The 2 jobs I can't stand doing on any car are pulling automatic transmissions and doing anything that has anything to do with headers.

Anything that involves unbolting or working around headers.

Here here. Ive taken those damn hookers on and off enough times that I needed to buy 5 sets of gaskets.  :brickwall:

Also, brake/fuel lines...mainly because I didn't do them first when the car was a bare shell.

Replacing a starter on the 73/400 with headers in the parking lot of a rent it center :brickwall: What a PITA!  Fortunatly I've had to do that before so I knew what to expect.

My least favorite thing, is not knowing how to do something.  I don't know anything about body work, and would love to learn.  have figured most everything else out..  Thinking of taking a college class if I can find time/money.

I have to probably say aligning the windows in the charger and our chally vert.  Lots of trial and error.   Possibly next on my list will be to pull the padded dash from my charger.   I am almost ready to undertake that so I can paint the metal part of the dash correctly.

Glad to see others that think getting at the spark plugs is a challenge.  The plugs were out of the car when I got it.  I'm trying to figure out how to get a compression tester hooked up with so little room to work up in there.  It is a 383 that originally had a single exhaust, my dad put dual exhaust on in about 72 or so using Mopar headers.

Any tricks anyone can share?  Also trying to picture how I will get my torque wrench up in there when I put the plugs in.

Thanks
Smoke em if ya got em

Okay...LEAST favorite stuff. Sorta hard for me to decide since I actually enjoy most things on these old cars.
