What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

No work today, so the Beater is getting some love.

I got the parts to finish off the front end rebuild minus shocks (no $$..yet). New front tires and an alignment to follow.

I did the headlight relay rewire/upgrade along with a new battery tray. I don’t know what I was worried about. There is a few more years left in that tray! Lol

Overdrive? I've got a 340, 4 speed, with 3.91s.
I giggle like a 6 year old girl every time I drive it!
You bet I would giggle to.
I have a 340, 904 auto 4:10 gears And with the Gear Vendors over drive I can do 70 mph all day at 3 grand on the tach. Sure like the idea of a 4 speed good combo you have there sir.

Thanks, Fred! I'm proud of it, but there's a lot of appeal to driving 70 for more than short bursts!
 
This spread isn't for my car (as usual lol) but it sure made my new customer on Long Island a happy camper! That's what truly matters in the end. Though similar to some of my earlier valve covers, this setup has chrome replica powder, candy red and blue, and includes my first ever six-color (plus clear) air cleaner assembly and first tri-colored 1-inch Spectre hold down.

Got a text from the customer this morning who received them yesterday. "Wow they are amazing! thank you so much!!" It's all going on a '69 Newport ... If he sends me installation pics I'll share 'em.
You're ALL my inspiration!!!

Excellent job as usual Leanna
 
Put my Fuel sender back in the tank after replacing a flooded brass float. Also got to try out my new lock ring wrench, which works like a charm. Only spent a few bucks for the steel and a couple of hours with the Sawzall, flap disc and hand filing to whip it up. A great add to my collection of 'special' tools.

I need one of those. Nice job.
 
Not today but tomorrow, rain has me in the shop. I put this transmission in this Ramcharger of mine to test and drive it after it was all rebuilt to a 5 stack, now it's coming out to go in my 66 Valiant, all drained and cross member read to slide back out of the way
