I was going to use the one Newport engenereing makes or sells, Ron Francis also sells it. It's a real nice "all in one" that I have used before, works with almost all of the wipers out there, but I don't think it will work with a variable speed Mopar wiper. It needs the polarity inverted on a couple of terminals to work.  :clueless: The Hot rod switch doesn't do that. :dunno: I spent a little time on it and decided to go on to somthing more fun!  :bigsmile:

I hoping to put the motor in the weekend got a few buddys lined up to help ( no lifting for me ) :woohoo: I want the motor in before I go in for surgury. My buddy Robert has helped my put it in and out three times before it was painted. I think we have it down so NO SRATCHES.  :stomp: I cant wait to see the orange in the black bay  :drool:

Good Luck, it's going to be hot this weekend.
Can't wait to see more pics when it's in.

The Motor went in smooth as glass. Many thanks to my good Friends that helped.  :cheers: It was a fun day and no chips or scratches. I managed to keep from hurting my self. ( any more ) The only real snag was I forgot to install the dip stick tube before putting the motor mount on. That meant  pulling the mount back off in the car oops.  :banghead: You'll notice something different about the pics. ( if the up-loader will let me post them? ) People! To me its about the car! My wife helped out a lot and took pics and video. So for those who don't know I'm the guy with the Black shirt. The light gray shirt is my Father, and the short guy is Robert. Bryan " Mopey" managed to stay out of most pics.
Ill try pics later uploader full  :swear:

Another little update. I put the cowl together, wipers, screens, body brace. So I had to put the lateral brace and coil covers on just to see what it would look like.  :picture:
One of the "light lifting things" I have been trying to figure out how far to go with the rear trunk pockets I made to house the battery and air ride. Once the electrical and air ride components are in it will be really hard to get behind them to do any upholstery. Bottom line the black bed liner wasn't doing it for me. I was also worried about how loud the air pump might be. So I lines the pockets with 3/8 insulation ( like the firewall ) then made carpet panels to finish it off It came out pretty cool. Worth the effort I think. Now I can start filling it with goodies.   :bigsmile:

Awesome. I don't think any other word quite does it justice.
