What did you do to your C-body today....

I bet more tankering on the shiny bits. Had to paint the satin black around the license plate trim. There’s a small section that I have to paint Argent silver as well, but it’s looking real good so far.

Cleaned off the Minnesota bugs from last weekend to make room for the North Dakota and Montana bugs next weekend.

I added center console mounts to a fury that never had one. I started - with help from members - trying to recreate the factory mounts, but soon realized that because of my non-stock shifter it was a waste of time. I then just added plumbers strapping to the console itself using the 3 built in mounting spots and then leveled and centered on the shifter. Wherever the strapping hit the floor I hot glued it down. After removing the console that gave me a template for location, height, etc. I had a piece of aluminum angle that I used but in retrospect wood could have worked just as well.

My console will be higher than stock because of my shifter (Hurst - promatic2) but carpet and sound deadening should fill the gaps just fine. Super excited about finishing this and the interior but the nice weather as me appropriately distracted.

The M/T valve covers on my 440 were oxidised really bad. Cleaned them up and put on some rattle can clear, if it holds it holds. Also took this opportunity to make some new baffles.

I put in $107 of gas today. New record for 19.8 gallons. I remember in college sometimes mom would write me a check for $20. After I filled the tank I usually had some left over for food or beer.

Again with some painting on the shiny bits, had to satin black an inside portion of the upper tail light trim, very happy with the results, and then we were off to my little man’s 8th grade graduation. He’s off to high school next year. They grow like weeds don’t they!!

Who the hell designed it so that the front 6 oil pan bolts are completely blocked by the stub frame, my god that was a pain

Drove my C-body up the interstate, very relaxed, and saw I was doing 85

I finally finished my vintage air install and new interior.

AZ is a “rear only” license plate state and I couldn’t find something to go in the front that I liked, so I cobbled this together and printed/laminated it for the front plate spot. Might not survive a wash but it never rains here so at least that’s not a concern haha.

Oh, what a night....

I mean it. Oh, what a night. Now that I've gotten started on putting her back together last night we covered a fair bit of ground in a couple of hours time. I had my boys helping Aaron 12 and Nathanael 10.

I had Aaron remove the heater core valve so that we could get the cable housing mounted properly. Then he reinstalled it. Next the vacuum line from the engine to the push button switch was hard from being 54 years old and heat exposure so I had him splice in a new section to run out to the manifold. Aaron also installed the radio support that goes from the back of the radio down to the metal dash frame.

In the mean time Nathanael and I was fighting to get the blower motor in place and all three holes lined up. Then I reinstalled the heater hoses while the boys were vacuuming the inside out to put the front carpet back down. After they got it in place they vacuumed again. Then they put the kick panels and sill plates in while I was connecting the AC lines. After this we installed the rear seat. I had it out to get upholstery quotes. When I looked at the clock it was 10PM - time to call it a night.

I spent as much of my time keeping them directed and moving forward as I did doing stuff myself. Oh, what a night... it was a good one to have the boys in the garage working with me. Sometimes they desire to make progress a little faster than I am comfortable with an I have to slow them down so that I can think about something before they jump right into it.

Oh, what a night...

Do you have a thread or photos showing the VA installation?
