Jim, Cool deal, I am on FBBO as well, but post more about the car here. I will check out your build. I really like watching peoples journies, really cool. I have a few topics I plan to post there to get some advice on as I am a complete noob when it comes to the mechanical part; like swapping my rear end from a 4.10 to a 3.23 or 3.55, and what to do to winterize my car.

"Winterize", that is a term from the past! For me winterize means not turning the AC on and maybe sliding the temperature slider towards the "warm" side a bit more
Today I took the brackets off my bumper so I could straighten out a dent it had. It came out good with only a small crease showing. I'm going to take the brackets to work and glass bead them next week.
I sold a couple of things last week so I had enough to order the basic seal kit from Just Mopar. It has the door seals, roof rail, and trunk seal. I'll post pictures when I install them.
Today after work I started to get ready for a benifit car show this Sunday. It's a show and toy drive for under privileged children that a friend of mine puts on every year, even though his club is a Corvette club I still support the toy drive. And at least I don't bring another belly button, I mean chevy. Lol. So I went over the passenger side looking for any place I missed when I buffed the paint out. And I found the sail panel needed some more work so I redid it. Then I started polishing the rims. It's been some time since I have done them and they are worse than I thought. Even though they looked ok, when I shined a light on them you could see the dullness. So three hours later I got the passenger side done. At least until I get it out in the sun, I hate this dark at 5:30 crap.
Wish me luck I'll be the only mopar in a sea of chevys most likely.

Finished restoring the wiper motor. Finished rebuilding and restoring the alternator and power steering pump. Got the starter mostly rebuild and reassembled. Got the tranny back from the shop. Received my Stage 3 FirmFeel gear. Figured out where all those damn accessory bracket go.
