Put baffles in the valve covers to curb soaking the breather in oil.

Polished and cleaned up my hubcaps .
Gave them a new coat of paint around the rings and the Center Dodge emblem .
What a pain - painters have patience .
Thanks to a member here Oldbee for helping me out with sone caps at a very reasonable price as you know these caps are hard to find .

Since last I was here I installed a new upper dash pad and kick panel insulation and moved the under dash receiver to the glove box.

The best way to do the caps is polish the snot out of them then use acetone to clean where paint needs to be.

Don’t bother masking anything. Now go to your local hobby store and get some Testors model paint and pick up some paint dobbers, (it wicks up the paint because it’s a sponge tip) and use that to paint the areas that require paint. Now use the acetone to wipe the excess away. Your done!

have a 62 Fury that has not been out of the garage since 67. Walked around it 3 or 4 times today in the garage stared at the empty engine compartment for a while wondering if it will ever see the road again.

Ghostrider 67 · May 27, 2018

Since I was last here...a while ago...I have disassembled the 73 440 and cleaned up everything except the block and heads. Starting electrolysis tomorrow and we will see how that goes. I disassembled the 750 dual feed carb and cleaned the smack out of that. Bought a Comp bump stick and lifters, chrome dual feed fuel line w/ inline filter and pressure gauge, liquid filled, got a porting kit, Dremel tool, Angelucci Performance rear main seal body, cleaned and polished up the entire valve train, and bottom end. Also got a set of calipers for the front disc.

Been working on it for 2 years now. I want it to be a driver not a show car but did a full rotisserie work up epoxy and sealed. converted over to 4 wheel disk brakes, last week installed Borgeson power steering. Rebuilt a 65 727 so i could get rid of the trunnion and have modern day drive shaft. I have the 383 my dad put in it in 64. Its disassembled and ready for the machine shop. I have done it all myself except the media blasting.Three problems now, first there's never enough money, second there are no machine shops open in the Tampa St Pete area anymore and if they are they either have no idea about Mopars or will put me on a waiting list. Last is time and friends. when im home from work its hard to get motivate when i was younger friends would come over work on cars and drink beer. Now everyone's busy doing other crap. Its moving forward but not nearly as fast as i had originally thought or hoped.

On a thread today said that the 65 trans main shaft has a bump where yoke could bottom out. It had pictures.

Not really "to" but "for"...

Pressure washing two 22x40 double shop bays- ceiling to floor to get rid of grime and cobwebs dating from the 1970's. Then I get to move an interior wall, run 60A electrical service, relocate a sub-panel, and install lights.....then move all my shop equipment, and a few cars and parts over from the other side of the property.

Been waiting on these bays since 2012.

High enough to install a lift and deep enough to walk between car and wall on both ends!

I started the Cab swap! She may be a truck and from the 90s but she’s still one of my mopars!

bearman · May 28, 2018

1970RT · May 28, 2018

I’ve just been looking into that! I had the trans beefed up a few months before the floor or gave out so she’s ready to be turned under but I also can’t drop too much more dough into this thing lol looking at grinding The fuelplate down and maybe some injectors but all just speculation for now

What did you do to your Mopar today?
