Made some good progress on that list!  :ohyeah:
Drive it like you stole it . . . And they're CHASING you!


72 Challenger

I notice that take pictures for my internet forum friends is not on the list?

Someday I will have a J0b.

I haven't had much time for pictures - even slacked badly on video content for the YouTube channel I want to start...

Plus, the car won't look much different than it did last year - just lower.  All of the work I've been doing is underneath the skin, so to speak...

Rear suspension is installed but I need to fabricate longer arms for the level sensors so they can measure axle travel without being snapped off.
Need to run wires to the four wheel height sensors which will require drilling a small few holes into the body and installing grommets.
Need to finish four wires to the new fuse block I installed
Need to run a 6ga wire to the compressors for the air system from the starter relay to the tank in the trunk that houses the compressors
Need to install the driveshaft and HOPE it doesn't hit the body with the car fully lowered
Need to make a second trip for belts because the ones I bought yesterday - which I measured for - are too short
Need to get coolant hoses for the heater box and install
Need to install radiator
Need to install radiator hoses which have been sitting at the house for a week or so...
Need to add oil, trans fluid, and coolant
Need to bleed the new master cylinder, install, then bleed the brake system which is completely dry
Need to take apart the brake hubs, re-assemble with loc-tite per Wilwood instructions, grease bearings, install wheels spacers and mount wheels
Need to mount the last fender
Need to wire up headlights/high beams/signals and parking lights with the last fender on
Need to install front trim, bumpers, and grill pieces
Need to prime the new fuel line, and run last hose (with filter) to the fuel pump
Need to get engine started
and deal with any (hopefully minor) tuning issues.
Need to get the air-ride system online, calibrated, and set the ride-height levels
Need to add a condensate drain line for the air tank
Need to custom-build my new (paper filter) air cleaner

Must be a real "joy" working in that heat you have been getting.  :rebelflag"

There's still some stuff to do - gotta actually lower the car, run the air system through it's calibration sequence, and set the levels.  I gotta put the hood and front bumper on.  I've gotta glue a chunk of body filler back on that popped off the rocker panel (I'll have to fix that whole area at a later date and time!)  I've got some sort of weird electrical issue in that my parking lamps are blinking with my brake lights...  I still gotta try and build my air cleaner (or just put the stocker back on) and then get it aligned early next week.  It looks like I have a ton of time left for all this but we're out of town from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon...

I'm going to get her on the ground today and attempt to roll her out of where she's slumbered for the past 7 months...  I feel like there's still a ton of work to do...
