Pesky work is always getting in the way. But without it I can't afford to work on the car, what a conundrum haha. I am very excited to get it back into the assembly phase, that is where I am much more comfortable. I did a full teardown and refurb of the engine bay on my '59 Chevy and it was...

The good news is, I will ironically be replacing the brand new bushings when they get here. I have a set of poly ones on the shelf. Will definitely allow me to inspect them thoroughly during the process.

Someone needs to make it cooler here in FL, I swear. Anyway more updates! I pulled the hood off the car, as well as the hood hinges. Tons of fun doing that on your own! Incredible timing though, I found out that my new fiberglass six pack scoop hood was complete and ready to roll! I also...

More progress over the weekend. Pretty much no one in my area will press out bushings apparently, kind of a crazy gap in the market that I never expected to be an issue. The largest machine shop in town, who I've worked with several times for cylinder head work, apparently used to be the only...

Glad to hear it, because I just got the shipping confirmation haha.

Hm interesting, so all Chargers had a front sway bar from the factory? The red charger had the earlier clamp on style one in place still, so I did get to see what one of those looked like. I wasn't super thrilled with that design, is it possible to adapt to a later style one? I see they sell...

VICTORY. With a significant amount of heat and one last round of persuasion with a mini sledge the passenger LCA is now off. Definitely had corrosion in the socket binding it up. While I as feeling motivated, I also pulled the torsion bars and dash harness. It's in pretty good shape, but I...

So my original plan was to leverage the three day weekend to get the engine bay and floor painted, but that has been sunk by a tropical system bringing tons of rain and humidity. 80% humidity does not play well with paint, so looks like I have to push off another week or so on that. Instead I...

I think you're pretty much dead on, got one free and ended up managing to separate the K frame from the LCA on the other side so we are 90% of the way there. Going to take the spindle off to get as much load off as possible tonight and I bet it'll behave then. I have brand new bars on the...

Totally understand that! I am working on a deadline of October for this car to be road ready. I decided the only thing I will allow myself to hold off on doing is the interior if time is getting tight. Anything mechanical has to be 100%. Realizing I may be crazy as that's only three months...

Finally back from a long trip visiting my grandfather for his 90th birthday, and starting to get back after it! My goal coming into the weekend was to get the front end removed. Unfortunately I am battling against stuck torsion bars. I've read several threads on here and watched a bunch of...

Yes, these are currently for sale on my eBay as the easiest way to purchase them. One small caveat, I am out of town until 6/10 so the sales are paused until I get back. I'm not certain what the stock 68-70 wheel takes. If memory serves the ones I make are 1.5" diameter.

Definitely SOME kinda ride hahaha

Lovely! Nothing quite like a period correct car in a period correct photo haha.

Phone cameras are phenomenal these days, honestly that is why I stopped carrying my bulky DSLR camera around. The hassle of carrying it was not worth the difference in quality (as an amateur at least) as of about 4-5 years ago. I was specifically seeking the imperfect and nostalgic feel of...

I have just been using a super cheap Kodak Ektar H35, they are about $40 brand new and shoot in half frame so you get 72+ exposures out of a 36exp roll. I have a very tiny budget for this side hobby haha. Figured if I get through half a dozen rolls and am still really enjoying it, I might...

I WISH we still had these! Labs are few and far between now, but there are still some really good ones in operation.

The film lab provides developing and digital scanning as their basic service, then they offer prints, etc. if you so choose. It's a local(ish) film lab so I am happy to support them rather than ship the film out of state. Pretty simple process, and it's a refreshing exercise in patience in...

:lol:

I was going to carve some stone tablets, but they were a bit heavy to bring to the show haha. The camera is loaded up with some black and white film now for my upcoming trip to England/Ireland/Scotland, and I got my wife one with some color film in it so we can try both out. One day I hope to...
