What's left?  Remember it's never done, so if it can make the trip then DO IT!

Got the exhaust leak fixed.Headers are a pain! Engine is running much better             ( advanced the timing a bit) fires right up when you hit the key! I like the sound of the magnaflow system so far! My middle son Sam helped me bleed the brakes and install the seats, so it's almost ready for a spin! 
Lots of "tiding up" to do yet wire looms ,tune the carb, adjust the side windows, replace the rubber seals , etc  Then gotta get it appraised and insured. Still unsure about the condition of the tranny as the morron I bought it from had no kickdown linkage on it? The engine has 70 psi cold oil pressure! not much of a cam in it though. I had to pull the rad as it had a pin hole leak where I welded in a bung for the fan temp sensor. All welded back up just gotta install it again and check for leaks. The HHR fan works great and really moves  quite a bit of air!
All in all....a great day!

Yep my 3 sons want to be driven to and from school on the last day of school so I gotta get it done! LOL    Hey what do you have to do, costs etc.... to bring a car to Moparfest?  It needs a paint job bad but I'll drive around the rat rod Challenger the way it is for awhile.

Got the new wheel well mouldings installed, passenger side T/A stripe installed, N95 system all plumbed , dropped the tranny pan and changed the filter ( it was clean, no chunks!) Got the console, seats in place, steering wheel on, found out the horn relay was missing ( got a new one) got all the lights working, painted and undercoated the wheel wells, got the t/a style air cleaner all painted and mounted and the seal glued on, changed the rear wheel studs( too short for my rims) .
The trunk ( parts storage LOL) is finally getting somewhat empty!
Still have to adjust the windows and change the window seals, and tidy up some wiring , and change the front wheel studs ( waiting on parts)
