What did you do to your Mopar today?

Striped a drivers seat back that was cracked, but not as bad as mine.
Have a guy welding and reinforcing, hope i never have to deal with this again.
 
Two steps forward and one step back today. I got the hoses on the PS pump, and got all the belts installed and tightened. Can you spot the issue? I didn't like to angle of the upper rad hose, so I shortened it.... apparently too much.

Replaced the bulb sockets, rewired, polished the lenses and blacked out the tail light housings.
Also the first time in near 20 years it's had a rear valance. AMD piece I bought long ago. It took some cutting, grinding, drilling, cursing, etc.

Few days ago I was moving the Coronet from the Garage on the house back into the shop and decided to stop for a few winter pics since it was such a beautiful day out....

Hate where the shop that did the inspection put the sticker...I assumed they'd put it down low in the bottom corner NOT at the top...oh well just has to stay on until this coming November then once it expires I can remove it.

Nice pics but ANY snow is never a nice day imo
 
Replaced the upper rad hose that I cut too short. Plenty of clearance now. I got smarter this time draining the rad. Last time it hit the sway bar mount and made a mess. This time I got creative.

I killed two birds with one stone today. The fuel line was crushed in one spot, either by someone chaining the car down, or by me trying to bend the pinch welds back into shape. I also wanted to add an electric fuel pump to prime the carb after sitting for a while.

I put the gauge cluster back in the Charger after having the speedometer restored by Redline Gauges. Got everything hooked back up and then got it screwed in place. Didn’t try it to see if everything works. Didn’t want to take a chance on ruining my evening, lol.

Nice. Last time I did it I just pulled off the lower radiator hose and let it drain into a big pan I had laying around. Made more of a mess than your method though.
 
The funnel method is nice when your drain valve actually works.

I have yet, in my (many) years of driving, to find a valve that works on a regular basis.
 
Tire light came on last week. Pretty sure it was seasonal atmospheric pressure change.
Came on again Monday at lunch.
Didn't even look at it.....should have-

Yes, I see the "replace tire soon" indicator.
 
Put the instrument cluster back in the car after replacing the boogered speedo with a spare non-boogered speedo.
