What did you do to your Mopar today?

[Brandy]

Forgot to post pics, plus I started to sew up the mini tub project finally. I got interested in the hood fab work. Anyway the frame is all cleaned up and ready for Eastwood rust converter after which I will install the stiffeners up each side channel before I put the skin back on.

I drove mine.

Been a busy little camper in the shop today:

1) Drilled holes for and attached the six trim pieces that go on the hood and cowl of one of my '68 D100 pickups

2) Pulled apart most of the rest of the front of the 318 in my lowered '68 D100, to finish the timing set replacement tomorrow

3) Partially disassembled the DS door card on the '66 Imp convertible, to prepare to R/R the DS door power window motor.

4) Gazed intently at the '66 Coronet. Tomorrow, I'm taking it out for a short spin.

Wow, car looks great! Was it a race car? Please let us in on the story how it wasn't registered for all those years - it must have very low mileage...

Yes, it was a race car shortly after it was purchased, raced till 1979 and then put in storage when I purchased it in 2011. It shows 8800 miles.

Oh the luxury of owning a classic.

what did 'I' do today? ........hmmmm well I got a call from Discount Tire.

Let's say the background is that I've been doing business with them since 1985. Recently I've purchased tires for my daughters car, wifes car....and my truck. I'd say I'm up to at least 2500 with these cats. Some background .... I met the VP at a Houston Rockets game. Now funny he wants my business account but not so responsive when "I WANT TO SELL HIM SOMETHING".

So I buy the 68 Satellite...order my new tires and wheels. "sir we will place the order and it will be shipped next Tuesday" Well seems fair enough to me. EXCEPT that was 4 weeks ago. Today a manager calls me and explains that when they receive "CUSTOM MADE WHEEL ORDERS" ....that it can take up to 6 weeks. I attempt to politely explain people order these wheels ALL THE TIME...and its not custom order. WELL he continues as if this will explain away the delay and long azz time for them to respond.

I WAS NOT happy.

 

[451Coronet]

Mine as well, 45 year pump with a seal leak oh well lol firm fell or borgeson on the list of the things to get.

Mine gave up the ghost the just the other day while goin for a drive. Some steering wheel vibration then nothing, no more power steering, babied it home. Time to visit the local pick and pull ha.

I do like Firm Feels products though, had a Stage III power chuck in my Coronet. Muy bueno!!! Night and day. Will go same route in the Satty if I end up keeping it.

Lovingly bought and accepted delivery in a top quality California Car Cover so I can tuck my baby in at night and stroke her when not in use. Also got the 4 wheel well lip chrome pieces on as best as can be expected as they were repops. Also bought a California Car Duster - one for the outside and a mini for the inside. I just can't show enough love for that car. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Kept them both tucked in the garage for now, been kind of wet here in Florida.

Nothing... I just sat there and admired it.

I caught the last Show and Shine at the Atlanta Speedway. Took the old Dodge around the Speedway then watched drag racing. What a blast. Between watching the fuel and temp gauges forgot to take pics. But here's the buddy seat I recovered by myself.

Wiring on two cars. Sucks.

[Riverdawg]

Nothing, but got to cruise in my friends RT for a while last night [emoji41]

 

[patrick66]

Got the front of the 318 in the D100 buttoned up. Still need to paint the intake and do some detail work, plus change the oil/filter and refill with coolant. I have only driven this truck 22 miles in the last three years since I bought it, so I really want to get this back on the road!!!
