    Close to THE ROCK, 1970 R/T S/E Challenger, 8/13 update
    « on: September 11, 2006 - 06:51:53 PM »
    Ok . A place to update progress and such.  I have a web site....  http://www.papadaveonline.com/   My son does the updating and I pick the pics to send to him to post.  On this site I will post some of the pics that I may have a question  about. I have read a lot of the posts and know that there are a lot of you guys who are like me and want to do the very best to restore to close to show quality but are willing to settle for a great looking car to drive thru Sonic on Thursday night!!  We do a lot of the work in our garages and hope the wife will put up with the mess for a while.  I have the best wife!!!  I do try to straighten up once in a while and she is able to park her vehicle in too.  Anyway, over the next few days I will put on a few pics. In the meantime please look at the site.  I started in April of 2004.  Not progressing as fast  as I would like but when you have 3 grandaughters, 4 1/2, 4, and 2....Well you know....  By the way...........The Rock..........North Carolina Speedway...Where we no longer have any  races!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My site was updated yesterday....  http://www.papadaveonline.com/index.html . I ordered a couple more parts from Year One.  They should be here tomorrow. Then I can put the gas tank on, hook up the fuel and return line, install a filter (I think before the vapor seperator) and attempt to fire up the noise maker.  The last time I fired it up the neighbor ran out  of her house with a fire extinguisher........( It had not been cranked in a year....a little smoke).     More later, David :working:

    I see that you attended a car show in Myrtle Beach last March. I think that would be a great getaway for us Southerners. Is that an annual event, and do you know of a website?
    Thanks

    In addition...............The car as I bought it  setting in my garage and the other pic is an email pic that came from the previous owner that he found and sent.  There were some changes  top....stripes... and some other not so noticeable.
     I am sot sure when the picture was made when it had white on it.

    Hey, Dayley, I went to the Autofair. Lots of nice stuff there, but very little e-body material. I saw 3 cars (2 70 Challengers for show, 1 70 Challenger project) and 1 guy selling e-body parts.  I could be assembling a Mustang from scratch, OTOH  :eek7: Still, a lot of nice cars to walk around and see.

    I was disappointed at the size. They pitch it as being comprable to Carlisle, but the outer parking lots were pretty much just that, parking. I went to one that had a couple dozen vendors, but almost all of the action was in the infield.

    We have updated the site some. The fuel tank and etc.  I still have more pics to add  but I am making progress.  When you go to the auto parts store it seems you never get quite enough stuff.  I was short 2 clamps today.  So more pics by the end of the week.   David

    OK I am adding a request.  I need pics of  a 440 fuel line location from the vapor seperator up to the carb.  I put in 3/8" hose from the top of seperator up and over the distributor to the carb but I am having trouble  as it has become a pinched hose between the alternator and the wate pump.   Help.......what do I need?  Thanks in advance.  David

    Its me again.........I keep trying  to fugure out how to do certain things and then it just hits me.  I will post  pics tomorrow of the fuel line routing up by the alternator to the carb.  I was able to bend the 3/8" line in the configuration it needed to be (somewhat) to get from point A to point B.  I think it will work well.  David
