Got out the hammers and straightened the front and rear valances, then sandblasted them. Set up saw horses in the basement since it's too cold to do bodywork outdoors. Took steering column out and disassembled it to install the quick release for the steering wheel .

Re: "What have you done to your Charger lately?"well I HAVE DONE a new dent on a molding, this time the right side rear wheel molding. Now I'm even on damaged wheel moldings ( both rears )... now nosbill ( bradsnosparts ) looks a better option getting both ( but where is the money )

. Set up saw horses in the basement since it's too cold to do bodywork outdoors. I can completely identify with that Ray....back in early September, when we were averaging 99 to 102 degrees outside, I set up a small table in one of the spare bedrooms, and rebuilt the carburetor from my little Dodge Colt, "Wilbur", AND the starter from the black SE.... multi-tasking in 72 degree comfort !! ;D

Got the quick release gear welded to the steering shaft. Had to turn the top half of the shaft down a few thousandths so the upper column parts can be slipped on from the bottom of the shaft for re-assembly.

Got destroyed ( and I really meant DESTROYED ) the outer rotor bearing, driver side. will be working on replace all 4 today.
replaced the ECU module... dunno if the problem I has been getting with the ignition, is really the ECU or what else... next step is replace the Coil, because problem does look still present.
at the time I replace the rotor bearings will work on replace also strut rod isolators, sway bar rods isolators, and swaybar to strut bushing and my new KYB GR2s shocks. ( if I have the time )

Rebuilt carb installed $50.00 ebay grab, new points + condensor, spark plugs, battery, starter, battery cables. Still need a gas tank and to go through the brakes... The front rotors and calipers are REALLY rusty. Patrick Now this needs pics

Last night replaced just the damaged bearing temporally with an old one I had around. Next week will replace all 4 and upgrade the rest of suspension at the time. Replaced the coil with a new Blaster 2 Coil and also noticed the - lead wire some weak close to terminal so cut and replace the terminal... hard to start the first time, dunno why. Moved and shaked every plug and still didn't start, untill suddenly started up! No fails yet since that last night. I have still the old ECU and Coil ( aso blaster 2 with some dents ) just in case those weren't the fail. Still experimenting around. The fact is still there is something weird on my ignition. next step should it be the dist pick up coil ? I don't trust on new replacement pieces so if needed will mount my OLD DISTRIBUTOR pickup coil unit what NEVER EVER FAILED!!!
