Got some more done
This is my little jig to bake the bolts..they are done and installed...
I painted the horn bracket this morning and it is mounted with a little blue lock tite...
I removed the bracket that supports the Dodge Trim piece that runs along the front of the hood...this bracket is rusty and there is surface rust on the hood underneath where the bracket was..this is only light surface rust that attacked an area where the paint was very thin..for now I will treat it with Eastwoods rust convertor to stop it in it's tracks until I remove the hood and paint the underside..
this is the surface rust under the hood...then the second is of how thin the paint is in this area...
this is the bracket after I stripped the paint off of it..I will clean it up tomorrow and sand the rust off..

Did some air compressor repair then some cleaning
My piece of crap air compressor had a cheap hecho in china regulator on it...it broke recently and I had to use my smaller one...I got a new regulator and some 1/4 pipe pieces today and fixed it...It works good now and I was able to make a little progress cleaned the rust off of the trim bracket...I use my right angle die grinder with some 3-M scuff pads..they work good but get used up fast..I already went through two of them...they do work though...
I brought it back inside tonight to minimize the chances on new surface rust..I will hit it again tomorrow morning and night..want to paint it on Saturday along with the latch support piece

Today was my first single stage paint experience
Got both cars out of the garage...used my blower to clean it out the best I could...closed the garage door most of the way with the fan blowing out at the door...mixed up the paint in a Preval sprayer...4 parts paint...2 parts thinner and 1 part hardner...all PPG paint products..
I got it done with one light coat and then a medium and then a heavy coat...got a few pieces of trash even though I used a tack cloth over the whole piece before I started..have a couple of runs also...oh well it was hanging in the air and it was my garage...will strip it and repaint it when I do the engine compartment...

Couldn't sit still
Got the latch support bracket installed with the latch and the horn in place...the horn is underneath the bracket and is held on by the third bolt from the left...you know what "F" it my paint job still looks better than the factory paint job..maybe I am just too picky on myself...I think it looks 3000% better than before and I can hardly wait to do the engine compartment...she will look sweet then...put both girls up for the night..

I am a car addict..I have to work on one or the other every night or I have withdrawel symtoms...well today I scored a box of 100 chrome screws with washers at Fastenal..for 26 bucks..that's 26 cents a piece..I am no cheap *** but they served several purposes...trim on the front hood and sill plate replacements...
some may laff but the best ten dollar rock tumbler I found at Hobby Lobby..rusted bolts..nuts whatever in....24 hours of run time and clean come out...I use steel bebe's to clean them
I got the front chrome support installed tonight and the hood latched back down...I don't like the gap of the hood and passenger fender but it's been like that for a long time...the fender has to be moved out at the front..I will do this when I paint the engine compartment...
and my Cali duster and mini Cali duster showed up today both 24.99 on e-bay...

Okay I found the k-frame insolators
Firm Feel...
F, M, J BODY
ALUMINUM, BODY TO K FRAME MOUNTS
Rick Ehrenberg, Tech Editor of Mopar Action Magazine, installed a set of these on his A-38 (cop package) 1978 Monaco. His report:
"Amazing! Since this setup ties the frame 'prongs' (longitudinal's) together, instead of allowing them to virtually flap in the breeze, the entire car feels - and IS - much more rigid. Now the K-member can do what it was originally designed to do - cross-brace the entire front end of the car. Not only is handling markedly better, road feel and wander incredibly improved, even squeaks and rattles are way down. Now it feels like a well set-up A-body sedan on steroids. Highly recommended. And, if you can believe this, this setup works even better on F, J, and M-bodies. If you've got one of those creatures, be it an Aspen R/T, Mirada CMX, or Dippy cop car, etc., don't even think about tackling the twisties without one of Firm Feel's setups." Aluminum Sub frame Isolators, for F.M.J.
Kit includes, 4 isolators, bolts washers and weighs 7 1/2 lbs.
$225.00 per set.
This might fix some of the boat rolling action I get on the highway..

You have a sweet ride!. I don't have the show but i (Never) lost a race!!! My brother bought the Duster and I built it. He had the money I had the knowlage. Chevy,Ford,and Dodge. He's past on so I have to do this for him. But the prob. is that I dont take the (beaster) out unless anyone can beat my 4 banger grand am. Yes it's fuel injected but thats the secret. My 340 is not fuel injected but workes the same. I put a fine window screen between the head and block. Changes fuel from dump to mist like the injection. (Big *** diferance- 40HP). The gears wooo! 1st gear takes up to 58- then second takes me up to 102- then third takes me to 156. If your engine can do it than up your gears. It's all about teasting. I found mine. (Notice that I never mentioned how fast my car can go from 0 to 60 on just regular unleaded fuel)! WOW? Do the change.

Harbor Freight soda blaster works...WTF..
It was dark and I was at home but I did a half *** good job in ten minutes..I had about 5 to 8 pounds of soda left in the tank and finished 3/4 of one louver..I missed several spots but up early in the morning for some more blasting..I couldn't believe my compressor kept up but it stayed at about 80 psi and it was perfect..I could stay about 8 inches away and it worked better...as removing more paint with wider coverage..
3/4 of the paint removed...
it was dark and I missed some spots....
I almost forgot...clean up was a snap...my driveway is about 35 degree angle to the street...water hose and washed it down the street...eco friendly...

One done blasting and one to go...
Got one totally done with the blasting..have to pull the butyl tape off the back tonight and clean it up...mineral spirits helps remove the left over sticky residue...much easier to blast during the day light...a little bit of water still on it...

Okay today was a long day...
Got painting started at 9:30...my friend James wiped my louvers down with so called paper lint free clothes before I could stop him..at that time I noticed a lot of trash on one of them..we blew it off and wiped it down again...thought it was clean...one turned out okay but the other had so much trash in the paint that I had to blast it again after it dried...ran out of soda and the bag was at the house so I will do it tomorrow...here is the one that is good for now...

Got the book
Bought this for the 1981 Gran Fury several years ago....never thought I would have another that fell into this catagory...oh well it was an interesting read on the torsion bar removel...you could screw it up by just removing them with out setting the lower control arm at a certain height and leaving it there until you put it back in...

Nope that's the way my piece of crap camera on my Blackberry works....it is larger than most because the hood has two metal loops on it...one goes in the latch which is attached to the studs in the middle and one to the hook mechanism on the side..

Had to find something to do...so I painted the shackles tonight
The old lady was crazy tonight so I fled to the garage and found something to do...paint the shackles for the Aspen...tomorrow back to paint one louver but have given up having them on for the Autorama show...I also have to spend about 4 hours polishing those wheels and then cleaning the inside..Sunday will be detailing the outside to include another good coat of wax...
