You know, I have some pictures of when they were in the process, but it was years ago and on a different PC, so not sure where they are. Probably stored on a floppy disc. 

I do have a pic of the body tub as it was just being put back on the frame. The angle is pretty good, and you can see the shape of the tubing used for the sliders. I hope this helps at least a little.

I will try to send it to you then and you can look it over. Let me know if there is anything I need to fix and I will revise it and send it back. If you want to post it let me know.

sent you a IM with link

The sliders are not connected to the frame rails, they were welded in where the factory rocker panels would go.

WOW!!!

Just absolutely fantastic Brad. I may have missed it...But, what did the front seats come out of?
Keep up the great work.

Thanks for the kudos I worked really hard on it and for being my first time doing it I think it came out good. I am honored that you like it Brad I was really blown away by this build and felt compelled to give tribute.

I just wanted to say thanks!! You did a totally AWESOME job on the vid!!!!!!!!!!

That is a cool video! Well done!!!

Thank you 

I dropped the RC off at Seguin Canvas & Awning this morning and picked it up after work. I was very pleased with the way it turned out and the price wasn't bad either. It's fastened with commerical grade Velcro and is made out of a material used for boat covers, so is water, tear and fade resistant. They rolled the edges, sewed he Velcro, and did cut outs for everything including the grab handles. I drove it on the highway and there was very little flutter it is attached so well.

You can also see the fire extinguisher, Radflo off-road jack & grab handles that were installed & I don't think I posted pics of. I got a Mopar squeeze ball at an automotive conference & never knew what to do with it. Turns out that it works just right as a pad between a CB antenna and your paint. 

Thanks Mike 

Brad, Looks AWESOME!!!
I hope my RC comes out at least 1/2 as good as yours . You have got to be so proud to drive her. Also tell all the guys that worked on her they did an awesome job!!!!!!

PS; Thanks for the pic fix!! I was going through withdrawl.

Absolutely stunning RC...Better than showroom for sure. I just hate this man...LOL.

I'm thinking of doing the "cheap" version of that on the trail rig. 

Yeah he wears them every once in a while even though we beg him not to

Thanks!  


Oh Sam, you know you love it. Here's a pic of me and Sam at the Corpus Christi beach last summer. Guess which one is which...   

Brad.. You just ain't right!!! 

bikini top looks great as does the rest of the truck! 

trook looks amazing  love the top   im tryin to find a soft top.

i have a soft top for a ramcharger it was custom made for an rc thats not a poptop all you would have to get is some male snaps im looking for $150 on it let me know.

I've been crazy busy at work, but I am supposed to start some new stuff on the RC this coming weekend. The only thing I can think of that's already done...

New B&M Mega Shifter-truck series which works great. The Hurst shifter sucked!

Took it to the annual Mopar Club of San Antonio's car show last month and it was a blast. I've also wheeled it at Cline Ranch ORP, which is a hard core rocks & hill climbs kind of place. The Texas chapter had a pretty good showing & there's a thread on the TX Chapter board.

Coming up:
Winch basket, HID lights that work, spare tire carrier, roof rack, completed hard top and a few other things I'd like done this year. After the first... well, I'm looking for about 40-50 more hp and have some ideas, and I'm thinking of moving the rear axle back 2-3".

Other than that? I've just been enjoying it with the family. 

I posted that I needed some on the "Parts Wanted" board and Comrade Cheddar sent me an IM saying he has a truck with nice panels he was parting out. I found a lot of good stuff that way. Sometimes I had to repost or bump a wanted threaded once a week for a couple of months, but I usually found what I was looking for.

I've been looking for an AC controller for two years, and finally found one of those as well. Tony from PA has one and shipped it today! 

wish i'd noticed your a/c request. a lot of those are still in chrysler warehouses. but unless you have an old time parts guy or they have the old books they have no way of looking it up. what you can do in trhe future is get the p/n off the control and ask the dealer to run it. some of the old numbers are still good. some superceed to later model #'s.   i will have to post for panels or armrests. thanks for the info.

The Mopar club in San Antonio doesn't give out trophies or 1st through whatever. They just do top twenty plaques, and with nearly that many super nice Hemi cars, fuel injected 500ci cars w/Keisler 5 speeds and $10,000 paint jobs, plus being at a muscle car show & was the only truck there... no I didn't get a plaque. It was still a ton of fun.

There was an endless parade of people looking at it. Not only that, Missy made up a small placard & put it on the driver's window saying, "feel free to open doors". People really liked that because most are too short to see inside. That and the prestine muscle car group all had placards that said, "Don't Touch".

I didn't take pictures at the show, but I did get a picture of the RC by a professional photographer as part of the entry. It's pretty cool. I'll see if I can scan it & post it later. It's huge.
