The Challenger Is In The Rod's Shop , It's Done

Rod is getting ready to blast the rear.

Blast his rear? Is any of your chili involved? 

Nope, Rod never ate my chili.    But I did take him over Cheeseburger Soup.

As close as his shop is, I suppose feeding him chili would be a bad idea. 

On the airplane ride home, everyone wanted your name & address because of my, um, condition.........




I gave them Sarah Palin's instead.  

[71ChallengeHer]

Thanks for not giving my address.   I figure I gotta feed Rod once in awhile. Maybe he'll take it off my bill.

Now I know what happened to the wild cat. Has Rod had received any 'tuna' sandwiches lately?

No, I only do that stuff to my ex that screwed me over.

Went over to the garage today to take some pics. A friend of mine, that has a Hemi Cuda stopped in with a box of parts. It was like Christmas.  :clapping: NOS axle bearings and seals. Door handles, washer bottle, new yoke, new sway bar bushings and brackets.( mine are bent. Took some pics of other cars . And a good shot of the Rat Rod.

NOS axle bearings - good stuff.

OEM tapered bearings are the only way to go unles you're doing a lot of drag racing. People who update with Green bearings soon find out they are not designed for turning corners. Those bearings will probably last another 40 years.

Jim,
Just put on a g-string & your wife can tuck $1.00 bills into it.







IF you dance good.

[71ChallengeHer]

Jim, That looks really good.    So, I think Barry';s idea is pretty good. You don't want Anna to think you have stripper dust on you.

Santa may be bringing Jim some Nair this year........

Slott's resto off my grille http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg169/Slotts/Jackies%2071%20Grille/         Small update the Challenger is getting some junk in his trunk.     The heads are back. They were warped. They had to shave off 16 thousands. Rod said he never saw a small block head warp like mine.

Big block or small block, heads tend to reflect the car owner's sense of humor after a while. So, in this case....


warped fits.

Thanks , Barry.     Don't drink wine and read Barry's posts    And thank you for all your help. I owe you a lot of Lager.    Rod told me to tell you, he put a greasy fingerprint on every page of the service manual. 

[71ChallengeHer]

OMG the Challenger is nekid.      No more air shocks.

Maybe I shoud have got you a splash cover for your keyboard instead?

Just got back from the garage. All the freeze out plugs are leaking. Rod's said the motor has ton of stop leak in it. So the motor is getting pulled now.

Jackie,

Next time I see you, you are getting a free Snow cone (snowball as you call them) since your car is turning into just that..... one giant Snow Ball!

Now's a good time to repaint the engine compartment..... Its always a bitch when that "dreaded" snowball starts to roll.

I think we've all been there before!
