What did you do to your Mopar today?

I got the Ramcharger hood put on the 71 Charger R / T yesterday. Putting a hood on a 71 Charger by yourself is the equivalent of being a one legged man in an *** kicking contest and losing badly. Since I couldn't have anyone else give me a hand,I had to ask Jack to help me with the hood! I lubricated the hinges and installed them first, then I mounted the hood.

BIG difference, this is with the brake light on.
Raining now, will get a better rear view shot once I'm able.
Still have new Putco back up lights and amber turn signals on the way, this along with the harness from Crakedback makes all exterior lights better.
 
I cursed my Mopar today. I told it that it was an ugly pile of junk, and that it should just be put in a car crusher and put out of its misery. I also told it I made a big mistake buying its sorry *** and that it wasn't even worth 50 cents.. I HATED my Mopar today. That is what I did to my Mopar today.. And I hated the Borgeson door stop even more. That's right, the black thing that says Borgeson on it in the photos is for propping doors open, that's about all it is good for.

Very nice, they are pretty proud of those things..
 
Mounted the correct 71 gull wing instead of the 70 go wing.

I bought a new battery for one of the cars & put it in yesterday. That took all of 4 minutes, which just shows that I milked that job.
 
Finished getting the Charger ready for my body guy to pick it up in the morning. Drilled the emblem holes on the hood and mounted it for the ride. He has no work so it should be in paint in about 8 weeks. :praying:

Putco LED on drivers side, stock bulbs on the right.
I'll be able to see much better backing up now plus the LEDs give off far less heat (if any) than the stock bulbs.

Managed to score a new set of lenses and gaskets as well so it'll be brighter all around.

New hinges for the fiberglass hood.

And a new AC, trying for a new look under the hood but it may take some modification on the hood to fit properly.
Height should not be a problem... but we'll see.

Started assembling front suspension bits. These should be a fair bit stiffer than the old tie rods
