Spare time...(laughing) Some new drums and a pair of used hubs and all is well... The new drums are nearly twice as thick where the wheel bolts on as the old ones... I didn't get another set of wheel spacers... For now I'll just run around without the Ansen center caps on the slots...

Thx Guys... It is a blast to run around in... People look at you like your nuts... I haven't had a 4 speed for 30 years or so... I've never had a big block and a 4 speed so I'm having a blast...

So I took it up to Jennerstown Pa. on Friday night for a benefit car show... Ran into Jim Kramer there with his 65 Hemi AWB Car... Place was packed... Sun was hot and so was all the blacktop... Took it to breakfast Saturday morning and back home... Thought I felt a small vibration coming...

Took the AWB car to Hagerstown for the Mopar show... Outside of put putting around the neighborhood it is the first time it was out... At 140 mile round trip I decided to trailer it... Seemed like a good reaction to it... Going to take it up to Jennerstown Pa. tomorrow...

Today it made its first movement under its own power in nearly 20 years... Granted I only pulled it out of the garage...turned it around and put it back in... Kinda sketchy moving it around with the seat on a couple 4x6's... Driveshaft was installed and I modified the rear spring perches to...

If your tag at one time said 3 door it is the one I saw at Mason Dixon about 11 years ago... It's a nice ride...

more pics... Last one is of the new front seats...

Among the things I was able to finish... I got the shifter boot and trim ring installed... Battery hold down and battery disconnect switch are finished... The front drag link and steering arms are painted and installed... Hurst line lock is wired up... Steering wheel is tight along with...

Thx guys... Still trying to complete a few things... The list I had of 50 some odd items is down to about 10... Since I have had to fabricate everything for this I don't know why I thought the 65 A 990 seats and factory SS seat brackets would work... They would be fine for Rico Abreu... I'm...

There has been some progress but since work picked up things aren't going as fast as usual on the car... I ordered a driveshaft and have it here to install... In case anyone's curious it ended up 32 3/4" long... I sent the car out and had it lettered... Finally decided on a name for it too...

I put the trim on my package try and installed them both at the same time...70 Satellite... As for the 65 the back glass is first and then the package tray...

I don't know how anyone with out the tools...time and talent to finish one themselves could afford to pay someone else to do everything... Mine strap me financially during a build and I do 90% of everything... Being upside down going in the door because you overpaid for junk doesn't help...

My project cars have an 80% finishing rate as of now... 70 Satellite took 3 years from 2007-2010 and have been driving it ever since... 69 Dart took 3 1/2 years from 2010 to 2014 and have been driving it ever since... 72 Duster took 2 1/2 years from 2016 to late 2018 and have been driving it...

Thx all... I ordered two kits from Allstate and they arrived today... Looks like everything I needed is in the kits...

My project went gangbusters for about 3 months with most everything falling into place... Lately it has been 1 step forward and 3 steps back... Only good thing about is I do still make forward progress here and there... Top picture is December 17th of 2023... Bottom picture is February 23rd...

I researched those two kits...then I may also need to add in the extra 4160 metering block and bowl gaskets... Definitely a little higher than I would have guessed...

The carbs I have seem to work really well so far but are leaking at a few different areas... I'd just as soon rebuild them with new kits but in researching it I'm not sure what I need to purchase... These carbs have the metering blocks installed in the secondary's and the longer fuel feed...

Had it running for a little while today... Holding about 75#'s of oil pressure... Probably should have let it warm up a little more...

I got the new alternator belt installed after the first one I bought was too short... Finished up 90% of the wiring... The other 10% is the line lock and the field wire for the alternator which I can do later... Headlights...tail lights...dome lights and gauge light wiring all works now...

Overkill would have been an AWB car on the Hauler too...
