What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

Today, I looked at my Belvedere.Thinking I should at least start it and drive it around for a bit.That's about it:(
 
Made a quick replacement for a crumbling glove box liner. It'll do until I can bother to get something better.

Completed the dash install and got the driver's seat in.

I came up short on a couple of fuses, but initial check is headlight/tail lights are working. Didn't have 2A or 7.5A fuses Should get them by tomorrow afternoon.

What I did this week on my 74 Duster project. A new battery, tracked down a short that killed the old one. Hooked up the electric choke and fixed the finicky fast idle cam adjustment on my carb. Then fiddled with the timing and hooked up a vacuum hose. Now the car starts and runs much better. This morning I connected some hoses to the heater and got that working. Now I can start it, go inside and let it get nice and toasty, on its own instead of sitting there freezing my nuts off with my foot on the gas waiting for it to warm up.
 
My buddy is in town visiting family for Christmas, so we took the Duster down to the local watering hole. Even got rock star parking.

Can you share rear wheel specs? 15x8? Backspace? They look great! Thank you.

They are 15X9 with 4' bs. I found them on Marketplace. Someone had them made for their B body but unfortunately I need another inch or so of bs. I'm gonna run them as is for now, and when it's time for new tires I'll have the backspace set exactly by Weldcraft Wheels
