Its been about 7 years since she last touched the ground. Put fresh tranny oil in the 4 spd , changed the oil to 10w40 and rolled it outside. Gonna give the motor a bath.Hoping to prime the oil pump and got some fresh hightest from shell. Gave the new interior panels from Roseville a good cleaning with Mothers.this weeks plan is to fire up the motor

Lol yeah still working out details. Yes I fixed the throttle situation. Definitely have a bit more go than before. But still sitting on only 5lbs of boost. Forcing myself not to break things before the August show. Couple more weeks.... BTW I did pull out the spring assortment today. Immediately after show, I will bump it up to 8ish lbs.
Had a little buddy checking my work and the car out today. After staring at me for a bit, he turned and stared at car for awhile also.

Took mom and grandaughter out for ice cream. That's getting to be a stupid price! The fellow ice cream folk seemed to really like the Challenger, and that Lunati cam got a lot of likes, too.  :bigthumb:

Minor progress, carpet mostly in/trimmed, dr.vent and e-brake assembly in. Tried doing more on the vintage air install, that's getting quite frustrating so I left it for now.

Trust me. If the was a G code with a long gone drivetrain, I'd be all about that. However, this thing is too intact, extremely low rust, and number matching. I can't bring myself to it. Still considering the ones that go under the fenders though.

I'm tailend Charlie in that trifecta and after a nice beer at a country brewery that Doug knew about, I headed back home thinking to avoid going back to Woodstock first. All went well and the gas was cheap in Delhi, but about 5 miles before Brantford it suddenly rained and I mean rained! Cars were pulled over and the 403 was going at first gear speed. I really don't want to deluge the car, but what can you do except thank God for Rainex and carry on? The rain stopped about 3-4 miles beyond Brantford and the car was pretty much dry by the time I got home. It's in the high 80's here and hopefully the old. soggy girl dries out quickly. Sheesh!  :console:

Working on replacing the heater core on my 71 Challenger convertible. Removed heater box on Saturday. Fitted new heater core to box today. Replacing heater box seals with DMT kit. No rush.

Im nearing my 88 day wait from Legendary Easter sale, for my rear seat covers. I decided to strip the rear frames and prep them ahead of time. A good thing to as the bottom frame will need sand blasting and paint job.

Started to install the steering column but forgot a part at home. Installed front and rear interior quarters, the door sill plates and mounted the wiring bulkhead.
