    just some shots.  I'm having a hard time not driving it everyday. I guess I should work on it soon.Atleast wipe it down good.  ::)Ya' can't drive 'em without getting 'em dirty. :nono:  I've got some things to do over winter... Making my list of projects while I'm driving it helps prioritize them. I've been working hard on the squeaks and rattles. It's as tight as it's ever been right now. Lot's of little things to keep me busy. 

    This thing can really tear up a canyon... yesterday was my first real go at it. I opened her up a bit... The aluminum heads were a good choice. A bit more horsepower  :icon16:   It's been a long time coming... Lot's of pre-runs made for a good first test up in the real stuff.  I LOVE IT !!   She's fast enough to scare you up there! But predictable enough to keep the confidence up!  Keep your foot in 'er!   :bigsmile:

    Yeah... Ahhh...   Actually I've put on more miles than that. Thought you guys would think I was nuts. :screwy: I am planning the Winter fun with the 'cuda. Gathering parts. Working alot. Just sold my '69 b'cuda for 3500 cash. Paid off the '73!!!!!!!!!!!!!  COMPLETELY!!!    So...   rear discs,Alum. radiator soon.New fuel/Brake lines.   I can't believe it's ALL mine!! :icon16:  I can't seem to stop touching it though. :1zhelp:  I tinker constantly. :working:  Then drive all over the place. This thing can fly up the canyon! WoW. Just starting to slide it alittle in the turns.  I LOVE IT!!  Sure do miss being around here more. Just can't seem to sit still. With the cold coming,I'm always on the go.   It will be time for another car soon...   Probably another round tailight 'cuda. Small block,Auto,A/C car. Looking to spend around 5K  for a project.No engine...No problem. Anything.  We "stole" my buddies '71 demon to clean it up for him. New quarter skins,paint,Black gut. He's freakn' out!!  Sure do like fixn' 'em up.   Going to start a Mopar shop....mayby call it "'cuda Bob's"    or Mile High Mopar or somethin' :clueless:   Well......Off to the junkyard....   Looking for an A body instrument cluster.  See Ya'   :wave:

    O.K...     I'm almost ready for paint on the Duster project. Going to wait for early Spring to shoot it.Since I do drive it in the wet stuff sometimes. Now I'm considering tearing into the 'cuda again. But I can't decide which way to go. Should I keep going on the mechanicals...  i.e.: Rear discs,Radiator,Fuel/Brake lines,ect..    or    Should I get it ready to repaint too?   It needs alot of work.New glass,patches on the doors,little stuff. I have the time now that it's Winter again.Having just done the Duster,I'm already in "sanding mode".   What do you think?

    Been playing around with my welder.    What do you think?  Some like it, Some don't    Anything I should consider? The mounting plates on the fenders are bolted through the braces underneath.  :dunno:   Got my camera going again too. Finally.

    I love the look, I just don't know how convenient you'll find it when you have to change plugs or adjust lifter lash.
