What did you do to your Mopar today?

SacAutoramaFeb2014 703.jpg Drove back to San Jose from Sacramento via the Delta.
 
Trying to figure out the hydraulic clutch addition into my automatic car . . .

Trying to convert my automatic 1967 Belvedere Convertible from an automatic to a manual - with a hydraulic clutch installation . . .

This is what I've got . . . now to figure out the rest of the madness . . .

The linkages don't quite line up . . . still trying to get my homework done on this . . .
 
I pulled a semi out of a snowbank with my Ram. Performance-wise, that's about as good as it gets this time of year around here.
 
Yanked out the gas tank. Gonna do an Eastwood tank sealer treatment on it. Should be some heavy fumes on this project.
 
Messed with the grille all weekend. There are some issues with the turn signals that are keeping me from putting the valance back on, and some minor fitment/adjustment issues..but I'm pretty happy with it and now the headlight doors actually work.

Coolant and brake fluid change at Ditos Speed Shop in South San Francisco.
 
Removed window trim rear bumper and deck lid from my 73 Charger. Rear bumper needs re-plating and I have just found that the right side tail light housing has a rotted out lamp holder (Grrrr). Ouch that is gonna cost.

Got my QA1 tubular K member & my new SPC fully adjustable on the car Upper-Control arms, both from Summit Racing, next day for the Control Arms took 3 days after ordering the K-Member, finally have most everything to finish the front suspension & brakes at-least... I'll have a bunch of 1968 RR original stock suspension, upper & lower CA's, 11" drum front brakes with no spindles & org. k-member & strut-rods stuff available, also some new Energy Poly Bushings & O/S aluminum Strut Rods, all still in the original packaging/all never installed {had them stored for a couple years now}, I also have a set of new still in the box QA1 {formerly Capps Automotive}/Mopar Performance Adjustable tubular upper control arms {top photo} that I will sell too... I was going to give them to my nephew, for work around my house, but he's reneged on his end of the deal, so I'm going to sell the stuff now... It will be a busy spring I hope... Now I just need to make the time & actually do it, been running all over dealing with pops & his health issues, I need some me time, out in the garage...
