Put on the new TTI exhaust system.  Lots of laying on my back, but the system is well put together and comes complete with everything you need.  I did find out that I have a 73-74 reverse rod, so I will need to get a 70-72 to clear the H-pipes.

Me either, but there is, the 73-4 is longer and more like a 7 laying on it side.

This last weekend I pulled the engine and transmission, pulled out most of the remaining interior trim, dashboard is unhooked but not out, I couldnt get it to clear the posts that the steering column mounts to.

Next weekend, Im pulling the steering column, removing the dash, and removing all of the wiring from the car.

Last weekend I took the Gran Coupe to the 25th Annual Mopars at Big Daddy Don Garlits, and came home with a 1st place in E-body Stock Plymouth. This weekend, I am taking the Gran Coupe to the Winter Park FL Concours show.  The weather has turned out to be really great - Highs should be in the mid-70's!

Don called me . He got mine out    :burnout:  and tanked it up with 93 octane non-ethanol. Put Sea Foam in the tank.  Gave him a bath. Got him all ready for winter storage for me.  :2thumbs:

Start the Cuda after 3.5 yrs, checked everything last night turned it over without the dist not hooked up to move some tran fluid into the TQ. Everything sounds good so add gas and "fire it up"

Weather is looking great on Sunday to take mine out for a rip! This time of the year you never know how many more times you have till the salt/snow comes.

friday morning i am going to rebuild the brakes on the rear with some new 7/8th wheel cylinders and new lines and shoes. then i am waiting semi patiently for my 10 inch wheels to show up so i can see if the 325 50's are gonna fit or not. i also have the joy? of pulling the dash on a 01 durango to replace the heater core.

Not mine and not an e-body, but putting the finishing touches on the 69 Road Runner I built for a local customer.  I had him bring it home a couple of weeks ago to find any "bugs" and now I have a short punch out list to work on for him.  This car was the biggest pile of excrement I've ever worked on.  It was so rusty, the rust had rust.  Amazing what a bunch of new parts and close to 1000 hours can do...
