I have been cleaning and painting. Made a handle for installing the cam. Wrong color orange for this build so repainted the block too. Finally bolting some parts together. Ready to flip it over and start on the top half!

I'm having problems trying to figure out what car I rather have .
It lives another day in the shop.also ordered door and hood hinges (getting ready for paint)

Oh yeah and sent out the booster to be rebuilt.

 

[khryslerkid]

Made myself a cradle to sit it in. Will use it later on to store the original engine.

Now I need to check if the numbers hold out. Have to get some modeling clay. Also need to check valve springs on the heads I bought for right tension. Fingers crossed!

Yanked the power booster yesterday and sent it in for a rebuild, damn thing crapped out on me in the middle of the Woodward Dream Cruise last Saturday.
Those top bolts are harder to get to than I remember, I might have to pull the cluster to get them back on.

Gentlemen,
Went to a "resonably" local car show, about 25 miles away. The trip to / from destination was VERY hot but uneventual. Upon arrival in the town, I inquired as the location of the show. No one seemed to know; I inquired with the local police....answer..."the park". Being somewhat sarcastic, I told the officer, that they needed a sign with directional arrows and that the town was not the center of the universe and outsiders needed a little help. The response was: "HUUH".... Enough said....
Upon returning home and after a cool down, I pulled a couple of spark plugs to see how the engine was running...the trip was about 25 miles each way @ 3200 RPM. Every thing looked OK. Light tan color the entire insulator nose. I use Champion UJ-11G gapped at 0.032". BTW.. I use to use an MSD C6 system and have used for many years an OEM Prestolite dual point distributor with a Mopar coil.....no need for any fancy stuff...I can buzz the engine to 6800 RPM with out any point bounce or high speed miss....my opinion....its just like buying organic foods....you just pay more .....
Cheers,
RJ RENTON

Replaced the diaphragm in my Brunner compressor pressure switch, works fine now. Cut two rust spots out of the hood frame and welded in new metal, cut and welded in closeout panels on underside of hood frame. Grinding, cutting welding fixing.....yup, good day.

I happy to say my GTX is a pubic hair away from hitting the road again. For anyone that cares to remember I'm having it refreshed in my hometown of Minneapolis. Paint is done - color sanding and buffing is done. Just need to refit the chrome trim and emblems and she should be ready to go. I'll be going up,there in a couple of weeks to take possession. It's been awhile and I'm pretty stoked to get her back.

Have fun man, that's great. I hope that you have a real nice day of weather for it. Enjoy.

I looked at her lovingly and had me a couple jack and cokes...

 

[451Coronet]

Cleaned up power steering pump leak on garage floor. Haven't house trained it yet

 

[dieseldazzle]

Pulled the cover up and gave her a smack on the *** while the guy I sold my harley to for a tidy profit rolled off into the sunlight.

 

[gdrill]

Got another one off the trailer, onto the ground and movable.

I finished up my hood scoop mod this morning. It fits real nice too... no tension on the hood or the scoop, it just drops right on with no light leaks under the wall. I was going to use a thin piece of rubber or foam to make up for any minor fitment errors, but in the end it turned out so well, that won't be necessary.

what I did to the car today!

Finally got the car registered, took it for a drive to get gas. The 456s are a little much. First time this car has been registered since 1968!!

Wow, car looks great! Was it a race car? Please let us in on the story how it wasn't registered for all those years - it must have very low mileage...

 

[conv67bdere]

Got my new hood hinges delivered from Summit

Ordered these on my return trip from Canada - and the MoparFest - and got them delivered yesterday . . .
