can just squeeze on but they have these finned covers. That is the part that doesn't fit.

Been raining for 5 days straight. Finally got to take a look. I have power up to the harness relay. Haven't tracked down a broken wire but I wasn't able to get to all of it yet. It's kind of a cheaper harness so I'm just gonna make my own with new relays and wiring.
