Everything got a thorough cleaning with fresh grease and a new roller. Even a new cat hair strip.

Today my wife and I removed the widow glass and I proceeded to strip the door I think I found some of the crooked window issue.

The project looks and runs great! I wish I were a bigger fan of your rim choice, but to each his own.

It has been a while... Last year we lost our other dog. He was a sweet boi, and we miss him still. Since then, we've spent a lot of money on our house. Money that was well spent but cut into Mz. Ruby's restoration budget. But I have some parts that need installing and lots of time, so I'm...

All is well, hope the same is for you. This hyperinflation though...

Nice save, and bonus points for saving the doggies!

It's been a busy year for me, but I've been able to do a couple of projects on the Polara. I had a local garage replace the rear springs with a set of Espo one inch over stock springs which improve the ride and the handling exponentially! And I've finished up replacing the timing chain. It had...

Merry Christmas back. Was surprised you weren't in the Christmas parade.

Christmas day cruise. No traffic, great parking!

What size tires did you end up with on the rear?

Last Sunday Ruby refused to start and barely started with a jumper battery. At least she stranded us in the garage... I suspected either the starter or the battery, and after a series of tests, the battery showed a dead cell condition. Having come with the car in 2018 in a completely discharged...

And...it's done. Next project, engine oiling at startup. New oil pump and oil pan repair.

Making progress... The manifold sat in the redneck hot tub until Friday morning, then it was washed, wire brushed and painted. Today, I've gotten the intake torqued into place. The intake/valley pan gasket had a rectangular dimple about 5 by 7 inches in the center that seemed tailor made for...

@cbarge I don't have access one of them there fancy laser guns or thermometer thingies. A 1/2 inch spacer will clear, and since the car sees occasional use in temps that are near 32 degrees, we'll keep the heat risers open. Ms. Ruby doesn't imbibe in moonshine.

Plymouth? OOOOOOOHHHkay.... @cbarge ... I will be ordering one of those spacers to install. Looks like a good idea.

There's been several discussions about this on FCBO. All I know is that this is the only big block I've had with the insulator package. So far I'm not impressed and would rather have air flowing through that space. I guess I need to see if an electric choke is made for the stock AFB. If not...

New project this week. Clean and paint the intake manifold. Good thing I pulled it apart when I did. The valley pan was close to rusting through. I'm also glad I didn't buy the insulation pad kit. I won't be putting anything under the manifold for now. It'll probably keep the carb cooler too!

For those who may be curious how the rear seat panel turned out.

It only took me about 6 months but the rear seat is back in! To think... this started as just a speaker grille replacement. Simple enough, right?

Just a quick report. Both quarter windows are working like they should, I just wished I had the cat whiskers to install. The interior panels were scrubbed, given a couple of coats of Herb's spray dye, and put reinstalled over some fresh moisture barriers made from a piece of discarded drop...
