Haven't had my garage door open more then a minute for the last 2 months
Can't wait for a little warm
Was showing someone the shop truck
It was like showing someone the inside of a freezer
I would love to have a resto biz but 3.5 months to get a part would put me out of biz
 
Prepping to go racing! Car literally has not been looked at since I drove it into the trailer at the track a month ago. Check tire pressures, fluids, and top off the battery. Weather looks like it will be about the same as the January outing - right around 80 and probably 1900 DA. Will have to see if we have a helping or hurting wind.

Now to find a better balance between a nap at the tree and a big stinkin' red eye....

Who ever redid this car , did a great job. Mostly lil things like taillight bulb out, tighten belts, etc.. . But the headliner is dropping bad (aftermarket plastic with fabric glued to it)
Spent all day yesterday putting this nice used one in I had laying around. Been awhile and I forgot that the entire interior had to come out. Updated sails with a perfect set, while I was at it. For some reason every screw or bolt took me 20 min each to line back up. Pain!!! But completed. Front seats and console still out so I can lay out easy and look at underdash stuff.


Ps. The odometer show 45k and everywhere I look I'm wondering if that's orginal miles. Frame, floor pans look like they were never touched. No rust at all and don't look like anyone wirebrushed sanded it looks like a 7 year old car underneath. Inside quarters trunk and behind door panels. Factory color , overspray etc and don't appear to have any kind of quarter work done. Just my thoughts. But original engine and trans were replaced.

Next up. Upgrade radio, tach, gauges and airshoks (for 2-3 lift)
Next up up. Spring, snow melts, rain washing all this mag, chloride, salt brime away. Then drive the **** out of this
 
I installed a new smaller bore master cylinder & brake line down to the proportioning valve. Gotta replace the other old one next.

Finally got around to installing my Christmas gifts! Everything working perfectly also took the time to run my headlight relay kit from @crackedback and new shunt wire and ammeter bypass. Thanks to @72RoadRunnerGTX for the wiring advice.

Next up is buttoning up my heater box install and get this prick back together. Happy motoring dudes!

What am I doing with my car today? Waiting for the snow to melt. Punxatawny Phil said the winter is going to be longer, but I think it will end in a few weeks. Today was the warmest day of the year here, 42 degrees.

Went to a local monthly "3rd Friday" cruise today. On the way home, my wife and I hooked up with another friend there with his wife and stopped off at a local bbq joint and had some good eats. We basically take over a small parking lot next to the strip mall it is in, park our cars, pull out our chairs, and have our own "mini show" while we eat. Good times!

I had the show pony 71 Demon 340 out and thought you'd appreciate his beautiful 71 B5 blue 340 4-speed Dart as well.
