Hi,
Not posted for a while, so here are a few updates...

New Mopar Cop wheels bought from fellow members (Moparnutterz) back in January...

Finally got round to fitting the wheels back in April...

New sump... (May 2017)

The new sump would bolt up ok but the crossmember was 'in the way'. The profile of the two sumps were different when you offer them back to back. I had to get TIG welder/fabricator to modify the new one and make it a custom fit... (June 2017)
