And here's the after. I used a friends used horn button since I don't have the correct one myself. Still looking for a good used Dodge one.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for asking Shawn. She is doing really well and is eating/drinking like your average kid. In many ways, she eats better. She wanted Sushi a few weeks ago. She is still pretty skinny but is so different than the kid she was 2 years ago.

Great news Joe. It looks like she is happy (and hungry), and Dad is doing a great job. I'm really happy to hear all is well.

It will be cool if she takes a liking to Mopars. Our 2-1/2 yr. old has for sure.

I have been working on the car but unfortunately, don't really have anything to show for it. Saturday was one of those days you wonder why you bother. I had planned on picking up a new Spectra Gas Tank at a small local car show and then heading back to the house to replace the 20" fan blade with the new 18" blade. Well, wouldn't you know that the Gas Tank vendor decided not to attend the show this year. STRIKE 1. Then, I ran into a Moparts member whom I chatted with and in the course of our conversation realized I left the fan blade in another town (was out of town when I ordered it) and so there was no way that was going to get done. STRIKE 2. I went back to the house and decided to go ahead and install the drive shaft. As luck would have it, the new yoke I got this week PLUS the new 3rd member require the use of Hybrid U joints as opposed to the standard U-joints the car was running. Had to order those so it will be Monday before I have them. STRIKE 3. I'm OUT. Got so frustrated that I knew it would not be a "good" car day and called it done. I'll try again this week.

When you have those kinda days....just scroll back up from here a little, and look at that mile wide grin. That should help. Hate I missed seeing you at the show, and that the gas tank dude didn't show up.

You didn't miss much. It was pretty dead. They were only parking cars on the side you usually park. There were a few new cars that I hadn't seen before but I was in and out pretty quick. On a good note, just ordered a tank from Rock Auto so should be here this week most likely.

Thanks Bryan. I'm trying to take my time and do things the best I can. Really have worked on my patience with this one. I've had several set backs but dealing with them the best I can. Since this was an early car it did not have the rear sway bar nor the dimples in the frame rail for where it installs. JDMOPAR was nice enough to get me some measurements and and the bar fell inline with the measurements he gave so it should be correct. I did install the correct front brake cable as well, the next big task is the fuel tank/tube install. Here's a photo of the sway bar in place and the mufflers.

"Eyeball it"??? Heck, I wish you were close enough to help. Wife pitched in a hand today to help me install the steering column. It all went well until the coupler retainer (that was tight) became loose. So, I think I'm going to have to pull it back out again and redo the coupler retainer.

Families that Mopar together, stay together I too have had my wife as my beautiful assistant

I got my 70 Cuda back to my house. It's darn close to being ready for paint. I've been toying with the idea of sending it out for paint over the winter

Your heading to the finish line with the T/A and it's looking spectacular!
