Took the Barracuda and went for coffee at the weekly Monday cars & coffee meet in my town.
Passenger side front wheel bearing started to make noise on the way home, and I could feel it in the steering wheel, gotta replace them.

I was out in the garage bending up some custom transmission lines for my A500 install. Waiting on a few fittings to finish them up.

Fun little project!

Why did you nail your workbench to the ceiling... you in Australia?  :D

I replaced all the o-rings in my PS unit and finally installed a phenolic spacer under my carb to keep the crap CA gas from boiling after shutdown. Worked well.

Lol. I have the worst time with pics!

Today I started pulling out some unused wiring and relays and planning out the switches for OD and Lock up.

^^^ This..

I've been busting my hump to get my Challenger to a point where I can let it be for a bit.

It's August... be Thanksgiving before you blink.

I'm trying to get the under hood & under car work knocked out.

Plan on opening up the doors and doing the glass guides, felts and rubber over the winter.

Yeah I know. Funds are holding me up at this point. Transmission is done. I need a flywheel, new pan , torque convertor, and then need to sort out a driveshaft.

Of course I still have to install and and hope to hell it works.

I hope to have it back on its wheels this month and drive it in the fall.

To be honest, there is not much going on around here, so no real motivation to get it done.

More wiring today. Tapped into the NSS to power The OD and LU. Still need to hook it up to toggle switches, but need the trans installed first.

I realized my steering wheel was on upside down so I had to drop the coloum, pull the coupling and rotate 180° not what I wanted to do but happy it was done

I went to my first cruise night tonight. It wasn't advertised as such, but everyone just showed up at the spot it usually is at.  Nice to see some familiar faces again!  :bradsthumb:

I took my car out yesterday afternoon for a 40 miles drive. On the way back, I was at the light waiting to go straight. A Ferrari 458 stopped at my left to get on to the freeway. He suddenly revved his engine to show how wonderful a Ferrari sound as the lights turned green. I immediately replied back by flooring the gas pedal and left two black stripes behind. If we are really at it, he likely shows me his tail lights.
