What did you do to your Mopar today?

A RED letter day for me! Got her blasted yesterday and the rebuild starts...after I protect the bare, clean new metal. IMG_0791.JPG
 
I found the build sheet bolted to the floor of the car under the carpet with one of the bucket seat floor bolts going through the middle of it. Also took it for a short ride to the gas station. Pretty good day.

Yesterday, it was warm enough, about 55, so I was able to remove a little more undercoating & scale. Slow tedious stuff.

More of the same. Have the trunk area about ready to put the fuel tank back in.

Sliced off the portion that I needed, to fix the left corner, from the section I got from YY1 and trimmed and welded it together. Now both sides match.

My factory shifter was broken so I rigged this Hurst lever on it so it will work

Pulled the 440 out of my sons Aussie Valiant last night, has run 11.2 but that is just too slow for him :) Going to step up the cam to a Comp 650 I have and the 3500 converter is coming out for a new 5000.

Tonight working on a mates 440 / trick flow head build.


Might spend some time with the wife Friday night, but wait,,, I have a friend coming to visit for a few days :)

Getting ready for bodywork . . . stripping the panel down to bare metal . . .

Got most of the major metal work done on the car, now it's time to start on the bodywork . . . got this panel stripped down to bare metal, and I'm working on some of the welds to get them smooth, dilling in some pin holes that I'm finding, and hoping that it'll be smooth enough to aid in the bodywork . . .
