What did you do to your Mopar today?

I've just been ordering trim-parts for the Belvedere, as well as dropping some stuff for plating. I've gotta get back to work on the `cuda ragtop.[sigh]
 
Old fluid is fine but I've had two master cylinders leak out the back seal and ruin the cad plate on the booster and take the paint off the firewall. all in less than 10K miles.

New M/C is Wagner. Hope it's better.
And That is one of the reasons I use DOT 5. People seem to find ways to criticise it , but in my near 10 years of using it--not one problem. I do believe that mixing it with Dot 3 will cause
problems.
 
Took my 69 Coronet 4 door to Nogales, AZ to have a headliner installed. I also ordered a front end rebuild kit and a set of Police wheels from Classic Industries.....both are on back order :-(
 
Leveled the GTX up on the frame stand preparing for this:

With the FITECH fuel injection, just filled up with e85@&1.39 a gallon and it came alive, beats race fuel @$7.39 a gallon even if it uses 30 % more.

nice car, bk.
i'd be scared to death, of that unsecured wheel barrow falling over.
and the garbage cans? the animals that i call sons would miss the can and something would hit the paint.
just discovered 2 'parking lot' dings in my drivers rear quarter. interestingly, they are in the same plane as my wifes journey passenger rear door. of course, no one has confessed yet.
 
Metaldad, I appreciate the kind words, but the car is not nice yet, however, I am working on it. There is not a straight spot on the body, in fact the entire car is a project, but that is the point. I want to save this car and bring it back to it's former glory. Just as the heap it currently is, and a 4 door to boot, I still get a lot of looks and thumbs up! I call this car my Hoopdie! As for the wheelbarrow, etc...it is just me and my wife at this point, so we are both careful around our cars. Anyhow, I love it and in the end, that is all that matters. I'll keep you all in the loop as the progress continues. By the way, you have a nice ride of your own....sweet! Good luck in your ding investigation.

My next steps are; front end rebuild kit, new steel wheels (cop style), new tires, balance and alignment. After that, new exhaust from the manifolds back. All of course as the fundage allows........
 
Pulled the c-pillar chrome trim from the Belvedere[major pain]. Can't open the fill-plug on the 8 3/4 in the `cuda. It's all but destroyed, and I see this turning difficult and expensive. What a PISSER!!!

If you don't mind telling, is your headliner totally made by the upholsterer or ordered pre-made ( most of them are pre made) And your cost? I need to have mine done..................................MO
 
Installed an electric fuelpump, hard line and regulator for the nitrous.
Finished the muffler swap.
Put a nitrous plate on.
