What did you do to your Mopar today?

[biomedtechguy]

Lol...
Except I sold the steel Rallye wheels when I got my 8's and 9's X 17" Aluminum (alloy) Rallye wheels from Year One...

Finally finished up the front to rear brake line.
My stainless lines are only 10 footers so I had to use a coupling to join two of them.
Done it this way in the past with no issues.

Also installed the rear portion of the parking brake cables.
I ordered the stainless kit from Dante's and it arrived in a box from Inline Tube....go figure.

Thanks YY1,
The black sleeving I put on there was leftover as I put some over

the fuel line where it enteres the engine bay.
It's from DEI and its a heatproof sleeve.

I adapted a RetroSound D-412UK Dash Speaker into the dash of the '71. With the dash out of the car, there's no better time to do it.

I'm afraid to try the grill. That's at the body shop. I may bring it home tomorrow. I have to go up there and pick up my service manuals for the wiring diagrams anyway.

Back when they were new, I remember seeing a Fiji Blue Conquest TSi and my best friend and Mopar brother was with me. We called it "that blue" for a long time before we found out its official name.
As it turned out, the 89 Conquest TSi I wound up buying was a Fiji Blue car.
It's especially beautiful on a clear, sunny day. The color shifts quite a bit depending on angles, and that, to me, adds to the driving experience.

Oh, and driving one, especially tweaked a little or a lot, IS an "experience"!
One of my life's greatest drives, here's one of my videos on the Tail of the Dragon:
Shot from my Fiji car with a Fiji ahead, and a red 'quest in front and behind. MAN! what a day!!

Pulled the 440 out of storage and unwrapped it. Got all the parts out and lined up for assembly. Had to stop and order freeze plugs...damn it. Knew that I had forgotten something....
Going today to buy some tape that wont leave crap all over when peeled back off from masking up for block cleaning and painting coming up. Also after some cans of Hemi Orange Hi Temp paint.

Fitch, he says this system fits OEM dimensions so you can keep factory air breather.
