Andrrrew 01-23-2010, 01:58 PM Well. It was warm enough up here for me to get outside and change the oil in my daily driver today. While I was out there, I figured I'd better get the '74 Satellite running for a little while, to juice up the battery, keep the fuel in the carb fresh, and keep everything oiled.
While I was waiting for that to happen, I also tightened the alternator belt and pulled the damaged headlight basket off the front of the car.
Might not sound like much, but it's the first time I've turned a wrench on one of these cars since everything went so horribly wrong in October of 2007. I mean aside from borrowing the batteries or re-filling the tires with air.
It was a good day.
Just sayin'. :)
moparstuart 01-23-2010, 02:01 PM awesome nothing like getting to turn some wrenches on your baby
I may go start mine up and pull it out

HitIt 01-23-2010, 08:25 PM I installed new carpet in mine, put the back bumper on and bled the brakes. It was a good day I can't wait until it runs though.

Andrrrew 02-01-2010, 03:49 PM I'm gettin' positive vibes about the upcoming car season... good news for me, since my Mopar situation has been a complete cluster-foul-up for the last couple of years (as I may have mentioned).
'Course, that means I've got to find a way to make them fit in my ridiculously crazy schedule without taking over my entire life... I'm a musician, too (not in a small way either)--and I've got a day job ('course). Not sure how it's all going to fit. I may have to start scheduling my summer weekends now, while I'm still thinking clearly.
Station wagons are a drug, I tell you. A drug.

rp23g7 02-10-2010, 08:03 AM I should get my glove box catch sometime this week, woo hoo. Yeah, its the little things.
Gonna order my electronic ignition and my weather stripping here too next week YAY. Then ummm, Super Bee tire valve caps, Woo hoo, no more skull theme.
Anyone want a Skull gear shift knob or skull tire valve caps?
Oh, and my grill and trunk lid Bee's too.
You all know i am making a clone Bee. On a real 69 Super Bee, on the passenger side dash, above the glove box, does it have Super Bee in script? Mine says Coronet 440, its actually part of the trim instead of pressed in script.
