I finally got my dakota out of the barn. It's been sitting and collecting dust for the last 2 yrs. I was going to build another truck but this is the one that it started it all for me. So here we are. Hopefully be making some passes this coming yr. Not sure what class I'll run it. Maybe by next year I'll be fast enough and legal to run in Pro Street.
Best time I ran with is before I parked it was 7.17 in the 1/8th with a single disc converter.
Not had much time to work on until this past 2 weeks.
The truck is getting converted to a 4x4, using a Dana 60 going to get it narrowed. 4 Link front and back.
What the truck looked like before I parked it.
I moved the motor back another 4" than it was before. You can also see where I had to modify the front rails to get all the 2wd components out of the way
The truck will not sit as low as before with the addition of the front axle.
Here is the old back 1/2 rails I built, that I had NO idea what I was doing. The frame is raised in this picture, 4 link geometry was not out of wack that bad.
I walked into the shop one morning it looked like this. I wanted something new(lighter and look better) and when I walked out that evening- isnt much.
I've been working on the back 1/2 and working on the cage trying to get the chassis finished.
Most recent pictures I have.
I started on the cage yesterday.
More updates to come hopefully by next Monday.
