Hey All,
Pretty new to the forum, been busy working on my truck so i figured i would post some pictures and updates of the build, June 15th i picked up 97 Dakota 4 cyl 5 speed, Silver, Shortbox, pretty straight a few dents and such, the goal here is to get back into drag racing, i enjoyed Friday night drags when i was in high school, but never took it past that. i have a 73 duster that i was going to race, i built it when i was pretty young and it would need a lot of things done differently to race with, so i decided to start fresh, my duster is a great sunday cruiser!
So far i have done the following.
All new front end to include lower arms all new balljoints and bushings
Belltech 2"inch Drop Springs
Calvert Drag Shocks
Removed Sway bar
cleaned up and painted front end
picked up some smoked headlights to replace the broken stockers
replaced the lower bumper cover with new
15x4 vision star wheels wrapped in 29x4.5x15 Hoosier Front Runners
Inside i stripped everything removed all the original wiring, dash harnesses, airbags etc
Installed new gauges in place of the radio
installed al needed toggles in place of the heater controls
headlight switch is now starter button
installed nitrous purge switch
kept the functionality of the oe ignition switch
removed glove box and fabbed up a panel to hold all the main wiring, relays, fuses, ignition etc...
Hope you like what i have done so Far!! more to come!
