Hey, I posted on your thread on moparmusclemagazine.com but maybe you didn't see it.
I really love your truck and it's providing me with motivation for my frame off resto I'm in the middle of right now.
Where did you get your rims done? It's an immaculate job!
Also, I noticed you converted to R-134a refrigerant. Did you have to replace all the hoses & components or did you just replace the drier & compressor? I had concerns about the in-line filter-thing on the hose right on top of the compressor. Did you buy a new hose or did you just flush through this?

Hey, could you (or anyone else with a Shelby Dak) do me a favor and take a picture of the passenger-side exhaust manifold?
My SD came without the Air Heater shield that bolts to the manifold. I wanted to see exactly how this heater looks so I can try to fab one up (I have a 3.9L heater I can modify). Also, I wanted to see how the manifold bolts/studs/washers/nuts are configured on that manifold since a lot of mine were broken and I don't know if they were supposed to be bolts or studs/nuts. I'm trying to be correct.
FYI: YearOne makes a nice Reprop Exhaust Manifold Hardware Kit for the 318 (AKC8062 or AKC8023) and I want to make sure I get the right combo of studs & bolts.
Also, I noticed my SD's Charcoal Canister was mounted on the passenger wheel well as opposed to the radiator support as it is on all other Daks. I sifted through all the Chrysler documentation and they don't explain this change. Is this correct for the SD?
