Looking good.

I'm still in airports for another few hours. I can come up Wednesday to see if I fit. I'm gonna be answering emails and customer calls for a couple days. Going away for a week sure does make a lot of work for myself.

Always good times in China. The flights are stupid long but other than that I love it.

Nice.
I was noticing how your engine hoops enter the firewall. Seems like a better design than moving the ECM to stay parallel with frame rails.

Wednesday is good, or any time this week. 

I beat the floor down with BFH to make as much room for the seat.   the truck Frame gets in the way. 

its comfortable for me, so it should be tolerable for you haha




We talked about different ways to support  the front shock hoops.  seemed better to support them to the pillars.   Its kinda hard to make good structural nodes with a body in the way, but a couple gussets i think it was be a nice strong stiff car. 

I opted to support the cage of well support side bars.  just to hard to get to the narrow frame.

Let me know when you are done with it.

If you are done tonight I can grab it tomorrow during the day. Leave it outside or meet me there?

Power is not the issue, its got that and the single mpg towing to prove it.

Suspension is not good, feels like the trailer could throw the truck around at any point.

surprising, mine towed pretty stable, and I had her loaded up GOOD a few times. Only time I felt that way was towing another Dakota. That was pushing it...

I have some sweet helper springs that might fit it. They were on my 98 and kinda felt like a rear swaybar...

I've been meaning to see if they'd fit the Eagle but haven't gotten to it. If they'll fit they're yours if interested.
