Tomorrow I'll finish all the hoses, wiring, front brakes, torsion bars and maybe even the exhaust if I have time. Going to a "full time" job in the afternoon really cuts into my car time

First I always love following your work, nothing but high quality work Second MODS Maybe Scott could use a new sub title A great guy with an real eye for detail Third the as to the statement about 72 and up cars vs money to restore them I believe that subject has 2 points of view. Yes when classic mopar muscle cars became part of an investment hobby "money in" Vs "money out" was certainly an issue for those folks. For those of us who simply want to restore the cars we love, sometimes money is not a factor even when we don't have much of it. Some of us do it because of the cars value to us...not everyone else. I never would have believed what I have in mine $$ if my receipts we not neatly organized. Over a long period of time even those small purchases start to sneak up on you Fourth for those who love black cars heres a friends car. I'd say which member built/owns it but did not ask "bugsydogs" permission to post that info so I better not...what a sweet car

Black looks cool on cudas! Very nice!
Black looks good on EVERYTHING!
Looks like the engine is the wrong color too, but I'm starting to like the owner. He's not afraid to spend bucket loads of money on a "worthless" car to build it the way HE wants it.
Now if it were mine, there'd be some black stripes on it too!
Sharp car, nice work!
2 Demons...no, not my kids!

Aren't those calipers or is it the hardware, hard to come by?
Is that new stuff or did you refurb it?
I put some Wildwood stuff on the fron of my Challenger which is SCARY under powered and bought some NOS calipers and all the hardware to put on my Challenger (was drums all the way around originally).
Looks good

I don't know about now but...I bought new calipers and brake hoses from Car Quest a few years back. No use buying those things from the restoration companies when you can go to your local parts store and pick them up cheap.

Ok...So I skipped a couple of days, and I don't work weekends so I haven't done a lot. I'm also sharing my time with a full assembly of a 71 Cuda right now.
To date I have 35 hours in the re-assembly.The underside is 100% finished, as is the engine compartment. I started to trim out the body and I have a friend coming over to install the vinyl top and front and rear glass on Friday....
