    Stripping the paint on the 70 and working on wiring on the 73 and getting it started :jumping:. Then trading places so I can get the 70 up on blocks to finish the stripping and remove the frontend k frame for rebuild.

     :wavingflag:waiting on a really big order from yearone.
    If it's nice, I might be priming and painting parts or starting some really intense prepwork!
    I might even start to get the e-brake cable hooked up again.
    More to come.

    My Dad (who is absolutely awesome) is swapping out the transmission for me on my Challenger this weekend up in Redding so that when I get up there next Wednesday I will be able to take it to Kool April Nites. I just hope this new one I bought doesn't give me any problems (keep your fingers crossed). It looks like I cut a seal on the one that is in there now when i did the rebuild.

    I currently work at a bus manufacturing plant . One of the guys from the paint shop is coming over to give me a price on finishing the body work then painting my Challenger . I'll be putting on all the chrome including the bumpers . I have most of the body work done already .(very little needed). Things are getting exciting now and I can't hardly wait . :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

    Plan A: Clean up the spaghetti under the hood.

    Plan B: Plan A plus clean the rear axle, paint and rework the rear springs with some super stock stuff.

    Since I don't have an E body...I'm gonna check out the body work my grandpa did on my Duster, put the new starter in, throw the seats back in and go drive hopefully.

    Today I changed the gear oil in the rear, found the cause of my non-working blower motor (a fuse), fixed the heat selector thingy, and cleaned my air filter.

    Not an e-body,but I stripped the rust off of the roof on the IrocR/T(crap primer and paint from the factory)and painted it yesterday and tried to get it to stay warm enough in my garage to get the paint to set.This is Spring?got down to 28 last night.This was a temp fix till I can afford to strip the whole car and paint.

      Got the garage all cleaned up from the usual winter clutter. Started block sanding the primer I put on last fall. Hope to have it in paint in a couple of months.
