Thanks everyone, it is a motivator to think of pulling it out on it's own power and trying it out for the first time. Got a lot to do before then but keeping that day in mind is a good motivator.

Got my dual fan setup yesterday but the installation isn't quite complete, still need to add a couple of pieces to seal it off, here's a couple of pictures.

Choppintime, here's the best pictures for the brake line I could come up with, with the engine installed it's hard to see the whole thing with one picture.

It's been some time since I was able to have her on all fours, rolled her out so I could paint up some parts, I took a few pictures while she was out of her stall. Should be on her own power to move around in a couple of weeks. It'll be quite a temptation to go out and give it a try.  :grinyes:

Don't get in to big of a hurry and make sure every thing looks good before fireing it up.....i had a dakota that i got in a big hury and over looked a couple of things and started it and it took off on me and then the brakes went out and it hit a tray and almost my other dakota frame and its a good thing i didn't hurt any one standing by the truck....and the car looks good...whats the gauge by where the brake booster should be??

DodgeFreak, thanks for the tip, I have considered that, I've ran the engine but haven't engaged the trans yet since there are no brakes. I actually have the linkage wired so it cannot come out of park. Won't be driving this for a while, may just pull it out under it's own power but that's about it, may run it out of the driveway around our little culdasak and back in the garage one time, then on with the rest of the project. 
Almost forgot, that's a termporary tempature gauge, it's got to be moved now since the master cylinder is ready to go in.  :2thumbs:

Thanks Ravage, hope you're right!  :grinyes:

Thanks everyone, I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to pull up this site and see a bunch of good people with the same disease as me! (there are many variations of the same disease) But I do mean it, thanks for the support! More to come in a few days, working on the brakes right now and as all of you know, just what it takes to do everything up like you want it and the way it should be done.  :2thumbs:
