    out of hibernation
    « on: March 03, 2007 - 04:25:04 PM »
    So it warmed up a bit here in Md and I got a chance to take the cuda out for a spin today. Its been a while that s for sure. I went by speed unlimited and picked up a new optima red top battery, stuck it in and fired it up.  Felt great to get out with the windows down and smell some exhaust.

    I got mine started today too, but didn't get a chance to drive it.  I had to go with my wife to buy new kitchen appliances.  $3500 that could have gone towards my cars. :swear:  But I gotta keep her happy. :bigsmile:

    I went to my favorite local auto parts store to get some stuff for my challenger. I remembered the gear oil, but forgot to get a new gasket for the 8 3/4. :banghead: :banghead: So I have to go back, and then I still have to put the dash back together ( I removed the 71 rallye gauges and am going to install correct 72-74 rallye gauges), and I have to reinstall the front carb. Maybe I will get the car back together for next weekend.
