Finally got the heater box in place!! I also cleaned up and painted the wiper transmission parts, and can't find the stupid clip to mount the long arm to the wiper motor, so that's going to have to wait till I get to my buddy's house to get a spare clip from him. The heater box went in without a hitch, had my girlfriend hold it in place from the other side while I put the re-plated original nuts on under the hood.

So yesterday I spent time at my buddy Richard's house (guy who did the body/paint) and we reassembled the vent frames (well, I assisted him is more accurate LOL)
Got them home and rested them in the doors, to keep them out of the way until next weekend when I get the glass in the doors and that buttoned up..

Also got my left side vent box cleaned up, assembled, and installed. That was about 1 million times easier than the heater box

While at my buddy's house I took advantage of being there and blasted my backup light housings. I cleaned up the rubber wire shield and wire with lacqure thinner and sprayed some bright bright silver in the reflector area and used clear engine paint for the freshly blasted housing. I also used new repop lenses I got from PG classics, nice peices, look the same as the original, just with no pentastar (original ones were cracked and nasty)

The instructions in the DMT seal/screw kit helped, but more details photos from my buddy Sandy from his '70 Hemi RR resto helped more:

Sorry for no updates guys, I simply haven't had time to work on the car, and I feel horrible for neglecting this awesome beast in my garage..
I'll get back in it within a few weeks and start posting some updates again..

Hey guys, time for another update.
After a long break from doing anything with the car, I've finally come to the conclusion that with work, family, and my life in the way, I have no time to work on the car to get it done, so I am having my friend who painted the car do the final assembly for me. Otherwise it will take me another 3 years to get it done myself.
Money well spent I beleive.
It's coming back to my work in a week or so to get prepped to go to his shop, which I beleive will take about a month to get completed (get it running and driving, and maybe some final trim work).
Stay tuned...

You and Finoke.....geez. Go ahead and light that fire under my butt..... OK, well, mine isn't custom, but it's mine.....so add a 3rd road runner convertible to this. I may make a thread but, it's just time to reassemble. It's been sitting for 8+ years...just replaced the brake system (sans steel brake lines). I'm trying to get it fired up by the Mopar Atlantic Nationals....but....gremlins... Jarrod, your custom is looking pretty cool...LOVE those valve covers
