working on my brakes replacing some of the hardware, replacing the last of my old fuel lines, installing a new headlight dimmer switch, and jury rigging an old ford taurus radio into my dash since there's not a compatible mopar radio for under $50 in my area for some reason.

Finished detailing the lower edge of the '82 body where someone mis-located the jack and apparently used the lower lip to lift the car in the front, instead of the factory jack point. Some minor lip-bending with the needlenose pliers and a little paint and it is good as new.

The jack points are all solid and undamaged, but someone years ago must have not really cared or was in too much of a hurry.

You know it is a slow spring in Illinois when people lay on the ground studying the lower edges of a K car!!

I have been detailing the interior of my new 85 LeBaron Turbo Coupe and have begun the same in the engine compartment. I'll be posting some pictures asap.

I'm at work, have to hang out late while Chris dyno tunes a BMW drift car putting out over 600 HP. It's pretty freakin' loud right now. Did a little work to the pit scooter also.

Hey Everybody!! I may do an oil change this weekend coming up, depending on the weather. i think the old dodge is due for an oil change. Still trying to get the money together for a new top and eventually get the Dodge painted as well. Just got to do one thing at a time. Other than that it runs everyday, seems like my turbo has some lag, but when the car warms up a bit it goes away, i hate when i'm pulling out in traffic, takes a min to pic up and then i feel a boost of power lol. What is everybody else been up to??

I am prepping my woody for the Chrysler Meet in Los Angeles this weekend. An oil change and new motor mounts. The poor things are 29 years old and tired. I have been feeling it when I shift out of park into drive or reverse. Then a wash, vacuum and detail and she is ready to go. :D
