What did you do with your ebody/Mopar today?

I was going to try Mickey Thompson S/R line but they are near 3 month backorder. Maybe next time around.

Did you check Summit out?

Summit had the fronts.. rears were sometime next month. I wanted to get them from a local dist. just in case there were issues. Some noted on the Summit reviews they would not balance or needed a lot of weight. I did not want to have to deal with returns or warranty issues. I'll roll these BFG's for a bit and try the MT's next time around.  Had a nail in one of the rear tires and really wanted it gone... tire was over 20 years old...

Fixed the front of the inner fender support. Cut out the cancer and bent a matching piece by hand. Was able to get the garage warm enough for the primer to stick.

Nice Job

Finally installed the rest of the new brake lines, valves, and test fit a master cylinder.

New Milodon HV water pump and HV EMP thermostat... never thought I'd pay new $40 for a thermostat.



Also got a great deal on some newer and higher volume SPAL 11" fans. They are usually listed between $180 and $210 each, picked them up for less than $130 each free shipping. The two SPAL fans currently installed are rated in the neighborhood of 1300 CFM each and have 5 flat paddle blades. Not having any cooling issues with them, temp sits parked at 180 even on the hottest days we had last summer. I'm hoping the new ones which are rated at 1600 CFM are maybe a bit more quiet as they have 7 curved blades. If not.. so be it.. same current draw as the older model. Will likely install tomorrow.

Shakedown run through Los Gatos up to Alice's. Ran great & no leaks.. so success! Was pretty chilly up there. Some poor guy on a Vespa got cold and tried to pull off Skyline onto a soft shoulder right in front of me... hit the front brake on the gravel and went flying. 

Vespa was scratched up pretty good but he was ok. Gave him a ride down to San Mateo.

@Scooter , what makes that tstat worth 40 bucks?

I'm led to believe a standard thermostat has a more difficult time overcoming the flow generated by a HV pump and these are designed to flow better overall.

Drove it Friday and threw the Hammer down really hard.
Probably one of the hardest since I owned it.

Those road tattoo's will be leaving some wondering,...WTH did that? 

Notice new Bubble number 2 on it now.

Not smart returning to the scene of the Crime.

Anyone leaving Gilroy heading South bound on Monterey Hwy,  PM me. I need a pic.

I'd be totally down for that. My one legger 2.76 rear end does not leave a tatoo very often though.

I'll leave you to do the heavy lifting.
