Here are some of my projects I got going on right now.
Start with the mule.
1998 Dodge Dakota(yes i know it's not a monte)

She's not the prettiest yet

new hood an grill

the old one
Still got some things to do body wise but she's starting to look a little better.she's not to bad for 14 years an 213k
The engine has been on it's death bed for the past 13k but refuses to die.I got another engine sitting out int the garage for her.

My engine fleet.It's just a little crowed in the garage lately.


The new engine for the mule.Nothing to special just some thing thats doesn't have a lot of miles or smokes.
Mary Jane on the other hand is going to be a handful.
I'll be loosing the great running 350 an swaping in a LQ4 LSX engine.
I got a iron head LQ4 6.0 that will soon power Mary Jane.The plans for the engine will only be a set of 862 aluminum heads an a cam for the time being as I mostly want the swap items to be the main priority to get her up an running.


The new.Not yet cleaned up.Got to change the engine in the mule first.

The old.Very strong running


Just some of what I'm doing at the moment.

 

Nice man! Cant wait to see it finished,and maybe in person!

 

very nice. i love doing things like this, working on them till 2-3am drinking beer with the radio on. one of the most relaxing things i have found lol

 

I love being out in the garage with some good tunes play an just working away on the monte. Still a little cold just yet but soon thats all i'll be doing.
The only bad part is I work on cars all day an it tends to beat the desire to work on my stuff out of me.

 

Sweet dakota hope my Furd lasts that long lol

 

I only paid $900 for it an it's never let me down.Was mostly all origanal except for the clutch an water pump.Needed a little brake work an ball joints an a heater core when I got.Only had to do a set of the world's easiest wheel bearing's an a radiator.She's be one great truck still getting 18-20mpg's an thats better than what the epa said it get.

 

Looks like you have a bunch of projects going on. Good luck getting them done.

 

Looks like a playground in there, nice.

 

They'll get done.I need the truck done soon before it finally dies.The mmonte might be a little while.

It's the best kind of a play ground for a car guy.Horse power every wear
