I was able to get a deal on some Weld Magnum 2.0 wheels. Mocked them up. I am still undecided if I like my original 2 piece Magnum 2.0 wheels or the newer 1 piece wheels better?

Personally I like your original Magnum 2.0 wheels. The Weld Magnum 2.0 look to "modern" for a classic car, but that's just me. :alan2cents:

I agree. Those wheels don't look right on a classic.

Went to my garage today, to start cleaning up, organise and tear down the next wall for access to the other room so I get some more space.
I turned on the lights, looked at the mess for a while, took this picture, went back home, decided to start next week.....
I am a master of procrastination.

I tried my hand and creating a 1/18 scale version of my car. Today I assembled the rims and tried them on for a test fit.

Wow Brad, you are one talented guy. Great job!! Are you making it from a model kit or from a die cast?

Put my big box delivery away for future plans.4 years + without any heater installed is about to end.

I borrowed a buddys stainless polishing/buffing stuff. Wow what a difference. Sure is rewarding the difference. First time trying this. Spent about 4 hours today. Just doing the front/rear window trim. I have 2 pieces left to do tomorrow.
The Challenger left for the paint shop last Wednesday so taking advantage of an empty garage to clean up what I can so when it comes back (April?) it should make for a quick assembly.
First time since I have lived here that the garage had been empty! 27 years, kinda weird!

If it's the reverse shifter shaft....I have some bad news for you........

Well it's not "my" Mopar but we rented a Challenger so it's mine for a week. This is the road we drove for over 10 miles today on our way to Jerome, AZ. Such a fun drive!

Drove my Challenger to the monthly cruise-in at MoJo's grille.   About 125 cars showed up and the weather was sunny and in the mid 50's...great time.

Well no going back now, just received a couple pictures from the body shop. They started on it right away which is nice. The passenger door received some parking lot battle damage  at some point before I owned it. I knew about it and pointed it out to the body shop asking if they could do a better job and to weld up the holes drilled from the dent puller. As far as I know thats the only damages other than the minor fender bender that was the cause of it being at the body shop in the first place. Will be nice to get rid of all the original burnt orange as who ever painted the car sublime did a horrible job and never did the jams or under the trunk lid. Just rattle can black....
