I wouldn't want to be the guy coming from the other direction. A bull moose could be standing in the road and you wouldn't see it until he came crashing down through the roof.
What did you do to your Mopar today?

I did that to mine 2-3 years ago. You didn't mention cussing...What apparently only 5% of the rebuilders / restorers can accomplish.... without cutting and rewelding... and they're even PST polys!Now to find the energy to go back out and do the other side !

I swore 2 times.. okay maybe FIVE ! Took 1 hr -50 minutes. ! 1 hour 30 of failed attempts and 20 minutes when I got it right. Took a two hour rest and went back out thinking I got this... 2 Fu%($@(*%$@(%*$ hours later I threw the tools on the floor and came in for supper. Will try again tomorrow..
If I succeed I'll post a "how to" in my build thread.

Had the windshield removed and cleaned the dash. Ordered new dash to cowl screws.
Last week I bought a new windshield and gasket.

Changed my oil, filter, plugs, wires cap and rotor today to get the red Charger ready for when the weather finally breaks around here. Still snowing at night and salt on the main roads.

Lots more welding to go, but it fits.

Pulled rear trans bushing today, tool worked great. Not to optimistic about driving new one in without dropping H-pipe. Not much space between pipes and crossover pipe is right below end of tailshaft. Old bushing had about .015 play it's on the right. Picture of tailshaft crossover pipe blur on right. Puller and bushing driver.

Glass company pulled SS trim and back window out. Ready for new headliner.
Well, I was a dumbass! I fired the charger up after complete rewire and many other things. Car has been in the garage since last June. Got it out for the big test drive of all electrical systems including new gauges and new digitail rear lights, firm feel stage 2 box, steering column fix, front sway bar bushings, and rear sway bar install. By the way the front sway bar bushings were a pain in the butt! After messing around, took to a friend, he cut brackets open, we slid bushings in and welded them up. By far the easiest.
Now you ask why a dumbass, no pictures or videos! So anxious to get out and going didn’t even think of it!
Did pass the first test with flying colors!

Drove in my trans tailshaft bushing. Yesterdays pessimism was crossover pipe would be a problem. The bushing driver is 2" to 3" longer than the bushing. The extra length gets it past c-pipe. Picture with bushing on driver, mostly hollow except where you hit it.
