Phase2 on PRO-RUNNER nearly completed...

[gionni]

so we could install the complete front suspension…
alterktion-frame at first…





lower tubular-arms and shockwaves…


upper tubular-arms and spindle....


and so the front suspension was on her place!



i became in same time my complete rebuild 727 with shift-kit, billet servo, race parts and other goodies…and i painted it flat-black…



then i mounted the rack and pinion…

[gionni]

the new motor-mounts…


and then the engine and trans (here still with the old oilpan)…




next step were the mod’s on the rear suspension!
before powder coating the rearend, was necessary to modifing the suspension-system, to weld all brackets and bars and to testing the complete installation! only then, we could bring the rear axle to poader coating…

first step was parting the axle partially out…


mounting side towers…


the floor needed a slighty modification…


shockwave-testing…


and install the outside-brakets…


both bars for the 4-link and for the shockwaves that cames between the frame rails, are to short for the 71-floor…so we cut out both ends on both bars…

[gionni]

then test-mounting of complete suspension and exactly mesurement of position and ride-hight…



after this, we estended the bars with larger tubes and new mounting plates…and then welded the rear bar on frame…



next positioning of 4-link-arms on the bar and on ride-hight…





and then we extended the front bar same like the rear bar…and welded the bar also on the frame…


the front bar, is also screwed on the floor with mount plates form the inside…

[gionni]

next, we positioned the 4-link-arms on the axle in right position and tack-weld the tabs on the axle…





and when the alignment was rechecked, we removing the arms and i welded solid the tabs on the axle. then i mounted the complete rear suspension to check the position and alignment…



finally the rear axle could be bring it to powder coating!

[gionni]

and then cames the last finish for the complete underground…









in same time, i recived my complete new leather-covered dash pad…and i mounted it!


next step was the steering column with both coupler….

[gionni]

and then the complete interior!


the next day came the rear axle from powder coating back…


and now we could install and adjust the complete rear suspension…

[gionni]

the car must be done for a car show, and we did have no more time for the custom made of a new stainless X-pipe exhaust system. so i painted for now my old exhaust-system with flowmasters, and in a few weeks cames the new system on it…


with the new rear suspension the old exhaust system will not fit….so i install turndows for the moment!

then cames the last things on the floor…(lines, parking brake cable…)






and the new transmission got a new chrome mopar-performance oil pan with more capacity…
