Got pistons 1,3,5,7 in but I need to take 3 back out for a little more clearance between the 2 rods. And although my test fit of clearances using the stroker crank was okay with one piston in #1, I had to grind a little off the oil pickup boss to clear the rod. I guess I didn't have it pushed all the way to the front of the block.

compressor front seal was leaking. Replaced and recharged. A/C working again.
( A/C is important here, specially on rainy season to save from fog inside, and also for safety against thiefs when in transit )
Found the brakes fluid dist block switch was unpluged, maybe accidentally. Plugged back and found is turning on quite often. I'm having a leak MOSTLY SURE on master cilinder, front brakes deposit is getting lower. I have had hard times to get a PERFECT WORKING master cilinder. Changed seals a few times with same results and cilinders inside looks perfect.
I'm needing to change front shocks ( totally worn out ), LCA bushings, exhaust flange, I'm getting some weird noises at rear suspension, will need to replace the tranny housing, fan clutch... I hope to get someday a new condenser.
Some of that stuff is in Miami storaged, but I can't ship to Venezuela yet

Just bought a Ramcharger type powerbulge hood (squarish hole cutout of the middle) for the car. Now all I need is the Ramcharger door itself and the associated bits.
No more major body parts needed to make my '71 R/T Hemi clone! Woohoo!

I have been very busy to take pics, but will do soon. Need to be sanded again to make a good buffing and wax job. Door decal is not a great job either. Letters cut out is thicker than the other side, but, whateeeeever. Is a temporal job. Fender got also some "maps" due some bad finish bondo job down the paint. took yesterday on a small show: Found the Brakes master cilinder is perfect. I was getting a brake fluid fail reading on cluster because SOMEHOW, the driver side caliper wasn't working PARALLEL to rotor, was working some twisted getting maybe some leak on side of caliper piston seals, making in fact the pads are irregular worn so will need to be replaced. Found the rotor bearing was a little bit loosen so maybe that was the reason to that malfunctioning. Suddenly I heard a CLUNK coming from spindle. Maybe on that moment got a caliper working straight back.
