Puttied up and boarded out the nicks and dents in the trunk floor, re-epoxied it and finished the 4th tube of sealer off going over every GD seam there is on the GD thing! Hopefully, I'll never have to deal with the rot caused between any two pieces of metal that came together in this car again. Then, I cut out the front, bottom of my nice new right side AMD 1/4 panel to get rid of the Frankenstein repair necessitated by the way I had to crank it to get it to fit. I could've mudded it up, but it's MY car and this is the way I want to go. Grandaughter showed up, so I hung up the panel cutter and slitter for another day. Please God!  :pullinghair:

Went for an alignment before a week, i did most of the work because i only knew what specs i wanted, just had a kid working there, to tell me the how the specs were changing because i couldn't see while turning the UCA bolts, a little frustrating job, but these are the specs:

Camber : Left : -1.00   Right : -1.00
Caster : Left : +1.40   Right : +1.30 (Bolts fully turned)
Toe-in : 3/32''

Think this weekend I'll be spreading mouse deterrent in the car. Irish spring soap, bounce sheets, and traps on the floor underneath.
Snowed yesterday so probably no opportunity to drive it again until April/May 2016  :crying:

I tried that one year in my Buick, the mice ate the Irish spring soap and left little green terds all around the car.  :sly:
I'm running out of things to do with my car. I still haven't installed the front headlight relay set up I got from crackedback yet....... Yesterday I helped a buddy install new front end parts in his 68 Cuda  and might go help another buddy assemble his 71 Challenger that was freshly painted.  Glad to have other Mopar friends nearby to help and give me something to do as it's going to be a long winter otherwise!

Took out the 318 yesterday to freshen up the engine bay before dropping in the 360!

 Tucked it away for the upcoming winter. Hopefully she gets to see a LOT more daylight next year.

Cut the rest of the kief off for the 1/4 panel repair and found some thin cardboard and made a pattern, then cut and bent the patch and trimmed it to fit. Got the zinc primer on her and mig'ged up a few holes too. Ready to weld it in and hopefully, that should be pretty much it for metal repalcement- please God! Murray, meanwhile, was swanning around sunny Stratford at a swap meet! Waaaa!  :cheers:

New axles with green bearings installed. Going nuts trying to find upper rad hose for 340 six pack.  :eek4:

There was a dragster for sale but I didn't have $60,000 in my pocket.  :walkaway:
