    Got the red paint on the brake drums.  Really love the way it makes the roadwheels pop!



    I need some better lug nuts.  I bought Dorman parts from Rock Auto about a year and a half ago, and the plating is already flaking off.  What's the best lug nut for the money?

    Someone on the board recommended Resto Rick.  I used the paint he offers:

    http://www.restorick.com/proddetail.asp?prod=BDrumPaint

    It's $17 + $10 shipping (at least to NH) for 1/8 pint.  That was more than enough to do 2 drums with 2 coats.

    Installing an electric trunk release. Bought it off ebay. Bolts right up where the old release sits and is 100% stock Mopar. Will be a nice addition. I'm going to put a button in the glove box, and one inside the center console. I may even put a button inside the trunk in case I get kidnapped and the perps stuff me in the trunk - I will have a way out! lol.  :bananasmi

    I finally got my 'Cuda started and drove about a mile down the road, but the trans is slipping and I have a leak in one tire.  I need to get some stuff done before shows start next month.

    Great weather Saturday, had Gran Cpe Vert  out.
     Driver door wouldn't lock, removed panel and discovered rod to lock
    door missing.  Have spares rods and after a lot of skinned arms and   :swear: got rod in place.  Lubricated the power window glides.
    Feel sorry for the people that had tornado's and storms. 

    Just thought I would add this today, Monday.
    Finally got the paint shop after a yr to paint the trunk lid and surrounding deck to match for my Luggage Rack.

    Replaced the good for nothing Dorman lug nuts  :pullinghair: that were flaking and peeling after less than a year.  :bricks1:  Put on McGard lug nuts that are guaranteed for life, and made in the USA  :wavingflag:

    Then put about 15 miles on it, including a trip to the Goldenrod Ice Cream Shop....   :cooldancing:
