What did you do to your Mopar today?

Pulled the 61-year-old, one-piece headliner out of the '55 Plymouth wagon because it was cracked and keeping me from rewiring the back of the car. It rewarded me with yet another rodent nest to clean out in addition to the two in the quarter panels.

Got some new rubber for the back of my silver car. cleaned the wheel-tubs as well as I need to, and wrestled the things on. What a PITA!!! Can't wait to get the car back on the ground with the new rollers. Tomorrow, back under the car to make the rest Purdy.

Finally got myself a "nice" spray gun to help with this effort . . . it comes with a 1.3, 1.5, and a 1.9 tip . . . and boy does it feel good ! ! !

Used the shop vac to pull a couple of gallons of water out of the Jeep Commander after a few days of soaking rain revealed a clogged sunroof drain. At least the drain tubes are easy to get to in the Commander.
 
Pulled the trans out of my little srt 4 neon trying to figure out the problem looks like I smoked the bearings when I raped a local corvette club member in his c6 vette got to love a turbo car but hate working on them took roughly 3 hours to get it out I had practice as it got a new stage 3 spec clutch a while back .
I am going to upgrade all internals to stage 3 should be good for 600HP I'm only at 436HP to the wheels so should be just fine . I'm also going to upgrade the turbo it's a cheap aftermarket one it's bigger than stock but poor quality I'll have to pony up $2000 for one that will last
 
I finished cleaning the underside and rear suspension of the car today[6 hours]. Hooked-up the shocks and anti-roll bar, as well. Tonight we bled the brakes on the `cuda, again. Just can't get the hard pedal I'm looking for.
 
I got to have a whole lotta fun fun cutting into the side of my panel to allow me to work on correcting my "first pass" disaster on the passenger rear quarter panel . . .

Two steps backwards to try and get this thing moving forward again . . .

Just finished cleaning the whole underside and engine bay of the car. Now I have to remove the grill and associated pieces for more cleaning and coatings. Same with the rear bumper.
Gotta pull the column for some paint touch-up, as well. I've used 2 gallons of Windex, 2 cases of paper towels, and about 20 hours to clean the bottom and bay.

Time really goes by, fast. I can't believe I finished this car in 3-2006.

Finished the last panel of my dash and now I'm trying to decide on my configuration for the gauges.

Any help is appreciated. I'm leaning towards bottom left or one of the two in the middle right.

bottom left is good. Have you tried/is there room to do the third down right side but stack the middle 2? Just curious.
 
Not enough room to stack, I tried but it was a no go.

Wow, gorgeous ride
 
Got my messed up panel welded back up, and the pulled in section much better in alignment then it previously was . . .

Now it's time for me to move onto the bodywork on this side . . . Hope this will help it go a little smoother now . . .

Whew . . .
