Looking good Mitch..Been working on the Cuda project today. I adjusted the end play in the axles for the differential. I assembled all the brakes and adjusted them for the drums. I'm going to take the nasty tires and wheels that were on it and dismount them. I have some tires that MoparTim gave me to mount on the wheels after I paint them. Not that I'm going to use them later. I just want it to look a little better for now and as rollers.

Amazing. Probably harder to do than to turn a 4 door into a 2 door.Did some pounding and filling today on the 63 and took me 5 hours to get this much done. Remember this was a convertible car. Hard top and new 1/4s welded on so took some time to get it straight enough to mud it up and it is straight now..

Hoppy is the one that was asking me about my Capt. I contacted him and gave the info to Ray. Capt. says middle or end of Sept. but no solid date yet. His weekends are booked, so waiting for Hoppy to respond with a date choice.....Uh ok.
Al those look like they came off my tool truck. I stocked them all.Hear ya go Mitch, I use a few blocks and the Dura Block is the one I use the most. The white block is good for doing roofs and round areas like a VW bug fenders because it bends. Round block and soft blocks. Soft blocks is pretty much what you use to finish sand the primer just before paint. A hard block is not a good idea when you are sanding primer the last time before paint.
