Yea  Randy, I saw that in your build thread, very cool and is going to give you a super clean engine compartment. It won't help supply vacuum boost to your brakes though  :thinking:

hmm, my 2015 JGC has electric power assist brakes but still has fluid and reservoir (special fluid). It is a cool set up though, eliminate another pully & belt.

Are you running coil overs with no reinforcement of the shock towers?  :o

@soundcontrol
The coil overs mount to the custom K Frame, NOT the stock shock towers. Only the upper control arms mount in the factory locations.

Aha, I see that now, good thing!

This week was productive... I got my new AMD deck lid and mounted the spoiler I got from @69BFan, thanks again Richard :bigthumb:

...and the RMS suspension came in this week as well....I got the rear completely finished mounted and next week I will start the front...

Is that a RMS 4 link in the rear?  I'm don't plan on going that route myself.   But what do you think of that suspension?  I'm leaning towards buying everything hotchkiss for my rear suspension with a 1" rear leaf spring relocation kit.

In the past I've installed and worked with Control Freak rear suspension.
This RMS set is much better and easier to install. It won't allow wider tires because it uses the factory spring perches to mount the lower link bars.
There is practically unlimited adjustment in this thing, especially for pinion angles etc... and you can raise and lower the shock mounts and even reposition the lower bars for "track" use....

I just like it 'cause it looks cool 8)

Unlucky week 13 I guess....

First off...I've been playing with cars for 40 years and until yesterday I've never owned METRIC tools  :headbang: What the heck ? American Muscle with metric bolts....Two trips to CDN Tire to buy a couple of tools, and likely one more tomorrow.. :pullinghair:

Went to swap on the new Holley center sump oil pan, and in the good ol' quality standards of the day....there was no way the new sump would bolt up with the flange clocked way off....Nothing a bunch of heat wouldn't fix...

After swaping the oil pan, I moved on the clutter up the front of the engine with all the accessories, only to finish my day by finding out that the main harness is designed for a passenger side mounted starter motor, not driver's side like I'm using :drunk:  More wire splicing I guess :bricks:
