What did you do to your Mopar today?

Delailed and painted one of the taillight lenses on my 72 Coronet today. Only 5 more to go

Getting ready for Mopars at the Strip tomorrow in Sacramento. The Coronet has been pinging at WOT. Checked the Pertronix install instructions and found the installed springs gave 24* mechanical advance. Add to the 19* initial and I found my problem. (Too late everyone, I've been kicking myself all day for not investigating sooner). Installed the advance limiters that came with the distributor and knocked the total down to 35*. No more pinging. Transition from cruise to WOT described in one word - FUN.
 
Went for a drive around the block today........put on around 150 miles. :lol:

That's a genuine Dodge top radiator hose - cut down approx 4 inches at the rad end. Fits like a glove (with one finger) :D
Dynamat is more of an anti-rattle skin than a heat/noise shield. Pulling 3G' can get a bit noisy with 4.10's on a trip :rolleyes:
 
Ordered a full gasket set for the 440, valley pan, intake gaskets, new elec choke cover, 3/8ths fuel line, tank to front of car, oil pan, a pop up fuel cap,
 
Bought a new light for car work. I assume that light is hot. Bought at Costco, LED panel 10" x 4" with 4" x4" swiveling LED panels on each end. Don't know how many el stupido got burned.
Looks good.
The light. Its brighter than you'd think.

Been diddling around with this third member mount. Wonder if its ok like this or should turn it CCW one more hole. Needs extensions on 2 tabs but don't trust my welding. So I'm to make bolt on tabs.
