And this weekend I hope to finish hooking up the 1/2 and 3/8 fuel lines at the tank, assemble  the underhood AN lines, and install the Race Pump and regulator.  Then tighten every loose bolt and nut, start it up and scream.

There is a car show I might take the Challenger tomorrow. Next weekend I am taking the Challenger up to my parents house and getting some work done, new carpet redyeing the interior panels, replacing the speedometer gear, and some other stuff. Should be a fun time.

Bringing mine back home to it's warm garage.  Coolant only good to 7 degrees and it's only 17 out there tonight.  Will finish painting the pedal tractor I'm restoring for my grand daughter and then I won't have to be concerned w/overspray on the Cuda.

first snow has fallen last night... it`s just above freezing and windy  :eek4:  I hate winter....
I picked up the dash from storage yesterday and plan to put it in the car today so I can start designing and building a new floorconsole and dashcluster. 
I won`t be using the ralleydash and switches anymore and am thinking to go with these gauges;

It has been so long since I replied to this thread I forgot what I posted. This  weekend what I will be doing with my Challenger is thinking about it. Visualizing what it will look like when it finally gets color and finally gets rebuilt.   :drunk:

It was warm(er) today, so I took the Cuda out, washed it and went for a quick spin.  Nice to finally clean it up after 12+ years.

Sprecks,
Let me know if you need an extra hand this week.  I'm off Mon-Wed.  I have a few errands, but I can adjust.

Hey Brooks, I have to work all week and probably won't get much done to the car during the week, I really appreciate the offer though
Thank, Jay

Your car is looking great!

Almost finished this.  Needs a new axle.  An inch of it was cut off by a bad wheel, believe it or not!
