Putting my babies to bed for the night...
Like a dumbass I waited until the hottest day of the year so far to polish my wheels. Turned out pretty good though. I need to put something on the polished aluminum to seal the metal? Before
And after
And after
64-D100-440 project. Started on the exhaust and ordered Dynomax Super turbos.
Butchering the floor out.
Looking Nice, must have access to an exhaust bending machine.
Picked up some new bias-ply tires 28/11-15s and 25/5-15's and Weld Wheels down at Jake's for some summer racing.
Oh ****! How did that picture get in there? Ah well, may as well fess up. Here's the wheels unpainted but mounted to get an idea of what they'll look like.
And the real thread for this story.

Good picture had me fooled. lol Looks like fun gotta show us the car when the wheels are on.
Thanks. Mandrel bent builders kit from Speedway. Hopefully the mufflers arrive tomorrow.
I yanked the engine out of my car tonight and it only took me 3 beer!

Added some "carbon fiber" film to my heater control bezel to (kind of) match my Classic Dash gauge panel.
Also waxed my valve covers before installing some Moroso Permalign gaskets.
That's the end of my Spring 2019 to-do list for the Duster. Nothing left to do but drive it now!

Yeah those Cherry Bombs by themselves were too loud out driving around. Ended up putting Resonators in the tail pipes along with the Cherry Bombs up front, and going straight out the back below the bumper with the exhaust system.
Set it up like Ma Mopar would do it, resonators in the tail pipes behind the mufflers.
Lots of twisted up exhaust pipe there for the Duals when they run the Dual Mufflers down the one side to get around the gas tank.
Sounds just great now, still know it's got a V8 in it . . .
Perfect looking Interior there, like the way you did your dash and gauges layout.

I know I'm right....
paste wax helps keep them clean, stuff just washes off.
I looked at the "grinding" rear brakes of my 2012 Grand Caravan. Pads were still 1/4" thick, no contact, no grooves in the rotor but I had a ~1mm lip where the pads stopped. Almost like the pads wore 1mm of iron off the rotors? So I ground the lip off with a flap wheel thinking that was making the noise and put new pads on. Wife says they still are audible so I ordered 2 new rotors from Rock. $12 each: they are $66 a piece locally! Ill get them Wed to install by friday for a 1900 mile road trip to Texas. Any chance I can compress the pistons without that special caliper piston screw thing? Just a hassle renting it again if I can compress the piston 2mm with something to make room for new rotor. Nice thing about the pad install, my boy did one side by himself along with a complete oil change! It was nice teaching him and the icing on the cake was when he asked me "Dad, how did you get so smart?" I told him if I didnt learn this stuff I couldn't drive.

I thought about that and even have some paste wax laying around. I had a couple of axle seals leaking and it made a mess of everything back there. All cleaned up now and ready to go. I might put some high temp black on the calipers.

Taped up the wiring in my dirty trunk. Took the family to Walmart and used up every square inch. Thought for sure I was going to wreck something.
Gorilla tape to the rescue.
Cleaned the car off and went to a cruise we hold each year for our engine builder/racing buddy who passed away from cancer 5 years ago. My friend had his freshly painted 1967 Dart GT Convertible there, and another buddy's 1967 Barracuda with a 512 stroker that was the last engine he built before he died.
The friend in the red Corvette surprised me with a sticker for my door mirror. I had admired it on his car and he ordered me one. It says "objects in the mirror are losing"
