Was able to buy a cowl trim piece that fits under the windshield for $10. It has fewer scratches than my original piece. Installed it this afternoon.

Thought I was done installing everything and had good flares and fittings but nooooooo. Ruined my engine bay paint so had to re-do that and start completely over. Bending and flaring your own brake lines is a pain.

Took the rat rod Charger to a car show for the first time. It was hard driving in the rain without the wipers working. Do not have to worry the paint is waxed nice or anything, just beat and drive

I still got the nice car in the garage that I waiting for items to be voluntered to be done. Its fun to know what problems and sequence the reassembly has to happen and gives me an idea how it goes back together. Was amazed at how nice the ride was and I remember from being a kid more body noise in the car there was. Now all i hear is exhaust noise coming out of the tail pipes. Got a grand total of 70 bucks in a complete exhaust by reusing one off a AZ car just had to have a few modifications done.

removed brake Drums to check for proper adjustment and some leak... couldn't find a leak there ( unless I'm blind ), but made a small adjustment. ( does really work the autoadjustement stuff ? ) By know only leak is a brake fluid dist block on switch area. Sound like I will need A NEW dist bloc/prop valve. But I'm afraid on get the repro piece around, because is the one I got around 3 years ago, and if went bad so soon is not a good piece.

Well I am just getting started: Took off bent and rusted rear bumper. I can see the original B5 blue paint. Definitely going back with this color. The driver's side looks pretty good: Unfortunately the passenger side suffered a serious blow many years ago and a new quarter was mig welded in. Deep bondo. In one photo you can see the magnet still sticks. I have a lot to do.
