What did you do to your Mopar today?

Tried to fit a new air cleaner on

Had to get a shorty air cleaner, decided to go with the 14" air power top from summit along with a 2" element but the base they sold me on with a 3/4" rise didn't work. It sux cuz it will cost me as much as the product to send it back. now I have to return the base and try out the k&n dropped base hope it works, part of my problem is my stubbornness I want to use the Edelbrock thick heat dissipating carb gasket under my 800 so now I have to deal with this lol oh well:)
 
Got about half the car buffed after a full day of work and 3hrs on the road.
 
Got to tackle the lovely task of removing the remainder of the black tar goo in the rear window sill......Torch, puddy knife, razor, wire wheel.....beer..lol
 
Dreamed and planned about my return home to CA and this priject that awaits me....

I pulled the front brakes and UCAs yesterday. Decided to use new LBJs so I ordered those from Mancini today. Should have the new and improved big brakes and tubeular UCAs installed mid week next week.
 
Went to our monthly 'retired car guy' breakfast. Soooo... got the Super Bee out for the second day in a row. Life is good. Lots of old friends, lots of new friends.
 
Been busy past 2 days. Picked up where we left off last fall with body work to repaint my 71 RR. sanding and priming and sanding. Bought more sealer/primer and sand paper.

My neighbor is my body/paint mentor and says we should be ready to shoot paint this time next week. I think he is optimistic but he is a skilled and fast.
 
Took my 10 qt oil pan off and ordered a new 7 qt one from Milodon. The 10qt ha(d)s a 9" depth that caught the road for the last time.......
 
Plain and simple.................I drove it, and got many thumbs up. I also notice many people when they are behind you at a light will be snapping pics with there phone camera. LOL.
 
How do I attatch a picture from my computer?
 
First you need a photobucket account then you can upload your pictures to it and retrieve the "IMG CODE" then where you type (Message box) there is that yellow looking post card up top, paste it in there and then click ok to put into your message box. There may be another way but this is how i do it. Hope it helps..
 
I finished buffing the paint. It looks alot better. It will have to do til i can get it painted. Hopefully i can make the patch for the driver floor on saturday so i can get the motor back in. I want to drive it some before winter. I can always start the body work then...
 
Adjusted the fore/aft on the door glass.......Got the car preped to haul over to the shop to skim, onto blocking and then prime/paint.
 
3rd straight day workin on the 71 RR. Went to Cleveland's House of Kolors and got primer, hardener etc. More sanding and patching, a few minor dents taken out. Windshield out in one piece. Took pictures yesterday and will take more today.

I should start a build thread.

This is the second time the car is being rebuilt. Or so it seems as we dig deeper into it.

I think it was a rebuilt wreck 20 yrs ago.
Just guessin mind U.
