It has been about 10 years since I have turned a wrench in anger. Thanks for all the help, tips, suggestions, scoldings and other help on here, I finally went out and pulled the cover off the 65. I even crawled under the rear, well I had to because the trunk was locked and I didn’t see the little slot to turn to unlock it at first. A few things, the Mopar guys who did my bodywork and paint did more than I thought. I knew they put new seals on my rear end and welded in my subs, but I seen new brake lines and hoses under there as well. Time to take stock of what I have and what I need. Snuggle Bunny and I will inventory the stack of boxes I have from NPD and find out how much of the original stuff I have in other boxes. Time to get moving. This will still probably be slow, but I’m feeling it. Thanks for the support, and even for the good natured shaming.

You should see it in the sun without a layer of dust and ladybug tracks on it.
We’d like to see it…if it really exists.

I quit working in the garage at 85* today. It's not worth it anymore.
Sometimes you just have to get your weight behind it and pound it in.

My OCD, wallet and wife won’t allow that. I do have less interior than you, though.
She won't allow you to be a Poser? Awesome, we'll see you at the track next year!!

My wife says I’m not allowed to talk to you anymore….
You know, that’s what Patrick’s wife said when I first started talking to him and look where we’re at :ROFLMAO:

I just want to know where my dual exhaust tip is. Someone’s wasting time messing with steering parts instead of exhaust parts.

Damn man, I’d have given you a helluva deal on my old solid cam, lifters and pushrods.
No. The engine has one now though :D

Ok, friend who is helping me press in the delalum bushings is going to lend me a bottle of gas. I’ll tack them on to grind my slots out and use gas to do the full welds. Will keep an eye out for deals on bottles so I can get my own for future use. PS… don’t show this post to my wife….
And you’re using the correct wire too?! I like .023” wire.
