Dad’s 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340
So Tuesday was a wash with my son starting in a basketball league. Today was a wash because of the Band Extravaganza with the middle schools and high school. I love my kids, but a) I heard my son play last Thursday, and they played the same thing again, and b) my oldest daughter is in color guard with the marching band, and I've seen all that as well. I didn't need to see or hear it again... but I did... on my birthday... against my wishes. Anyway.
Today I did some cleaning and disassembly of wheel covers (not hubcaps @Alaskan_TA). Knocked a few minor dents out of the wheel covers. The centers will need restored (pitted pot metal), but the main covers are in good condition. I did get some sage advice that yes, the covers will fit on the 14" Rallye wheels I have provided I ditch the trim ring and center cap. I also cleaned (and cleaned, and cleaned) the interior panel for the passenger door. It is in really good shape and wont need to be replaced.
Next on the docket is getting some more filler on the quarter panel before the 7 day window closes on the epoxy. Then we will start dismantling the interior so we can a) clean it, and b) remove the quarter window glass. Probably no more spraying until spring.
