What did you do to your Mopar today?

[5.7 hemi]

Trying to bleed brakes and my buddy never showed up. So I'm gravity bleeding them......not having a good time.

That sucks you got stiffed....but gravity bleeding has always worked best for me. Definitely not the quickest.

Figured out why I'm having no luck, a fitting is loose and leaky. Ughhhh!!

I was a little reluctant to post pics of what I have done to the car yesterday and today. My fab and welding skills arn't the greatest. I keep trying so here are my pics.

How do you gravity bleed? ....................MO

You open the bleeder on the wheel your working on and walk away for a while, but check the mc fluid level often.

So, I assume on a complete 4 wheel bleeding, it would be in order: RR--LR--RF--LF ? So what do you look for- a steady drip from each bleeder? Do nothing to the master cyl. except keep fluid in it?
I'm thinking a rubber hose from the bleeder to a clear jar would make less mess...........Thanks......................MO

You are correct on all accounts. I just gave the nitty gritty way of doing it.

Got the rest of the exhaust off the silver car.....time to get back to cleaning. Yea!!! NOT.

Removed my vent box, took it apart, cleaned it up and resprayed it. I made the mistake last summer of opening it up at speed and was greeted by an enormous cloud of dust in my face....Probably should have cleaned it prior to opening it up for the first time

Think that I've finally got this driver side looking pretty good . . . time to move onto the passenger side ! !

Looking from the rear forward . . .

From the front looking back . . . got it pretty good - still a couple small areas to fix, but the gross "ugly" parts have been cleaned up !

Now over to the passenger side . . .

Also talked to my buddy and we're going to be fabricating the shaved door handles for this car shortly - anxious to get them "created" and installed on the car ! ! !

75 degrees here in SC. Took a nice long drive.

 

[Larrry B.]

Finally getting back to my seats. Holidays and work took a lot of time and almost completely sapped my momentum.

Not horrible for my first attempt at interior. I've had my car for 6 years and this is the first interior work I've done, so it'll feel a lot better than it was.
These were the cheap covers from PG (all other vendors had no stock when I needed to order), they fit ok. A little seam separation when I was stretching but no to bad.
My intent is to eventually do a custom white interior as white is the original color on my vehicle, so these at some point will come out.

 

[Coronet 14]

Those seats look good

 

[44070dart]

OK ..life has curve balls... bought a 67 Coronet and turned out to be, not what it suppose to be (some people suck)..snagged a set of buckets, console and shifter out of a 66 a few days later ...just redid the console, it was a mess, looks pretty good for a driver quality ..now got a console, buckets and no car to put them in... not selling these, just have to find another 66/67 ...(need pass. carpet piece if anyone has one)

 

[Force Fed Mopar]

Sold some parts, put some valve seals in a 2.2 Turbo head, got PO'd at my 90-dollar valve spring compressor that works no better than a 20-dollar tool...
