What did you do to your Mopar today?

[mmissile]

Media-blasted the lower 1/2 of my steering column, etch primed, painted the red area. Tomorrow or the next day...I'll do the black on the shaft and joint.

Is that the one that had a crash landing?

Yup. Nobody will ever know, to look at it.

I've been keeping myself busy over the past couple months cleaning & detailing the engine bay & interior. Just waiting for the radiator & a/c compressor to come back and to get the new upholstery on the rear seat & buddy seat. Check out the restored steering wheel....

Got my instrument cluster back from from AutoInstruments today. They did a great job and even polished the plastic lens for free. I did the quartz clock conversion and a solid state voltage limiter too. For some reason the after picture is a bit blurry, but it looks perfect in person.

Funny isn't it? back in those days , one of the first things we did with that steering wheel, was to replace it with a custom one. Now, we do whats neccessary to make the stock one look like new. Also now, my 68 Satty has the stock one in good condition - and I wouldn't think of going custom! ...........................MO

I am getting the charger prepped to be pulled from the rear garage (storage garage) to the work garage and vise versa put my 47 Buick in the storage garage . As I was approached yesterday about being on a up and coming TV show (sorry I signed papers saying I can say no more about said show) except it's going to be a redo of a fairly recent show that was on TV. With a certain big bald guy hosting it.... anyways I was told I needed a flashy fast mopar my club would sponsor me . So option one was the Richard petty built hell cat challenger witch is owned by a guy in my club but he's to rich and busy to bother with driving from one coast to another(hint) and asked if I would drive the kitty cat . My charger build would be ideal for this show. 340 4 speed good amount of power and mpg wilwood disc brakes upgraded suspension ect sounds like exactly what I was building this charger for . But I need to get the charger done first or I'll be driving a $120000 hell cat from the petty garage. Witch would be fine but I feel old iron would be better to see on t.v. then a sticker challenger . I'm extremely excited wish I can say more . I'm not sure how my name got to these people but they have been asking alot of ?'s about my driving ability s witch are extremely good /race car driver quality . No I'm not tooting my horn I've done alot of cone and drift style racing road course and off road rallye even . Of course drag too. So I feel confident . But I'm worried about the time frame as I'll be getting a back surgery soon I was told I have about a year and a half before we need the car and the driver ready for the preview recordings so I have time you all need to keep me motivated on my car as I really want to do it in my 72 rallye yes 800+ HP might be fun but eh a 500 HP charger should be more fun right ?
Anyways moving cars around in preparation for the chargers return to the restoration rack

Just like Ragu, "it's in there!"

 

[Brandy]

That looks great! I cant wait for the day when I have that picture in my garage to take.

 

[mmissile]

Painted the rest of the column, got a notch milled into my motor-plate to clear my NRC distributor, picked up some powder-coated parts............now gotta test-fit the plate, and assemble some column parts.

That notch isn't going to substantially weaken that thing is it?

I like the front plate/elephant ear design classy

 

[mmissile]

Weaken it? Not even remotely. It's WAY overkill to begin with. It's for the "cool" factor.

Got my delivery from MODERN MUSCLE EXTREME in 2 days, gotta wait a little while for street lynx for build time. But this oil pan is a work of art. Just flat out gorgeous.

 

[5.7 hemi]

The top of trunk is free of surface rust and I filled in some lie spits with metal to metal. Primer should happen tomorrow.
