Just some better pictures for an update today.

Made some progress on the front fenders this weekend. They're looking better than they ever have, but it's taking a ton of work. Still (obviously) have to do the bottom of the front corners. I'll remove the little fluted thing at the front of the fender I welded on as I work on the compounded...

Last week actually offered a little time for me to get out to the garage. ...And it felt GREAT! I finally replaced a brace I had originally made with square tubing with one I just made from 1/2" round-bar. I also started to correct an issue I created on the front corners of the nose of the...

It's been a while since I made a panel van update. For that matter, it's been a while since I worked on the panel van. Summer offers time to spend with the kids and extended family that we don't often get during Iowa Winters. Summer also offers ways to make extra money... Anyway, one of my...

I finally began working on the new dash over the weekend. First thing I did was make a couple more mounts for the heater/air box so I wouldn't have to worry about it moving around or breaking the three wimpy little firewall bolts that were kind of holding it in place. With that solid, I removed...

What bed-liner product are you using for undercoating?

Sometimes, I Just start building. Other times I design on the computer. Still other times, I enjoy getting out the pencil and designing on paper. I thought I went home with a good solution the other day. But, then I talked to a good friend and realized I was going about things the wrong way. I...

Designing my exhaust is exhausting work...

The harness thinning continues. ...and I now have a working Instrument Panel from a Jeep Grand Cherokee (at least, so far, anyway). The installation doesn't exactly have a "done" stamp yet, but the instrument panel lights up and registers things I think it should register. Who knows what all...

I have not yet made the circuitry to convert the single function front running lights to dual function to handle both running lights and turn signals. But, here are a few shots and a video of the way the lights look. You can see I have the LED's on the bottom of the headlights wired to handle...

Your comment is ironic because that "list of things to be deleted and tuned" has been on my mind recently. My intent is to keep most of the OEM systems intact for the novelty of it. So, my list is a little different. · Remove EGR · Remove second O2 sensors (Could leave these in...

I've been working on thinning out the wiring harness. Gone are the curtain airbag wires, the seat belt tensioner wires, most of the wiring for the rear doors and most of the wiring for the trunk. I need to research whether the seat belt tensioner wires need to simply be soldered together as to...

Looks like you've got a great project going! Nice job finding her in such good condition! ...and as strange as it may be, I kind of like the light blue on her. Reminds me of an old "boat" I used to have. I can't seem to find any pictures of her right away, but here's an Internet find twin. Your...

Working on electrical for the Panel Van as I try to slim down the '06 Charger stock wiring harness that's feeding everything. I don't have the original marker lights that used to be mounted below the headlights. So I found these gems and am waiting with baited breath for them to show up in the...

I've made some slow progress on the electrical for the Panel Van. The headlight wiring is getting closer to being pronounced "done." All the electrical needs to be tidied up, so this isn't completely a waste, but it seems I've distracted myself from my goal of getting the dash done. But... How...

Quick (yeah right... I can't seem to stop talking!) status update video for the Panel Truck. This update is longer than I really wanted to make it, but I walk around the entire truck and talk about all kinds of things that I've been working on. From electrical (biggest part of video) to...

I wondered if that might work. These modern clusters are used as a wiring hub, of sorts, for everything from the power windows to the power locks and even the dome lights. It's a bit ridiculous, if you ask me. Love how your hid your electronics! Nicely done sir!

I've come to the conclusion that the '06 Charger wiring was not engineered at the same time as the '06 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Some of the wiring is obviously the same, but there are things that make me want to take a step back. Here are some of the highlights... 1. The Charger cluster is...

Working on identifying and (hopefully) reconciling the wiring differences between the '06/'07/'08 Jeep Grand Cherokee & '06 Charger instrument clusters...

Love seeing your progress! Keep up the good work!
