Motivation is just a chainsaw away gentleman. And honestly, I have two days worth of work that I will stretch till the day before this, even if its June. So no worries, the East Coast Bash will still have a finish at the last second thrash similar to its West Coast brethren.
This is probably going to be me for sure.
I've got a LOT to do......Going to try a do a little something every night after work and bigger things on the weekends.
I walked right though it.
......I was out of breath at the other end.
It's looking like June.......So, Com On

That's my plan. Something every day. Today's goal is to get the front brakes on and plumbed, and on all 4 tires so I can roll her out and clean the floor. Then roll it back in and take the rear tires off to do them brakes. Then I just need new 5.38s and the doubler installed.

So hopefully this pile, will roll by tonight. And that makes it a complete shame the other side is not painted, because I am fond of the color. Be a real shame when it gets beat to bits.
Looking good 454sub!
I've got you beat...........
I've got you beat...........
You better get to work old man!
If it comes down to it, I'll run it as it sits now.
Front dig all the obstacles!!!
A couple of swivel casters, seat and fuel tank and you are good to go.
I'll Play 
Im hoping to have my back running this weekend if I can finish all this stuff for school. But still gotta swap in the 1 tons, radiator, mount the 43s, do the 52 swap, shackle flip and put the 56s in, shock mounts for all, crossover/high steer, 1410 yokes and driveshafts, twin stick the 205, build a cheap and easy skid for the 205, belts, hoses, get it inspected, and register it.... Anyone want to help any? Lol I've got about 80% of the parts, just driveshafts yokes, twin stick, high steer arms, tie rod/draglink, and buy the 43s. So another $3k thank god for tax returns.
I'm thinking about putting a 8 foot western plow on my rig. Gonna need one hell of a drop bracket. Does that count for something? I could always bring my daughters Jeep

Lol, I guess we could call it the East Side Bash?
And Martin, is this something you would possibly make?

That's going to be sweet when you get it together!
Will be sweeter when I convert it to full roller(all ready have everything and a stock 5.7 vortec cam), TPI intake, a 10:1 compression 383 short block, run of an LS computer and coils, very mildly ported L05 193 heads (trying to promote swirl) , then the doubler and lockers. That's the goal for next winter. Not going for high horse power want to have 425-450 ft lbs of torque by 2200-2500 rpm. Think it'll do it without a problem. I'm planning on running a 18 psi regulator spring, the 5.7 roller cam, better fuel pump (to get the 18 psi, and I'm gonna tweak the throttle body for a little more flow for this east coast bash though. Maybe I'll throw some lockers in before it this even though.
