What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

I tucked mine away for the winter about 10 days ago. It got to 65 degrees today!! I miss her.
Man.....that sucks.....
Say what you want about Southern California, and it's probably true, but the weather is awesome just about all year!

Installed the Radiator, ATF Cooler and Clutch Fan assembly.

Had to massage the tabs on the hub of the Derale 17118 to make it fit over the base of the clutch (Hayden 2947). In the picture, the tab at 3 oclock hasn't been touched yet; the other 3 are 'tuned up'.

Next step: getting all of the plumbing put together.
 
Changed the valve stem on my front tire, and removed my master cylinder. New one should be here tomorrow.

I like the bracket you fabbed up for the ATF cooler. Much better than the little mount-it-to-the-radiator like I did. post #1907, page 77
 
All,

Last week added a set of MSD 8.5mm Superconductor Wires and a 4" KN Air filter. I squeezed it in with the AirGap Mani and a 1/2 inch spacer on the FiTech. This week ordered and received my 11.75 rotors and Dr. Diff Brackets, also received my Right Stuff Rear Disk conversion kit!!! Started cleaning and painting the rotors and calipers. I will swap out the stock front rotors/brackets on Saturday. The rear is going to wait till XMas break as it will take a bit more work.

Finished up getting the quarters installed and went back and repaired the drivers side striker that I overlooked before installing the panel. I have never run across one where the post washer was broken in several pieces. Now to find a replacement

On a roll. Off with the old rusted and damaged rear pan. Now to get it ready for the replacement.
 
I was putting some summer things away in the storage garage and I had to get my 66 Dart out anyway might as well take it for a drive.
 
California weather, gotta love it. First of December in Iowa and no snow yet. I'm loving it. I didn't even use the heater. LOL

Heck yes!
I'm gonna drive my Cuda today.....soon in fact!

Installing new bucket seats in my van so that I can drive seat belted in and continue breaking in the engine vs. sitting on the wheel hump!!:eek: Oh, and secure the glovebox door somehow to keep it from flipping open when doing test launches, and also removing everything that's not secured in the van to prevent it all from being thrown back to the rear...:D

Decided on the color scheme for my AN Hoses and fittings, plumbed in my ATF Cooler.

Russell's suggestion of cutting the braided hose with a hacksaw was a FAIL, but wrapping the hose tight with about 4 wraps of masking tape and taking a cutoff wheel to it brought SUCCESS.
