Nothing exciting. Was painting the brake calipers on my RAM and my valve covers were close by. Painting the engine black tomorrow along with the black intake and SS hardware. Should look good.
Over the weekend I kinda organized my parts so I can go through them one by one and refurbish them and reinstall them.
Got a new dremel and polishing kit for the trim and whatnot. ..
Table full of parts
Boxes and boxes of new parts....Edelbrock ProFlow 4, Gear Vendors Overdrive, radiator and fans....etc
I work long days....I'll get started Saturday

Nice stuff!! Feels so good when you have the parts and can just get working on it and YOU are the only limitation.
Way more simple than most as I wait on parts to start on front disc conversion.
Installed a shorter alternator belt and Accel metal fuel filter.

Got my engine in and running over the weekend. Waiting for some thick header flang gaskets. Once I get the exhaust leak taken care of, I will be driving my car to work everyday to break-in the motor.
Little wipe down for another cruise tomorrow!
End of the Corporate year today and great success for our group!
Going to cruise a bit tomorrow afternoon and enjoy the cooler weather, "Free A/C"! Then fill up with Non-E at some point. Do another show on Sunday with ODD times from 2-6 PM!
And just plain "Mopar" On!

Well, After nearly 4.5 hours of cruise time with an average of 55MPH, it was a good day! Did not check the mileage but do the math.
No Boulevard cruise from light to light but a good honest Run! Saw 100mph+, saw less than 55! I am catching up on that lost seat time and lovin it!
My only complaint is that my right shoulder hurts so much I can not assume my normal cruise position with my right arm on the top of the right low back bucket seat! Oh well maybe the new meds will help!

What's always fun is pulling in to the gas station in these old cars! Kroger Today!
Today this guy looks really hurried and backing up his Personnel Watercraft to the opposite side pump. I can hear him talking to himself and then say **** the fill is on the other side!
He hurried to pull out and change direction. Got re-oriented then started conversing with me. While doing so he did not pay attention and started pumping the wrong fuel into the PWC, and once again "****, wrong fuel".
He was wanting the same NON-E REC 90 fuel I was pumping into the fish! The pumps are the opposite left to right. It is sometimes comical how people re-act and forget their purpose when they run across one of us at the pump!

Outflogging the car trying to get rid of a launch hesitation that "appeared." Hard to do on the streets 'cause things happen in a hurry!! Loud red car with barely mufflers...
But I DO enjoy driving it all lit up at night!!

Didn't work on the car per se but started making a K frame/driveline dolly thing. Not done yet and kinda crude but should work.

Yesterday, I took a bunch of parts to the re-chrome guy ......costs are through the roof on re-chroming.
But, they'll look perfect again!
Both bumpers, hood inserts and grill pieces.

Troubleshooting the freshly re-built 1406 with my buddy and his dad. Apparently the floats are not "floating" causing a severe flooding issue. Amazon Prime to the rescue!

I know I'm right....
Put 4 black Enkies on the SC400 today for the college boys weekend home. The 93 OEM 9 spoke chrome plated AL's were rotting inside (plating was flaking off) and the bead wasnt holding so off they came. Did the entire R&R with hand tools and a bead breaker! Note to self: remove tire over the top of the rim, not the bottom! The first one took an hour wrestling with the tire irons trying to mount the thing, but we were doing it wrong for these rims . Lay the rim down face up and lube the tire bead, set tire down and just start walking on the bead and itll pop right on, use the irons for the last bit of oomf. Top bead of the tire is the same, just get one side into the small of the inner diameter and start pushing on the other sides while standing on the side in the small part. Use the irons for the last few inches. 3 and 4 literally took 10 minutes each. Must have them balanced though......Not a fun job but we both did it together and that was worth it. Like these but black.
