74 rallye Challenger

Totally good advice: For one thing 15 minutes is 15 minutes. I think the larger benefit though is just the feeling you are doing something. I've seen so many restos get stalled and never started, I believe it is just a state of mind.

Welcome aboard from yet another 74 owner. This place will help immensely. Also I understand delays. Have had mine since 83. Take the advice of rev... it does work. I have noted many times that I typically only get 15 minutes a day. Slow and steady still gets it done.

......yea and that 15 mins is spent looking for the Phillips screw driver you were just using yesterday

Thanks again for the welcome and the words of advice, I Know some of you from the other site,  Here is my first (dumb lol) question: when I removed the door panels years ago, I scrapped the underlayment/sound deadner under the panels, what is suitable as replacements? ive seen dyna-mat and regular foam like carpet underlayment.

I dynamat the doors "purists strike me down now".

Thanks for the reply, I've seen that several times and that's the way I've been leaning, here was my little project for this evening.....installing the seat covers on the drivers seat, I've come to the conclusion that I don't want to install interiors for a living

   I would rather build engines & ports heads & intakes

Finding the screw driver was Mondays time. Tuesday was spent finding my cleaning supplies to use on Wednesday.
Stated as a joke. However and unfortunately there is the underlying thruth to it.

I always wipe my tools and put everything away. A friend of mine drops it all where it is and just carries on the next time, I suppose he gets more done but I like my old habits.

Garage time yesterday, I installed the bumper fillers and put the back bumper on, it needs some adjusting. I also did the touch up on the textured argent around the trunk.Started to install the head liner but only got as far as hanging the bows. its very wrinkled and I think I have to do some cutting of the loops that hold the bows to smooth it out. I will post pics of the headliner later on today but slowly getting there.

I'm the same way. I like everything clean and in it's place when I'm done. But I will say I have done some serious late night thrashing to get a project done and can't find one of my five 1/2 wrenches anywhere. Walking around zoned out looking for it.

I mostly put things away. Exceptions are the immediate use tools for any given project. Those are kept in specific trays to keep them grouped.

And back to the actual thread. Glad you are making progress.
