Removed the old worn out axle bearings.

Made some good progress today.  Pressed the new bearings on the rear axles, then installed the backing plates and axles, then the rear brake lines and rear brakes (except the parking brake for now).  Then put on the drums and wheels.  Filled the differential with gear oil and its finally sitting on the rear suspension.  Tomorrow I'll start the front...

Sorry I haven't posted in a bit on this.   Just got the car back from the painter this past weekend. 

Other than that I've just been accumulating more parts.  I'll now be getting back to it and posting more progress pics.

So, I know. This topic has come up on more than once but I am looking for the correct engine paint code for the engine in a 1970 Challenger T/A 340 6 pak. I looked and looked but could not find anything in the forum. Thanks!

Car is now out of the trailer and back in my garage.   Let the build continue!
