Got off work around 5 pm on Friday. 4/26

Hurried up and pulled Cuda over to my friends shop near the Shark Tank. Go Sharks    :clapping:

Waited for them to break in a Chevy engine.  :popcorn:

My turn at 8 pm.

Pulled it on and had it in my car heading home by 10:30 pm.

Saturday 4/27. James and I (mainly James) re build the 833.

2 hours later, it's done. I drive it back to the shop and we start putting it in.
Done by 7 pm.

It feels terrific and is way more quieter than before.

Thrust washers and Counter shaft were the only noticeable signs of wear.

Replaced the stock (318 original) leaf springs in my Challenger. The car was sagging dramatically (to my taste of course). I purchased the McVeighs' ones with +2 over stock height over EBay (they have a global shipping service which deals with customs and shipping costs).

Really love the stance now, although i think over time, they'll sag a bit but i'm pretty happy with them...

If you are going to do body work and paint a car, you need a good compressor, right?  Finally scratched the itch and picked up this nice 5hp, 60gal, two-stage Curtis compressor.  At 16 sfm at 90psi it should have no problem keeping up with anything I task it with.
Made a little headway on mounting new seats too.

Looked at (yesterday) and planned on how to tackle this bumper.
Purposely purchased a "special" one that I can hack, pound, cut and weld to fit exactly the way I want it to.
Then chrome when fit.
Jack slots will be removed. Still on fence if I will have bolts showing or removed.

Swapped out the grungy looking incandescent bulb for an LED panel. I've grown to want to stray away from yellow lights on this car for some reason.  :idea:

No yellow? Will you be changing the paint color next? :pokeeye:

Just the lights.  :unitedstates:
Only poked the comment because I have been asked many times what color I will change it to when I paint. Many dislike the yellow. I prefer it.
I am mocking up some led strips for dash lighting. If it works as intended I will post it up.
