65 Barracuda daily driver
I thought I should test fit the deck lid before I do more work on it. I appears the weatherstripping is too thick. It's still the one that was on the car when I bought it - I took it off and put it back when the car was painted. I guess I should probably replace it and test fit again. Just ordered the correct Y-profile weatherstrip from Detroit Muscle Technologies.
It neither looks good nor actually seals that well (photo from the archives...):
The brakes were screeching a bit so I thought I should take a look. The rotors could use some turning, but the pads are still ok. Both rotors and pads were new when I swapped to discs about 6 years ago.
The screeching likely came from the rear brakes. The shoes were still good as well as the drums, but there was tons of brake dust. I showered everything in brake clean and the screeching is gone. (Photo was taken before cleaning)
While the wheels were off I gave them a good cleaning. I just love these Cragars!
