What did you do with your ebody/Mopar today?

[Topcat]

Spent a little time on my mufflers today.


I just tacked the pipe in there for now. I will cut the turndowns to length once I check how short they can go with the valance back on.

Looks familiar.

Finally nailed down a perfect F8 match with BCCC PPG Deltron line. This spray out card has 3 coats of base, 2 coats clear. Zooming in on the labeled pic shows it best as camera angle and light glare made it tough to get a good pic. All in all I'm ELATED! PPG had no formula for F8 in the Deltron line, only Omni and it wasn't even close, so cross reference wasn't possible. Our outstanding local PPG shop worked with me until perfection was met. Great people and Aaron refused to give up. What a hurdle!
For the record, I'm following the write up from @Cuda Cody to the letter as chemicals have changed completely since I painted cars in an autobody in the early 80's. I have to say I was at my wits end trying to get to this point.

^^^ My buddy in HS had a Cuda that color... it was a bitchin ride I was very envious when his dad gave the car to him. 

[Cuda Cody]

That looks perfect!  Nice job.

Nice! 
Here is the original paint in the door jam of my F8 70 Cuda
Only part of my car that has never been repainted.

Worked on adapting a jy tilt up ash tray to fit cell and wireless charger.
Down position for the "spirited" driving. Up for the
navigation. Will install into custom console being made.
The phone is an old one for demo. Turns out you cannot show correct phone when recording with said phone. Lol

That's a cool idea!

Nope, it went from there to a new place on Mopar Ave!
Been working in my best friends garage for 5 years now, he's got 2 Shelby GT500's.

My first Shaker Bubble had 2 sagging areas where the bolts go thru. After the engine fire, I decided to get another Shaker Bubble. I'm cutting, re shaping the low areas which I refer to as "Baddump" spots.

The Fiberglass kit I bought online was only 10 bucks. West System for Marine. 

The new one, the grilles didn't sit right, very good. The feet had gaps up to a 1/4 inch on some. 
I ended up having to build up the Bosses with Marine epoxy and re shape over them.

So now Shaker Bubble 2 (the new one) is on the car.
It's a Flat Black painted over Argent. Which many early 71' Shaker Bubbles came out like.

When Shaker Bubble 1 is ready for paint, I plan to paint it Argent Silver.

Son Nick came over and we pushed the Challenger into the middle of the garage and spent an hour fiddling with the hood/fender fit and finally just said FI and pulled the doors off again, so that I can block them out. Unfortunately, when I took a block of wood and a BFH to set in the bottom corner of the drivers door; just about the time I thought it was where I wanted it, I discovered that Nick'd left the 5- 10lb weights in that door and they'd made a couple of nice dents from the inside out, cracking the filler that I'd used when I welded on an extension to the bottom edge. So it's more grinding/filling in the future before we get the sanding blocks out. Now if I could just remember where I left my ambition......

[Chryco Psycho]

I know my ambition went down in proportion to the temp.
