What did you do to your Mopar today?

[Fran Blacker]

When I took the Satellite out last didn't check the air in tires. I was in a rush to see if newly installed sure-grip was gripping. More important was did I get the gear set up right, yes and yes. Tire or tires felt like they were low, driver's rear 19 lbs.. All the other tires ok.
Cleaned the garage a little, very little. At least my wife's fig trees are out. The 36 sq.ft. they take up is precious, since I'm not neat. This year hope to improve that. Another thing is to photograph and inventory my NOS and used parts and put a value on them.

Took a drive, bought a set of super clean used Hooker 5903s. Met some excellent folks. Stopped for a cheeseburger.

Put about 20 miles of gentle break-in time on the new brakes.

Still working on the new AC in my daily driver. My Mopars are getting jealous.

Was finally able put some time back into into he leaf springs. Continued with cleanup & prep. Used a large vise to press in the front bushings. The separated leafs show paint markings & runs indicating they were apparently factory “dipped.” Now for paint & reassembly.....Jim

What markings?

What markings?

Hi Richard.....when I separated the leafs, the inner portions had remnants of black paint, that appeared to have seeped through & between the leafs. Paint was also found under some of the plastic spacers, and between the zinc liners. Some of the paint patterns appeared to be vertical “runs” like the leafs been hung lengthwise & “dipped” in paint after assembly....Jim

Dropped the gas tank (second time) to install the “factory” lock ring for the replacement sending unit.

As others have posted use the original lock ring, if possible, to avoid a leak.

Gotta love the extra chrome on the 500's!
That's why the Cragar SS works so well.

When I had a '64 Polara 500, Black on Black, the Cragars really did the trick!

Not mine but real close to it...

I looked at mine for many years before it was road worthy. Collect what you can, save what you can, have a plan. You'll get there.

6 long hours today farting around getting door glass sliding in both vent frames and one door glass assembly in.. set up.. tightened in place and the cats whiskers in place! Thankfully my wife walked in the shop while I was fighting the third attempt at install and could hold the lock end of the glass while I made sure the vent window rubber seal didn't jam up at the A pillar. May have saved 2 hours if I'd just called her to help in the first place...
