Wow, beautiful weekend here in the Southwest, perfect for opening up the garage door, turning on tunes and working on the Challenger  :cooldancing:  What a weekend...found out the door handles I bought two years ago are for a Cuda and not a Challenger  >:( So much for trusting eBay vendors!  Got my entire exhaust system from the motor back hooked up and now see the final positioning of the exhaust tips in the valance.  Came out real nice  :smokin:  Finished hooking up the Z-bar linkage as well as the drive shaft too.  Got into the ugly chore of cleaning and buffing all the window and door molding. The old foam and tar seals on the door molding were a mess to clean up.  The moldng did buff up fairly well with the exception of the one that got wrapped around the buffing machine  :swear:  Oh well, at least it didn't take any flesh with it!  It's beyond repair so now it's time to search for a replacement.  Now, I really need to bite the bullet and get back to the wire job  :eek7:

Looking sweet, and you still have the original old clacker starter in place :22yikes:  and it fits with those pipes :2thumbs:

Yep, that starter still works fine (and I had it tested before the install).  I did need to do a bit of cold forging on one of the exhaust pipes to get them to fit around the starter, but it's all in.  :ylsuper:

PasiR, Don't have the formula at hand.  I had Loid's Rides here in Albuquerque do all the paint and body work and they matched the original PPG A4 color from their database.  They did an excellent job overall on the car, but it didn't come cheap!  :money:
