With the LeBaron out of the way, I got shorty here in the garage. I need 2 more Jack stands and the disassembly can begin (i only have 6 total, and the Daytona uses 4 since the tires leak down).
Its really hard to move this thing with the column locked. I need to go pickup the column (with a key) that I made a deal on a month ago. Just not enough time for the road trip to Indiana...
Needs some work in there...
Engine is on the stand. I threw the head, intake and turbo on just to test fit the intercooler.
The head and intake need come off and get disassembled and cleaned so they can go to moparzrule for some porting. And the block is going to get stripped and painted orange so I can start to assemble the short block while I'm waiting for the head and intake work.

That far stripped down probably worth pulling the fenders and redoing all the seam sealer behind the fenders and also in the cowl.
Yep. Already found a 1/2" of rust in the driver side rear rain gutter. Nothing serious yet, but I'll take care of it before it gets too bad.

I probably will eventually. Unless I get a smoking good bonus this year (extremely unlikely), then paint will have to wait until next year.
suddenly feel better about my garage clutter i do want your blasting cabinet tho... harbor freight?

I've decided I don't dig the blue interior in this car. Anyone want to swap interiors from a gray car with me?
the blue stuff is from a 90 omni.
the grey glh stuff was pretty beat. thats why he put the 90 stuff in it.

I like the factory black better though. It' aint a Hemi
Why change the column? Take off the steering wheel, lock plate and change the lock cylinder.
Any colour is better than black. I just rebuilt an engine in a 90 Dakota, V6 and the customer wanted it Hemi Orange, of course it was black before. The engine bay just pops now. Should have taken pics.
