Trust me it gets better. I don't know how many kids you have but I'm the only body man in the family so I got all kinds of projects to do for the kids I retired not long ago so I had time to start working on my kids toys.
I love my kids and we have a great time together so not upset about building another shed besides they will do all the work and I get to drink beer and watch. LOL
 
Well, finished up the machining this morning on the D-4B intake manifold head flanges... Going to make the Heat Cross Over Blocking plates later... It was fun for the most part.. No " Whoops" or any other Navy Language used !!! Looks like I almost have a brand new Edelbrock D4B intake...

Looks good clifcuda65 could you bring your equipment over here and help out for a week or 2. lol
 
I did some polishing of the trunk trim. Removing anodizing really sucks and that was a heck of a lot of sanding. The trim was not in the best of shape, but this made it look so much better!!!

Dug it out a little further. 413 sitting behind the mower is going in. Have a 727 hiding behind the core 440 engine I need to move to storage. Only thing on the car now are parts for it, and my garbage box. First time I've seen all the roof in ages. No, I'm not proud. But it feels good to be getting closer to working on it again.

Thought this might be a good thread to quickly show what you are up to with your cars today, as an alternative for people who don't have full build threads for their cars.

I'll kick it off!

Today I bolted on the new Cragar wheels and tires and took it for a quick test drive with no front or rear glass. What a great traction upgrade! 295/50/15s in the back and 155/80/15s in the front. Gave the car a whole new attitude.
I also installed my new Champion Radiator that I bought from Challenger Gary a couple of months ago. It works great so far, ran it for about a half hour with a single 16 inch electric fan and the temp stayed very steady.

Now I am removing the old cheapo headers and installing a new set of Doug's along with a mini starter that I pulled from the local U-Pull junk yard a couple of hours ago for 22 bucks.

Trying to get it driveable for Mopars in the Park. I live about 20 minutes from the fairgrounds so it shouldn't be too bad a drive with the 4.56 gears. Really looking forward to meeting some members!

-Doug
