Allen and I and the Club House, or should I say Mopad

cudaken · December 04, 2005, 07:32:07 PM

Ever wish you had places to go where there better half would not follow you to? No worries for now and a places you have to enjoy what you love? Well, 41 Husk as such a places, with a garage.

Well today I got a key to the dream places thanks to Allen.

This is the Mopad! Allen bought some rental property and saved some of it for him self and now me

This is a ture man cave, PIC of Mopar's, half clad woman and a Cam 2 collection. Oh, plus a good sizes garage.

Brock Samson · December 04, 2005, 07:38:52 PM

looks pretty posh except the interior designer

in me says it needs checkered flooring, better chairs and some paint in the door jams...

Wwelcome back Cudah.. how's school comin?..

cudaken · December 04, 2005, 07:43:27 PM

Did not take a PIC of the half clad woman, want that just go to Miss Mopar.

Now a little back ground on Allen and I. We have been freinds for 2 going on 3 years now. When I met Allen this is what is 70 Challenger looked like at his house. Car was taken apart for around 9 years now, and no door or fenders for 5 years plus.

This what it looked like when I met Allen the first time.

hemi68charger · December 04, 2005, 07:52:08 PM

Good Gracious !!!!

So, I'm NOT alone being a Mopar guy AND a beer can collector with Mopar prints around.. Here's my sanctuary, my garage decorated in pop-culture Mopar and brewery motif..

I have about 500 domestic and foriegn cans and will hopefully be putting it all up once I get into our new house.. His can collection looks great, especially with all the Mopar pictures around......
The priced beer can is the "old german" cone-top......

cudaken · December 04, 2005, 08:00:26 PM

Why did I get a key to the club house? Well I have been helping Allen with the Challenger. Today something happen that never Allen or I had seen. OK, Allen saw it 9 years ago. All 4 wheels on the grond and door on it.

For you following postings in paint and body I helped Allen strip the car to bare metal. Ruffing in the body so it can be put in primer. Are goal is to get the Challenger in primer before Christmas so it can get exhaust and then shipped to a shop to get the 340 breathing. Looks stock right

NOT.

In PIC 12-4-5 you will see foil wrapped around the springs and rear end

That is a Cuda Ken trick to keep over spary off the fresh and done parts. Much easyer than masking with tape.

cudaken · December 04, 2005, 08:22:14 PM

Sorry about the chain link fence in the PIC, but did not feel like tearing it down or pushing the Challanger all the way out to the street

Allen was up for the pushing but not I.

OK, left side, trunk is in it first caot of primer. Today we worked on the Right front fender and Right door. Thay are now in primer and ready to be hung like me. Did I say that?

Also the water was cold and deep, OK I will shut up

It was cold, that is for darn sure here in the midwest today. We could see are breath all day in the garage and had to heat up the filler and primer on the heaters. Don't think OSHA or the fire marshal would have been happy, but as Allen said "they are not here are they"? I will add, great deal of slober care was taken to make sure there was no fire!

Main thing left is the Hood that will take some work then the right quarter. Then the current goal is meet. Car will be in primer then running after wards.

cudaken · December 04, 2005, 08:38:35 PM

hemi68charger, well he still working on it. It not his house, just left overs from his rental. Nices looking garage you have as well I will add. Is that a real Hemi or a plactic Mock up? Reason I ask is the is the crank snot is the same color of the block, which is sort of a odd color in it self unless it is in expoy primer.

My garage is not pretty either, but does have a $20,000.00 Audiophile grade system in it. 600 watts a side Mono Blocked baby.

it's a real 426 Hemi... It's the motor that will eventually find it's way into my '68 Hemi Charger R/T... The shop that did the long block coated the engine and heads in a corrosion control paint.. I'll be painting it shortly after I get the k-member powder-coated and the cradel set up for the suspension/k-member/engine/tranny build up....... nice looking '69 there...

Troy

cudaken · December 04, 2005, 10:30:48 PM

Then it is a expoy primer, that explains the color. Hum, painted the crank snot. Hum, did you have your Hemi shipped to MO

Inside joke to people that know me.

Thank you as well Troy on the complaint on my 69 Rusted / Trash. Pretty good looking POS if I say so my self.

Allens Challanger is 3 times the car than mine. But does not look it yet. But it will.

CB · December 05, 2005, 02:17:36 AM

so when is the house warming party?

Pretty cool hang out place you guys have there.

Ghoste · December 05, 2005, 04:00:16 AM

Wow. That place sure does shame the little rat holes my buddy and I use. It's nicer than some offices I've seen.

69_500 · December 05, 2005, 08:02:54 AM

So you guys are going to have the whole car in primer by Christmas? Guess that rules out the DVD being of Allen's car then huh.

Great Collection of Cans there though. I'm sure you two have added to that collection over the process too?

Did he give you a key so you can empty the garbage and the blue box?

69_500 · December 05, 2005, 08:48:37 AM

You haven't moved any of your audio equipment over to that place so that you can jam to tunes while working on the car? What kind of a buddy are you? JK

cudaken · December 05, 2005, 11:59:54 AM

Dan, I was sort of thinking about moving over some extra stereo gear, I have lots of extra's. Allen Challenger was never going to be tha Car in the DVD. It was to far a long as is the AMX project. I will call in a week or two about the DVD.

Shakey, the blue box is bait to get me over to the Mopad.

Cuda Ken

andy74 · December 05, 2005, 12:05:13 PM

man you guys are lucky,beers,broads and mopars! i have to work on mine at the dealership,and cant even drink beer while im there! thats why im moving her to a new location shortly!!

41husk · December 05, 2005, 01:28:24 PM

The mopad is much like the Challenger, a work in process. I will eventually have some kinda floor covering and a pool table. For now all time and what little money I have goes into the Challenger, it has been neglected long enough. As soon as that is finished the one bedroom apartment down stairs will be completed, it's about 50% finished now. I am losing $400 every month it's not rented

As soon as it is done I will concentrate on the mopad but the way it is now my wife never comes looking for me, if it's all nice she may start coming over to see what I am doing

As for the can collection, I started collecting when I was a kid and have a couple thousand cans. They were in the basement of another piece of rental property gathering dust, so I figured they would make a good wall covering for the mopad.

Charger_Fan · December 05, 2005, 04:38:37 PM

That's quite the collection!

I bet you're pretty happy to see the Chally getting this close after all these years.

cudaken · December 05, 2005, 08:46:36 PM

Allen, leave some bait and I will be there this week. This is a old buliding and F--king Door's are short. I have to duck to take a P--s, duck to go in the garage. Made for midgets, busted my head last Saturday. For some reason Allen does not have a problem.

Here's Allen

The Charger is not 1/18th scale either.

Cuda Ken

41husk · December 06, 2005, 08:16:21 AM

I am also 103 lbs lighter than in that pictures and that even makes me look shorter for some reason

69_500 · December 06, 2005, 10:07:21 AM

I was going to say is the garage made for a midget, or just not someone of kens size? I mean he isn't a small fry.

Well I went on 3 job interviews this morning, so hopefully one of those pans out. So if you do decide to try to do a video, I'll have to check and see if I'm available. Because if I do get a job, I wouldn't want to try to ask off of work so soon after just starting a job.

41husk · December 06, 2005, 01:31:46 PM

i think if he just shoots a home movie version of how to do body work he could make a bunch of money.

41husk · December 07, 2005, 08:06:21 AM

Ken, Bait is in the trap or should I say fridge? Paint is Y1.

sandmbmx88 · December 07, 2005, 02:06:13 PM

hey ken! looks good. i made an update post today. i did buy a duster but i currently still have the charger

41husk · December 07, 2005, 02:26:43 PM

BMX your not to far up the road, you should hop in your car and make a road trip some time. as for the house warming any time any of you guys are in the area you are welcome at the mopad

41husk · December 08, 2005, 08:19:51 AM

Ken, I emptied the trash can for shakey, filled both heaters and refilled the Kerosine can but left it in the mopad by the fridge with the bait in it. You shouldn't need the kerosine as what is in the heaters should last the entire weekend. I am leaving for Jeff City Friday morning and will talk to you when I get back Monday.

definetly pocket, if your ever in the area let me know, I am always pleased to show any interested party my mopars, and the mopad. The mopad aint much but it's mine.

cudaken · December 14, 2005, 12:53:49 PM

Allen, I will take some PIC next trip, did you leave any baite

Make sure you leave the door bolt's where I can find them.

Right quarter and riht door jam is in primer. Only thing left is front and rear valance and hood.

PocketThunder, you where with in 4 miles of me. Next time your out this way PM me and I will give you my number and address.

Allen, have any sheets of plywood. Going to dig out the HO track this week.

Cuda Ken

41husk · December 14, 2005, 01:54:36 PM

there are two 4x8 sheets of plywood sitting up against the wall in the garage. I will bait the trap tonight and put the bolts in the holes so they won't get lost.

41husk · December 15, 2005, 09:04:19 AM

Ken, Bait is in the trap, door bolts are in a bag tied to the upper door hindge and mixing cups are in the mopad on the table by the compressor. I will see you Sunday.

41husk · December 16, 2005, 08:39:37 AM

Got my interior today and took it to the mopad, project continues to move foreward but still can't see the light at the end of the tunnel

cudaken · December 21, 2005, 10:43:11 PM

Well Allen the light should be closer. Hum is that a good thing

I did not get to due much today, manly get in the way. As normal for most people, Allen was running around town trying to find parts. Seems he could not find his shoes.

I had a painter tell me that was a reason he did not come to work one day. Went home and not there, I knew I saw them, he came back with no shoes again and it was cold.

They where in the trunk, knew I saw them. Sure hope you guys know I mean brake shoes. Then the brake cylinders he bought 5 years ago where wrong and off he went again.

Troy, another friend and I sat around and BS about cars, for being young he was not dumb I will add. I could not work on the hood like I wanted. Fender and door was still off and in the way. Hood is off the Challenger. We final got the Right door nd fender on the car. Found that the left door will not open for some reason and have the wrong P/S pump lines. But those problems will be address later.

Challenger is leaving the garage Thursday and heading to the exhaust shop, them to another shop to do the final work and wake the sleeping 340.

I will get the hood ruffed in this week I hope. Many time Allen will not have versions of sugar plums dancing in his head. But visons of tooling around in a drop top Challenger with a 340 in his head. Last PIC of the Challenger in the Moped Garage. I am sure this is the first time in 5 years the only major body part missing is the hood.

Cuda Ken

Blown70 · December 21, 2005, 11:03:10 PM

Should be good and ready by spring.

41husk · December 22, 2005, 11:04:54 AM

The door opened today just a little rusty, the liquid wrench must of helped, but still have to pull pretty hard on the handle. Well, as Ken said it is off to the shop at noon, just one shop though, Jim Riskoski, an old mopar drag racer who ownes his own shop will be installing the exhaust, filling the fluids and firing up the 340. Troy is an honor student and a very tough wrestler. He can also turn a wrench.

41husk · August 09, 2006, 09:09:03 AM
