What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Rebuilding an 833 for the 64 Val. Painted the case outside this morning before reassembly. Finally a decent day with temp going up to about 60.
My 2 drivers are down so need to get it running. 68 is getting a 5.7 and other things so that's gonna be awhile.

Removed the suspension and finally the k-frame last night for paint and detail work. Prepping for complete suspension and disc brake installation. Removed the gas tank and lines prepping for new tank and sending unit.

Last Saturday, I got my new door pad installed on the driver door. Took down the homemade POS "felt" one that was there. Thx to member @badlilred79 for selling me these Duster door pads (even though my car is a Demon). Plenty good for this car. Got the armrest bases from him too. I can't tell you how much better it looks!! Need to rebuild the door hinges and paint the inside of the doors but will do that this fall. At least now my wife says she'll ride in the car with these...well, after I install the one for the pass door!!

Refurbing all the guts of both doors on the Dart. If I ever remember how all this stuff goes back together it'll be a freaking miracle.

Laying out some paint options for the 72 Demon's hood. Think we're going to do something like this. The black is just tape to see what it would look like and the black will go all the way to the back of the hood. Will probably make the pinstripe 1/8" instead of the 1/4" shown.

Brought my heads in from the garage to clean off a little paint overspray and flash rust. After the .020 cut one head was 75 cc's and the other was 74. With the composite head gaskets that will put my static compression right at 8.5:1.

How about this style? That's paint. Not a decal. :)

I'll have to meet up with you sometime to see your car. You clearly do some great-looking work! I don't think we live all that far away from each other. Your hood looks great but my 72 is just not all that perfect if a car. A more simple stripe job will be fine.
Now my 71 Demon will be done properly for a 71. It has the twin scoops and the holes in the hood (covered by the tape in pic below). Layout for it looks something like this....

I'm on the east side of Detroit area. Your welcome to stop over one day. Just pm me.
 
Pulled the 318 and stashed it under the bench. Tore the top end off the donor 360. This will be a budget build of some new parts as well as some good used parts that I picked up in a truckload of stuff that was given to me last summer. I guess I should start a budget build thread.... stay tuned........
