Realtor said she may have another 14,000ft building coming available too. She gave me the address but said the people dont know they will be moving soon so I'm not to say anything Maybe 15 more years helping the Mopar community and then a little house on one of Michigan's great lakes with a Mopar in the garage.

My boss tried that by buying back his first new car and after a few years staring at it he sold it after he realized he had not enough free time, You either have to have time to do what you can't afford yourself, or you have to be making stupid money so you can pay others to build them for you.

But we are living longer right? Stoopid money will never be a problem I'll have to worry about.

The gentleman on the phone said yes but they dont have any and are probably 4 months out. www.DetroitMuscleTechnologies.com Mopar body and heater box restoration gaskets

Wish there was an easy way to drain the tank other than pulling it. I could pull it and replace with a OEM looking stainless tank. I'll have to change the oil. Accumulated some parts. Battery tray package - AMD tray, Hoffman brace and holddown, Frank Badelson cables Manifolds HP ceramic coated manifold from AndyF with 3" headpipes (nice to have the O2 bung), Hoffmans manifold bolt set Optima yellow top battery and good Optima charger/trickle charger Borgeson steering Custom type II pump mounting brackets Detroit Speed pump, pulley and hard line Need to get a small sector box (thats the pitman I have already) and Borgeson universal coupling with the rubber bushing - Mancinis right down the road from me Trans Pulling to have Hemi OD gearset installed. THAT WILL ROCK. MAN I'm not looking forward to doing that. May do it tomorrow. Then I'll probably have to get some steeper gears than 3.55's in my 8-3/4.

Rust in the lower RH qtr, bunch of little chips on qtrs (maybe spray with gravel guard). The guy that painted it for me maybe 10 years ago now did something wrong and anywhere something is bolted down the paint has pushed up and flaked off. This was especially bad under the TA spoiler. I got a new AMD decklid (hoping it fits) and not sure if I'm just going to remove the TA theme and do a more correct rallye theme (I'm torn) Need to pull the AndyF 470" engine so I can send my alum Hemi box back to Passon for a Hemi OD gear set. Praying he still has/does these. Anyone know? Need to decide if I purchase some coated, extrude honed manifolds with 2.5" dumps or go with some SS headers $$$$, ouch). The TTI's look like crap now. Lastly gonna put power steering back in the car. Thought about putting the Borgeson setup in but MAN there seem like some horror stories out there. I'd gamble it. Power would be nice. Could always put my manual box back in. What did George say about the Challenger paint/body work? Hopefully, you decided to keep the E-Body? Looks really nice and would like to see you and the family roll up to a show (whenever they are back on).
