[422STROKER]

Looks great Tom... And I'd be laughing at you too  ...

Funny....LOL  At least She didn't bother me too much.  I'm getting Itchy Moper.

   The look on your face is perfect    Looks great!   

Yeah, I was about too....(it was the second time She opened the door and the last), but noticed the camera.LOL  I told Her that the fumes were no good for Her and the kids.  Keep the door shut...LOL

Tom

All I've done is scrape most of the grease out of the Bay and wipe it down so i don't get so greasy when I climb in there.LOL

[moper]

So the fumes are OK for you then?? Stop making excuses to keep them out... And replace the power steering hoses and the fuel filter!

Yeah, the PS hose is almost worn through on the Pressure side.

The fuel filter, I didn't even know it was there until I went to disconnect the fuel pump.LOL

Too cold to do anything today, it was 35 F in the garage.  I had shut the heat down the last time I was in there and it was 4 F when I woke up this morning.

Tom

Fumes what fumes.LOL  I did have the doors cracked open.

[moper]

Wuss.

Well, while i'm waiting for a few things to come in, I started on some stuff I wanted to try.

I got some spare Door Panel Inserts and Console top plate so I thought I could try matching my Carbon Fiber Shifter Handle.

I think it looks better than the worn out Woodgrain that was on there.LOL

Can't wait to see the bits fitted in the car.

[422STROKER]

I like it Tom.  

Thanks Mike!

:wow:Can't wait to see the bits fitted in the car.

Probably won't happen till the spring for the Door inserts.  Thanks!

I still got the original T-handle and Woodgrain for later either way.

Wow!  That carbon fiber looks great, Tom.   

Too bad they don't have a T/A style hood in carbon fiber.  That would look great on your car! 

[422STROKER]

Thanks SB72,
I bet I could order a sticker from one of the Ricers to cover the hood.  But that might be a bit too much rice.  I saw a couple "fake" CF hoods at the World of Wheels on Sunday.  Looks good on a Civic, don't know about a Challenger though.LOL


Tom

You could try it on your Spare hood and let us know how You made out though Super Blue!

Thanks hezzel!

[DAYLEY/CHALLENGER]

          Looks great................Will it match your interior when finished?

Thanks D/C,

I have the stuff you see that's it.  Just a bit different, no custom dash or anything like that.

You went to the World of Wheels?  I went on Sat with a few friends and my 7 y.o., Joshua.

Only one E-Body I could see, AAR Cuda, not to mention not that many Mopars.   Nice one but a few years ago there were Hemi cars here and there, several E-Bodies, Road Runners, Chargers...  I left there thinking it was a Mopar show, but not this year.... 

[422STROKER]

Well, a minor setback.

I decided to install my Russel Braided brake lines.  I never really noticed that when I had the Disk brakes put on, the mechanic rear hung the calipers.  This causes a problem with the brake line routing, so instead of just swapping the lines I decided to swap the spindles...LOL  Everything was going fine until I tried loosening the brake bleeder screw on the Passenger side.  It snapped off right inside the caliper.  I tried an EZ Out but that didn't work.  I drilled out the rest but my 5/16 tap doesn't seem to work right?  I can't screw the new bleeder in.  Try and find a caliper locally in stock on a Saturday after 12:00 UUGH.

Do they make something to fix this?(bleeder)

Tom

That's the back of my patch, I got to clean that up a bit.
