What did you do to your Mopar today?

[Budnicks]

Thanks. I also bought one of these a while ago, but it is just one single Bus line.....and I wanted to split the power as per the FSM. I have spent a lot of time looking for the right parts over the past year or so. I think what I have is as close as I will find without stumbling upon OE parts.

I'll post pics shortly of what I have so far. Right now it looks light a grenade went off in a bowl of spaghetti.

nice tighty/clean wiring job 'like normal' from you Roger

Thanks.

I'm getting closer now. Just need to rebuild the cluster.
Started by making some new insulators from a thin Formica sheet this evening.
Will cut the holes shortly for those and line up the gauges.

Looks like a work of art Roger

Fuel tank just arrived, waiting on other parts to start fuel system rebuild.

About an hour and a half of tedious masking, and two minutes of painting. One more bezel to mask and paint tomorrow.

Over our Canadian Thanksgiving weekend I finally had a chance to take my Mother In-Law out for a cruise in the Coronet....I'd promised her back around Mothers day that I would but weather, work, holidays and schedules never aligned to make it happen.






Beautiful day for October and unseasonably warm, went for a 30 min cruise out through the back roads....she was all smiles and grins after we got back!

Way to butter up your mother in law! Whats cooler than a ride in a b body convertible!

 

[dadsbee]

My Mother in Law would be a one way ride.....

I masked and painted the other taillight bezel today!

Finally was able to get primer down on the inside of the 62” Dart.

Gave the Wife's Formula S a good look over. I think I'm done on it's cleanup and correction! LOL

Absolutely zero metal work ever done on this car.

Heat riser even still works!

Wrong nut on the clutch fork rod!

Does need some bumper bracket bolts replaced with correct hardware, but short of that the car needs nothing... thank God!

Even has the distribution valve heat shield in place!

Past issue as I have the tank full and it's not weeping or leaking. Just need to clean up the stain.

Correct $$$$ Drivers side exhaust manifold.

Torque boxes even!

Factory 4 piston discs.

Regular nut vs a lock nut on the clutch fork.

 

[Pops1967GTX]

More parts are in almost ready

Looks like you got a great one! I'm a bit jealous. If I'd list my favorite Mopars it would be 70 Air Grabber Road Runner, 70 AAR 'Cuda, 67 GTX and 69 Barracuda.

Sweet car!

After cleaning up the shop some.....uh a lot, I opened the trunk of the Belvedere and promptly closed it. Geez, didn't know there was so much stuff in it! Wanted to get a measurement of the opening of the long lost spare tire well so I could cut some sheet metal to cover the opening. The original spare tire well was cut out many moons ago when the car was being built for a race car. Right now there's a piece of plywood covering that gaping hole so I could put stuff in the trunk but forgot how much was in there. Oh well, need to do more cleaning in the shop to move that stuff out and put it somewhere else.....and seems like it doesn't take too long for the car to turn into one big storage shelf!

Yep... just trying to make a point against all of these "my car won't start after it's parked for a week" posts. Just utter nonsense.....

Congrats on having such good, errr, whatever on not having issues with cars that have sat a bit....
Not sure why you're all het up about posting anything against the rest of us poor schlubs who don't have
the same good fortune, however.
Talk about nonsense....
You're bright enough to know that there's tons of different formulations of what passes for gasoline in all
parts of this world (last time I checked, over 50 in the continental US alone) and that different
carbs (and different model cars, for that matter) react differently to the overall CRAP gas we have today.

Fact remains that there's a whole lot of otherwise properly maintained and operational cars out in the world
that have to re-prime before they start. Consider yourself fortunate you're apparently not one of them.

Not a B-body, but still technically a Mopar...

Trans in my 06 wrangler has been making a (louder and louder) bearing growl, and there's a YUGE porcupine of metal shavings on the drain plug, so I finally got around to starting the swap. No lift in the garage , doing it all on my back on the floor (damn 8' ceilings) with jack stands.

Got it all apart, parts all swapped over, new trans with transfer attached is on the trans jack and ready to go up, and would have it back together already but for modifications along the way....getting parts to space the skid plate a half inch off the frame to help prevent rust on the frame rails, undercoating EVERYTHING under there to help it live longer (gotta let that crap dry before stabbing a transmission back in!)...I'm literally watching paint dry.

Tomorrow it goes back together.

Thanks Ed! Maybe I'll just stop posting, I could use the free time....

I'm not a mopar repairman, never was and it's too late now. I get a kick out of you and that fleet. Some of those pictures look like a 70's Chrysler dealership with all those cars in the air or parked all around. Don't ever stop posting, and as far as me working on mine, I changed the oil yesterday!!!!

 

[Outlawd]

Finally installed the wheel well trim, it's only been setting around for 5 years. Life gets busy, you all know how that goes...
