What did you do to your Mopar today?

Put the boot-surround moldings on yesterday. Holy ****!!!...What a PITA!! The two side moldings are really a challenge. 6 clips in each one, that get screws from the backside. The right one didn't take more than about 45 mins-to an hour....but the left one went on and off about 10 times. It wouldn't lay correctly, the clips kept sliding, etc. I ended up elongating the holes, and after about 3 hours...it went on. YEA!

Cleaned-up and painted the driver's vent box I got from out west, then installed it. Me and a friend mounted the fly-by-wire gas pedal, after altering it for fit. It needed several alterations to clear the A/C and floor. Turned-out nice, and works perfectly. I love how quiet this car is.

Working on how to route the gas tube connection from my modified filler to the tank area . . .

From the filler through the floor in the trunk . . .

Then 90 degrees toward the frame rail . . . notch the one that it's touching in the middle . . .

then another bend ( this will go through the frame ) . . . and into the middle of the car where the tank will be . . .
Rubber hose connection from here to the tank . . .

That's a very small filler tube. Do you have a large vent tube, as well?

Still got the vent tube to get in place . . . I know it looks small but it is what is used on all of the current cars ( pulled these pipes from cars at Pull-A-Part ) . . . so I really hope that if it works in those cars it'll work here . . . ( crossing my fingers ) . . .

The tube is as big ( maybe slightly bigger ) then what's on the gas pumps, so it "would seem" like the gas flow through the tube would be the same . . . ( maybe ) . . .

let me know if it really needs to be bigger before it all gets welded into place on the car . . .

Thanks a ton for watching my back ! ! !

No problem.....that's why we share info. Your old [large diameter] fill tube, vented while filling along with a vent. Unless you run a substantial vent-tube....it'll take forever to fill the car.
 
A little cold today out in the garage so I dug out a insulated vest I bought 15 years ago. That dam thing shrunk 3" around, couldn't snap it together. Put a sweatshirt over it, toastee. Connected lines so I could pump 65 Dodges tank dry. Mounted a flat board on floor jack so 8.75 won't fall off jack when I roll it under Satellite like it did the last time. Will put nut on front spring hanger that Wagonman supplied, got a note taped to rocker so I don't forget.
 
Got all the regulators and window tracks into the vert. Bought new AMD door regulators, and ended up throwing one away. One piece was spot-welded on incorrectly, and the alignment of bolt-holes was way off. I got out the carbide burr to elongate the holes, so we could keep working. As I was opening up the holes, 5 spot-welds let go. Typical chi-com crap. We just cleaned up the 50 year-old ones a bit....and bolted them in. I gotta laugh, when I think how these are mopar-approved parts. NO quality control and probably a chi-com spot-welder. Solder, glue, boogers, etc.... would have held them together better. Pure junk. Two of several pics of the quality of the alignment, and weld strength.

Wired in the transbrake switch and the 2-step. Finish connecting to the trans when that goes back in the 65.

Took the quarter windows to my polishing guy. He did the stainless with the fuzzy, and still attached to the glass. He's another artisan friend.
