Putting it up for sale  :'(

Can't have 3 awesome cars and nowhere to put them; and I can't save for a house deposit whilst registering, insuring and maintaining 2 cars plus building a 3rd. Need to sell the Chally so I can buy a house with a big shed, then I can buy a project Chally and build over a couple years  :thumbsup:

Sent my rear bumper out for re chroming. It's the OEM one my car came with.
Bumperettes were done already.

This place does really good chrome work so it should look deep when I get it back.

L/T: 3 weeks from now.

Just finished shining her up.  Going to take her to the Budweiser Plant car show in Merrimack NH tomorrow!

Weather looks to be great!

Wasn't a good day for me.

Lost a whole bunch of misc. stuff in a crate.
I think I left the tail gate open and the shell lid was down so I couldn't notice while driving.

A spray bomb blew up in my hands trying to take off the retard cap.

Firm feel sent me the wrong diameter spline shaft on my re built steering box. 

Parts I knew I had before (minor stuff) are MIA.

Front end suspension re assembly will be delayed until Firm Feel decides what they're going to do.

What a bummer Mike! We have all had days like that.

make up a list of what you lost, and I can see if I have anything to help you out.

Most of the stuff lost wasn't car parts thank god.

I worry I could've ruined somebody's day like mine was.
Maybe thats why I had such a bad day yesterday.

Things lost:

Some of the things lost: 2 fishing reels, Mopar used oil pump, old oil and filter in a gallon container. HF junk tools, rags, Equalizer,

At least there wasnt an open box of roofing nails.
That would have ruined a bunch of days  :bigsmile:
I started mine up and drove it, fueled it, and drove another ten miles or so to blow the dust off it, and then submitted a picture for car of the month.
Maybe September?  :picture:

Removing drum brakes from the Gran Coupe to prepare for discs. I painted the upper control arms and installed poly bushings. Waiting for paint to cure to put new ball joints in.

I finally got to drive my cuda for the first time this year.   Been totally busy with other stuff.  My right rear drum seems to be running a bit hot...not sure what's going on.  Other than that, I had a nice drive.
