JeremyP Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hey dooooodes,Since the hunter is nearing completion, I thought I'd share some photos and info on the build. It's rocking a 4.2 w/ford 19lb injectors, r380,lt230,24 spline diffs and axles, etc etc etc. the entire drivetrain has been gone through and I actually lifted it off the frame for the resto. It doesn't look like it, but once I spray all the panels(Sahara Tan), it'll be put back together and ready to start! Here are some photos, but more to come. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/adu7y6up.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/3aha3a5e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/yvy2ajuv.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/u6uzavyd.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/9azu2a8e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/u7ahu4ud.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/jara3agu.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/bysysu7y.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/9utaraqa.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/04/eneqanez.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROVRMAN2 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just curious is that a 428 cid Ford Cleveland block and distributor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyP Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 A rover 4.2.... Eh, close enough! Wouldn't mind having some ford power, though! Thanks Nick! I'm really shooting for the end of the month to have her pretty much buttoned up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Just curious is that a 428 cid Ford Cleveland block and distributor? ha! It does sort of look like an old FE at a glance, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyP Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Thanks! Yeah, I think I'm going to repaint the valve covers to match the truck or back to factory aluminum. I just painted the rest of the steelies, so now I'm just waiting for the paint for the panels to arrive. Today brings goodies.... A Saudi grille is in the mail and scheduled for delivery today. That'll be a nice look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyP Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Saudi grille is inhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/05/ynetudy6.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/05/rybuba7u.jpgSuch an interesting grille. It sticks out over an inch further than the light buckets to supposedly fit a larger oil cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pedram Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Ohhh I see... I now know what is taking up your time away from my stuff...... Well it's going somewhere good. I like this build. I'll keep my eyes out for the rest. Nice start. Lots of work into this project. I wish you could take mine in and clean things up like this. It needs it. Do you think you will have time to start mine and finish before July? I want to go to some trips soon. I haven't been able to escape the welding and fabing these days.

Depends on what we find when the transfer box is out:/ that'll make it or break it! The one you have me checks out and I will be putting it back together throughout the week, so let's try to get your disco down in the next couple. Thanks, I actually haven't had much time to work on lately. I need to go to LA twice in the next 4-6 weeks, so that's going to eat up my time as well, but all for a good reason:) got a couple surprises in store in the next few months!

JeremyP Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 So I decided to strip all the panels back to metal instead of building up over the original. Almost ready to prime and then returning the garage back into a paint booth....fun! Updated photos to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
