Cleaning up the starter cable and vacuum line routing...

Bought 9/10 gallons of 93 octane gas and added a quart can of Race Gas additive. Curious if there is any difference in how my 65 Dodge runs with it, 10.9 to compression with iron heads.

Been trying to find this replacement bushing for the E-brake cable at the back of the backing plate . . . and no luck . . .
- You can see that this one is split . . . and needs replacement . . .

SO what do you do whaen you can't find the parts that you need . . . You 3D Print yourself the parts . . .

Black on black is kinda hard to see, but this is the printer printing that replacement bushing . . .

Will add the finished product one the printing is completed . . .

Finished product UPDATE . . . Follow up to the 3D printing project . . .

This is a side by side of the old broken bushing and the new 3D printed bushing after installing it on the E-brake cable.

The Installation: It was a bit tight, but I'll take that over a bit loose and it took a bit to get it seated against the backing plate, but that's due to the new rubber being very fresh and new ( uh, just printed ).

End result - It's going to work perfectly for this application ! !

Installed the rear quarter-window fuzzies this morning. I don't know how to act with all new fuzzies and roof rail weatherstrip! Glass isn't in super great shape but, oh well it's rolled down most the time. Awesome to not hear it rattling when I'm driving, or when the door closes.

I got the rewiring under the hood all wrapped up after picking up two fusible links (and two spares) from NAPA. Even though I had some 14ga. fusible link wire, I like having the nice factory-crimped terminal with the molded rubber/plastic around it. I pretty much followed the MAD Electric diagram, but didn't splice the red battery and black from main splice wires together in the engine compartment. I gave each one its own fusible link. I reassembled the gauge cluster, but had to stop as I need to wait for some paint touchup around the cluster to dry before reinstalling it.

Trying to get the C pillar/back window corners sorted out. I see/saw that there were "inner" and "outer" panels, order some and they are inner (which I guess I need as well). Time to order some AMD stuff (again)

Had to run to my brothers to have him weld the nut to this bracket. It kept turning when I tightened it, so the rounded part wasn’t facing the trans housing. This was making it so it wouldn’t shift fully into park. I still may need to clearance the housing a bit too.

65hemi · Jul 8, 2019

The hemi came home. Put it back in next weekend.

mmissile · Jul 8, 2019

Replacing my front bumper, arms, and lower valance-insert on the 72 `cuda. It had 73-74 bumpers on it, and a faded/cracked insert. This can of worms is getting bigger............

Ghostrider 67 · Jul 8, 2019

finally corrected the placement of my shop compressor. Turned it to face out and added a drop line..

70chall440 · Jul 8, 2019

Mocked up my hemi

dadsbee · Jul 8, 2019

Just continuing to stone chip the wheel wells so the undercoating will stick!

68Moparmaniac · Jul 9, 2019

Sprayed the quarters with high build so I can work the last little scratches and wiggles before paint..
Now another round of blocking

71charger_fan · Jul 9, 2019

I was doing final checks on the circuits in the dashboard and realized my rear defogger switch was missing its "title lamp." So, again, I dug through my wiring graveyard and found one that had its wiring cut. So, I found a length of the correct size wire (wrong color though) with the proper plug molded onto it and spliced them together. I just had to clean some corrosion off the bulb base and it works good as new. I also gave up on figuring out where an orphan black-with-white tracer wire coming out of the wiper switch bundle is supposed to go and called M&H. Their tech line told me it was power to the heat. I checked it with a test light and it wasn't a live wire (I verified the fuses were good). The black-with-white tracer wire that provides power to the heater/AC fan is where it should be in the molded plug to the AC controls. It appears it's for cars without AC, so I just taped it off.
