Damn rain

Four days of rain this week.  :eek2: 

I have about 50 miles on my newly rebuilt 340 and newly rebuilt 8.75 with 3.55's in it.  Both went in last week.  I also have a factory sunroof that previously leaked like a sieve in the rain. 

I peeled out the rusty old factory seal about a month ago.  I was hoping to get it all buttoned up before the engine went in, but it didn't happen.  I took some time today to finish sand, prime and paint under where the new seal will go as well as to blow the drain lines out to be sure the water has some place to go.

Next step is a nice dual exhaust, getting the radio hooked up then the body work.

Car is a 73 Charger, non-SE, nicely optioned with a manual sunroof, AC and PW.  Also came with PS, PB, a slapstick and Magnum 500's.   :2thumbs:  Those were the days!  Order whatever you want...nothing more...nothing less.

I agree!   :coolgleamA:  I bought it because Challengers are ~5X more expensive and I loved the options.  The 3rd gen style has really grown on me....which is good because I have silly money into this thing now.  I had a co-worker back in the 80's who had a black 71 with a 383 and I admired it.

Isn't it always the way...those who need it can't get it, those who don't...I am so sick of rain! I would LOVE to send you some...
