The record snowfall is nearly gone and we got a decent rain yesterday to get rid of the salt. If this keeps up I might be able to get it out this month.

Probably not this year...I have the k frame out and it's painted.  The car is sitting on jack stands with no front suspension currently....The wait is killing me!

I never put my car away for the winter...I never do.  The only reason I'm not driving it right now is because it's leaking brake fluid and I can't find where from  :brickwall:

Neighbors prolly like seeing that around.  Raises property values.  :D

I'll be taking mine out of hibernation this week.  New springs, Cal tracs, sub frame connectors, driveshaft loop, new wheels & 295 rubber and hopefully heater core.  Beings it's an A/C car I don't look forward to it.  :eek2:

Sorry, I shoulda been more specific.  That's why it's coming out of the garage, to get all the goodies mounted.  I'm going with Kelly Charger tires.  The 295 selection is slim and the Charger reference is kinda cool.  They're the only thing left to buy.

Oh yea :yesnod: Mine never really goes anywhere for the winter. We never have much snow around here so no salty roads to worry with. I haven't had it out in the last week though. Ive got some kinda racket coming out of the rear end, and its been raining every other day so I haven't been able to find out what the problem is yet. I think Ive got a bearing going bad  :shruggy:

BTW: Sweet ride keepat :cheers:

Mines been sitting outside all year. It's been out, but not "gotten" out.  Still need a ton of things for it to be back on the road.  See what happens when you pull the motor for an oil leak?

I can't wait to see it!  I've always thought the same thing about the Kelly Charger tires  :2thumbs:  I might get them instead of BFGs next time if I like the way they look on yours

1st time this year! winter is over! :cheers:

Pat, are you coming to Downs Park again on May 11th?  I'm planning on bringing the Charger down once again.  :cheers:
I did had my 69 Malibu out a couple weeks ago.  The Charger is sitting up in the air right now waiting for the rear to go back in.  I had it upgraded from a 2.76 peg leg to a 3.91 posi.  My 70 SS has been sitting since October.  I am having a Denny's Driveshaft made for it so hopefully the vibration over 65 MPH stops.  I should have that and the rear for the Charger back this Saturday  :icon_smile_cool:.

Tomorrow is promised to NOBODY . . . .

My Charger gets out about once a week.  Being in San Diego there's no excuse to let something like that sit around collecting dust...

Tom, Sound like you've been busy this winter with all your cars! That's the one good thing about winters in the north, we have the down time to get to some projects. I will see you at the Downs Park show in May. :yesnod: I hope you have a posi weekend!

usually mine sits until may,but since we are down to one car besides the charger ive been driving it for a couple weeks,its a 3 mile drive to work,so unless its snowing im driving,not the best way to get her out early but it beats walking! shitty thing is getting 8 miles per gallon and just getting heat when i pull in the parking lot,but it is a quick ride! :yesnod:

Got the 73 out a couple days ago only to wipe a rod bearing, i think.  :brickwall: Shut her down and am now pulling the 440.  I wanted to clean and paint the engine compartment any way. :shruggy:

Well, I have a few rust holes to fix in the trunk pan--not enough in my mind to warrant replacement--put the new Goodmark gas tank in it, replace the 24 year old tires on it and throw on some insurance and I am there.  I am shooting for about June.....
Do I have the last, operational Popcar Spacemobile?

Mass_Mopar

Not yet, but I have fired it up and let it run for a good 20 minutes once a month since November :2thumbs:  It still fires with a couple pumps on the pedal and a second or two to turn over :cheers:  The weather is slowly picking up around here (MA), and I hope to have plates back on it and insurance again in May if I'm lucky.  My insurance co wants an extra $1000 a year for minimal coverage on it, so you can understand why I turn the plates in for 6 months out of a year.  I'm not 25 yet so no Hagerty, and Grundy will insure it but I have a younger brother who has a license and no primary vehicle, and they won't insure my car until all drivers in the household have primary vehicles :brickwall:  So I'm stuck with regular insurance rates. :eek2:

BTW where does everyone live?
