What did you do to your Mopar today?

Drove to a Mopar show today. I met Dave6T4 and a couple of other members, and saw some cars I recognized. Here are a few pictures.

I finally put my springs back together. Those little band clamps were a bear. But we got them.

Pulled the exhaust manifolds off my 383, replaced the spark plugs and installed manifold gaskets. After 2 years of work the car is going in for head pipes and inspection. Looking forward to finally driving my car.

Pulled carb inlet filter, NOT PRETTY on supply side: only 4# (had 6-7 last time ran it) on gauge at carb: Tme to change inline filter, fuel pump (age unknown) & ign coil (age unknown) Fuel tank to inline filter normal no muck
 
Put the xmsn back in, and put the car back together. It was getting late and I was getting tired, so kickdown waits until today. Then refill with fluid and let it run for a bit. Still on jackstands in case of shift adjustments

AHHH!!! That would sound bout right.. plus the horn wire is that dark green :) What's funny is.. with decades of mopars i don't think i ever had one with horns.... kinda cracked me up :) This one will get it's horns cleaned and put back in though..
Thanks.
 
Drove the Imperial all day on Saturday - cars & coffee, a drive around the lake, and ice cream for the lovely wife and I.

Finished up restoring the correct two-piece '66-only console (finally) on the Coronet, and need to do a minor repair on the '67-'70 console I had in it and prep it for sale.
 
This was a few days ago, prior to attending the WOMO meet.

Treated the Charger to some detailing of the 40+ year old paint and interior. A good soak of Meguiar's No. 7 followed by No. 26. Changed out a driver's side marker that has been bugging me for probably 25 years. NOS in stock. (in my hoard).

I went and checked out the rear end housing. And this evening before I came in, I thought I'd get the plate holder blasted for primer.
Little steps closer.
