Well lesssee.. This weekend..'70 R/T Challenger..pulled, disassembled and cleaned 8 3/4 chuck for re-gear, buttoned up 383 lower end (still in car) after re-ring (washed out new rings..last year), finishing up top end now. Next is Throwout bearing after it's running again.   DId front brakes and hub service plus tune up on wifee's new truck.. and I replaced the top tarp on my Cover It against bees, and wind. Why is it always windy when you build one of those things???

This week..Finish R/T, and start body part of job on '68 Barracuda..a TX9 black car too...ugh...

Mike, I really like the look you've made with that hood scoop and blackout treatment. I'm not normally a fan of the 6bbl scoops, but you make it look real aggressive but not overpowering. Nice job!

Completed the subframe connectors: seam sealer and flat black paint to match underside of car; screwed in clamps for 1/2 inch stainless fuel line.

Removed the tail housing on the 833 and replaced with the Gear Vendors tail housing.  Reordered the correct gear 3.55 for the Moser 60 - 3.08 gear was originally sent from Gear Vendors - they also sent wrong tranny kit - automatic versus manual.

Ordered hi torque starter from Summit on Tuesday, clutch from McLeod.
