What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Took my back seat out of the Dart. Thought I did almost twenty years ago, I know I took the bottom out back then. I got a pleasant surprise, finding the broadcast sheet in the seat back! It's been patiently waiting for me for twenty years.

Looks fairly complete, I'll pull it apart tonight and see how much I have. One more for the paperwork file.

I also got some lower control arms with sway bar tabs in the mail today!
 
Stacy & I took the StreetVan down to Southern Minnesota to a Van-In show over the weekend. No A/c and it was blazing hot and humid so I improvised in order to have some creature comforts. LOL

Last year I had an LED light go out on my Intellitronix digital dash for my oil pressure. This year, two more went out.. so I never knew if it was 36, 56, or even 98 PSI. Then it just plain got stuck on the display and wouldn't adjust any LEDs.

The product has a lifetime warranty from Intellitronix but you need an RO number from them to send it in -- good luck! Took days to get someone to answer the phone to issue one. I resorted to complaining on their Facebook page before it was escalated. Plus side: The turn around time to repair was great (2 days) and they honored a 6 year old product which I am the second owner of.

Anyway, its back in the car and all systems go

Craigslist score.. new in box MP Magnum Valve covers with Mopar gaskets and grommet kit. I think I'll finally get these 10 bolt EngineQuest heads to quit leaking!

Received my new spoked 15" white Mooneyes steering wheel --looks much more period correct than the 13.5" eBay/tuner special. Should help with the manual steering also.

Finished the last priming and blocking on my scamp body today now ready for prep and paint.
 
I'm sure glad I pulled the motor in my car. I replaced these frost plugs that were seeping coolant but ready to let go all together!

Installed the new rear view mirror. I'll see how much I like it over the next few weeks. Took about twenty minutes and three bent drill bits. I also tore the headliner a bit, but since one of the brackets that secures the mirror in place holds the headliner down, AND since I will need a new headliner when I redo the interior, with Dynamat on the roof I figure it is a non-issue.

Here it is.
