Just got done installing the new rear bumper, brackets and guards.  Also fixed a thermostat housing leak.

I'm still waiting for my Hemi K member to arrive.

It shipped out on 3/2 from Wisconsin from U.S.P.S.

On March 10th, it finally made it to Des Moines, Iowa.
Maybe It'll arrive on April Fools.   :bricks1:

Went to our opening cruise night yesterday to start the weekend and am installing a new rubber bumper from Gene Gregory. Will be shopping for paint to prep the bumper and hopefully finish it before some of the big car shows start.

 Cleaning out the insides of my seat tracks.  I have to replace a few missing ball bearings, too.

Well look what just showed up. My Hemi K member.

Good bye Schumacher mounts.   :wave:

Totally surprised it came in today. I anticipated at least late next week.
Sending out to Powder coat beginning of the week.

Cute, I like the Terlingua sticker on the Cobra.  :thumbsup:
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.

Nice B-25's!! As for me, just another 5 hrs welding/grinding on the torque boxes and subframe connectors. It's endless it seems.  :(

Took car for a run last night to a local diner, met a guy with a 72 Roadrunner clone 400CI 4 speed. When i pulled up my engine had developed a ticking noise, not an internal tick. it was coming from my alternator, great! alternator bearing has crapped the bed,,,,,, bulled the belt off to check how bad it was, grabbed the pully, gave it a wobble,,,,,,,, no movement in the bearing, just the whole back housing!!!!! damn three small long bolts that hold the body togeather had come loose,,, lots of loose! tightened them up,, GTG again.

FY1Cuda & 4speedfish came over to help me yank the engine out.

Manifold gaskets were all dried up and leaking. (Fel-Pro's)
Tip of the exhaust manifold flange has a small chip to get repaired.
Freshen up the engine while it's out too.

And the main reason: Replace the K member.
Just got it back from the Powder coater.
