Great work man. Your plan is really coming together, the 3d printing is a cool touch.

The internet makes me feel lazy....

Have regretted it often, believe me.

I've considered a low miles gxp or SS but the prices have held pretty high.

My 04 Comp-G is still collecting dust in the garage.

I started with a 92 SE coupe like above, then a '91 GTP with the junk 3.4 quadcam, L67 swapped that before L67 swaps were cool, then had a 98 GTP coupe before moving on. Eventually reviving my Pontiac interest with the G8.

I even started a website with a guy in new Jersey named Brian Teele, L67swap.com (later .org). We would make wiring harnesses for swaps and advise on the mechanical/electrical aspects.

Of course at 22 yrs old I lost interest and let it fall to the wayside. The forum had some cool swaps though.

ClubGP was the main forum, and GOClubGP was the "Greater Ohio" chapter.

 

One thing that sticks out to me about GOClubGP, I remember one of the members on there (she may have been an admin/moderator) had a pristine Grand Prix she tried selling for some ridiculous price back around 2008 or so. She said the oil was changed every 3,000 miles religiously. Well she wasn't kidding. She said one time she was driving home from a long trip and realized she was right at 3,000 miles since her last oil change. So she pulled over and called AAA and had the car towed home.

 

Dumbest thing I've ever heard. I think you would potentially risk more damage from a tow truck than you would going over your 3k interval. Like the oil will instantly break down at 3,001 miles and kill the motor. [emoji38]

I know we've had a few threads over the years discussing it. I just stumbled over an add for the exact model I started out with. Brought back memories of the old pointless forum battles between Intense and ZZP, and going from zero aftermarket for slow cars to L67 swaps and eventually G8's.

I've been wanting to build a hidden nightstand compartment. Something like a false top or drawer.

Looks good! I like it better than the blast of red lense. But.... Will you please get a blanket or something under that bumper when you lay it on the cement!! Lol

When entering my partner, I give her 100%. My Yelp reviews are not very good, however.

Intake looks great. Did you get some numbers for comparison before you installed it?

Got the same trans in my Silverado and I had the same issue so I took it to Lash and they flushed it for free. It fixed the shudder, but it's still just a bad transmission with a pile of lawsuits building against it. At least you had the option of going with a manual, but let me guess.. mY WiFe cAn'T dRiVe sTiCk

I'm surprised at how many diagrams come up with '75 dodge B300 motorhome chassis.

Definitely looks like a loose wire after the headlight switch.

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

Have you checked for power anywhere with your multimeter, like at the switch, at the fuse, etc...

Does this dodge use the old fusible links under the hood? I'm not familiar with 70's dodge motorhomes, lol.

I'm guessing that the running lights only come on with the headlight switch, which would be powered separately from the ignition switch, eliminating that possibility?? The running/parking lights could be on a separate circuit from the headlights after the switch, making a bad ground a possibility. How many wires come off the headlight switch you replaced? Can you trace the outgoing power any further?

Have you looked into the chrome powder coating? It's not quite as polished, but durable and cheaper. Unfortunately, when I looked into chroming, it'd be cheaper to buy new bumpers.

I've always used a friend who has his own company, he's a one man show, but does exceptional work.

After reading this thread, and watching the latest Hot Rod Garage episode with the bagged, LS swapped, Caddy boat of a car. I remembered that....... Clay is my hero. Can't wait for my shop to be finished so I can pick up cheap toys and play.

Mine showed up today, cool sticker and packed by lazy Larry, lol.

Disk standing up is compared to a Diablo.

Awesome Clay, I'm glad you guys got the trip in on the second attempt. Much respect to your wife!

Though I'm sure it was mentally daunting, you probably felt a well deserved sense of accomplishment upon completing the voyage.

Create a good base for the stairs, either packed sand/stone or cement. Set the stairs then lay the patio up to it. The base for the stairs might be a different level than the pavers depending on door height.

Plan your stone size and layout carefully to eliminate as much cutting as possible. For a beginner project, I'd see if you can find a pre-planned kit that matches your size/look requirements. There are lots like this:

FYI for anyone who might be interested later, they update the stock as they produce runs of hammers in each style, color, etc...

damn $8 shipping kind of sucks the deal away

There are a few dead blow’s left but I couldn’t get the deal to work. Thanks anyway.
