Looking at it and that's about it.  It's been cold and wet here.  But, if the sun comes out like it's supposed to, she might get to stretch her legs.

Oh let me see :clueless: I tied the frames, installed tubs, ladder bars, 14x32 tires, a 456 dana, took the 4 spd out and put a 727 with brake and 5500 stall, and built a bigger engine , then put in a 6 point cage.


Then I woke up from my nap dream.   I am 330 miles from my car

 :roflsmiley:  I thought you were a busy little squirrel then I got to the dream part!  :smilielol:

Even in your dreams you're busier than I am!  Last dream I had of my car I was just driving it!  :faint:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

Bump, 'nother weekend already. We're headed out to a cruise/car show later tonight with the cars, I'll tweak the 318 a little bit this morning and clean it up. Headed to RDF's house for a little bit tomorrow morning to get his brakes squared away.

I got my Radiator Shroud from FBO and have to custom fit it to the setup I got. I have to cut the shroud to fit around the fan.  Also need to check my pinion angle.

To morrow I'm gonna change the gaskets on my Intake and on my valvecovers. The valvecovers are leaking crazy, so I got some steel reincforced rubber gaskets from Mopar. The ought to do the trick.

I bought a 96 Ford Ranger 4 banger a few weeks ago. Today after finishing welding and grinding the firewall on the Cuda, I pulled a few dents on the bed that were there from the previous owner. I used my friends weld stud gun he let borrow.

That thing works great. It pulled them out almost perfectly flush to where it was originally.
