What did you do to your Mopar today?

[dadsbee]

Got mad at her and told her to get outside! (Had to move her back to the hoist bay so I have room to work in the shop)

If the weather holds out for the next few days, I'll have mine out of the hibernation trailer and into the shop. Got most of the junk off that was piled on it and most of the stuff out from under it. Got to somehow air up one tire that went flat after it was holding air for years and the side it's on is right up against the wall of the trailer. Figures. Might have to use my garden tractor to pull it out. Hopefully, it'll be back in the shop by the weekend.

Blow up a tire to 50 psi put tire fitting on both ends. Then put both fitting on stems to transfer air from full to flat tire.

Get a tire dolly that rolls and jack up the car. Put it under the wheel and roll it out. Or, if no room to get it under the tire then block it up under the frame or suspension and roll it out.

There was a little Eastwood radiator paint left in the can, so I used it to blacken the leading edge of the package shelf. I had found that the old GY9 paint was visible through the gap between the package shelf and rear seat back cushion.

Good eye, that's the sort of stuff that drives me nuts...

I found that detail after the last repaint after I had reinstalled the interior. So I had just put a few rows of electrical tape. I think the low-gloss black paint will be an improvement.

Got started plumbing in the fuel lines for the EFI system....

Started the refresh on my dash.
Lots of **** has to come out to get the dash pad out and back in.
I’m going to re-dye the dash pads and the new top pad so they all match.

 

[The Rebel]

Took it out for a nice drive, probably doing the same today.

Think I understand what you're saying......but sounds like a pita lol

Don't have any dollies but wouldn't hurt to get some. And just took a look at where the valve stem is and it's at 9 o'clock if you're looking at the right side rear wheel and there's room enough to get to it with an air hose. Thing is, the tire looks pretty crappy and might not hold air.


The car is ready to come out of hibernation but since I decided to put down a new floor on the drop down door, it's going to happen until maybe tomorrow if it doesn't rain. Slight chance but it's supposed to be 80 degrees! That will be 1 degree from breaking a record! Anyways, got tired of dealing with half of the door flooring being rotten and pulled it all off and laid down some better lumber. Also got rid of the bright aluminum tread plate that was always blinding me when the sun was at the right angle....which is pretty much all the time. Gots to shuffle a couple of vehicles in the shop but at least they move with the turn of a key Lost a couple of days working due to allergy crap. Gotta quit making fires in the burn pit I guess. NOT!

Went to pick up a 66 Sat parts car to trailer back home. Friend with a Dodge panel doing the towing, threw 4 tires with 50+ psi in the back, no portable air. Just had stems near each other stem air fitting on both ends of the hose. Just like filling 2 tires at once. See your problem. Looks kind of tight unless you get it out of trailer. Probably break the bead on one tire at least.

I have a 50' air hose that will reach it. There's barely enough room to get to the valve stem but it's at the 9 o'clock position so it's doable. The tire is in pretty bad condition anyways so it won't matter if it doesn't hold air. It would just be easier to move it out if it did hold at least for a little while.

Removed the lower cowl on my 66 top piece was taken off last week.

 

[71charger_fan]

I installed some roof/headliner insulation today.

 

[Cranky]

Car is gone........from the trailer, finally! And it's been awhile since it's been registered. The old tire that was flat in the trailer wasn't too hard to get to and actually is still holding air 4 hours later!

 

[MWFan]

Finally got my valley pan/intake gasket kit from Autozone (O'Reilly ordered one 6 days ago, can't find it...) and installed it. Hope it fixed my idle smoking condition. Waiting until tomorrow for gasket goo to set up and see what happens....

 

[Brandy]

Welding closed the trim holes. Redesigning the door panel items. Moved some things around and got it so the armrest has a bolt down inside the window switch hole for pulling against to open the door. Building pieces for each end of the armrest pull handle. Now that I have all of the things located correctly i'll buy a new piece of hard board and make a clean card.

I installed the front to rear brake line, cleaned the gunk out of the distribution block and bled the brakes.

 

[Dreamcatcher]

Today I just sat and stared at it in awe! Looks so good back on wheels.
