Picked up the parts that were Powdercoated, time to start to think about the rear end. :scratchchin: The best news of all though
is that we found a new house with both space for the cars and horses. :icon_smile_big:
Where did you get your parts powder coated, and how much did it cost?
TIA!

Hello TIA! It was a local hobbyshop and it costed 450 euro for everything.

Besides starting up the strokerbuild I done some assembling this weekend. Started up under the car with the brakes but are missing some springs
so those have to wait. The tank went up but I saw that no new nuts were included when you by new straps and bolts.  :eek2:
I also have mounted the QA1 shocks but the sleeve isn't big enough at the top, should I put some washers in betwenn. :scratchchin:
With the fuel and brakelines I have to look up some pics from other restos to see the correct routing.
I have also done some painting of future needed parts for the brakes among others.

Thanks for your answer. I would have liked to get the rear axle coated, and as I live in North of Germany, I could have used the same shop. ::)
Did you clean the parts before powdercoating, or did the shop clean them for you?
Quite difficult to clean the parts with redneck methods...

They sandblast them first, before the powdercoating.

I will be a PITA for a while because I have lost a lot of pics from my computer. :'( Lucky I have you guys. :icon_smile_big:

Is this routing correct for the pass side brakeline? Have seen those going under the framerail aswell? :scratchchin:

Continued with the brakesetup, I would like to test the brakes before engine and dashboard comes in if somethings wrong.
The brakebooster has a adjustable rod so I guess that's something that can be tricky?

Getting closer and closer is the vinylroof assy :eek2: I lay awake several nights a week thinking about how that will be since I never did that before. :scratchchin:

There will be no room for familyactivities this weekend either :icon_smile_big: the heaterbox needs some attention.
The wife and children is starting to get a little bit irritated over my time spended in the garage and I havn't even started
tearing the Challenger apart. :eek2:

Put the wiperlinkage together with new sealings and clips but again :brickwall: must have lost the plastic "bushing"? needed between
the linkage and the little crank. Again, never moove during a project like this. If somebody knows the name of the piece or even better knows
where to find one please let me know. :2thumbs:

Found one on ebay :2thumbs: Assembled the painted frame for the headliner at the rear window with new clips and screws :icon_smile_big:
and after testing 10 different colours I painted the taillightpanel with Toatally Autos organosol. I will see tomorrow if I have to add one moore
layer because at the test it gave some shiny spots here and there.

Going great there......

I guess you were lucky with the gaskets from jim Fillmore, I ordered mine over a year ago and never got a thing, probably went missing along the way...

The organosol looks good so far meaning I can shortly start to build up the rear end. :icon_smile_big:
