Isn't great to have a nice place to work on your stuff?

It will be again. When I bought this place I went from wrenching in the parking lot to an oversized 3 car. Over the years its gotten to the point where it's tight swinging a wrench in there. The 3 that are parked in there now will be parked in the warehouse and I've already started turning it back in to a shop.

I'm suprised how much B Body parts are on my truck.

It's one of the things I love about Chryslers - everything more or less comes out of the same parts bin. M bodies use B body k-frame isolators. One [bad] style of wiper busing fits everything over 20 years. Strangely the male side of truck connector uses a different style blade vs the car.

Never ask why.

I decided to do a proof of [concept | crazy] before I climb too far down this rabbit hole. Quad h/l truck buckets for now and the pig tail they use will work great with the C body nose. Yes, those are battery terminals spliced in.

Camera in day mode, no flash, sold.

Even with them way out of alignment.

Got a list? LOL

Ever notice the styling similarities between the Ramchargers and the 71 Plymouth 440? The bird bath hood, the flared fenders, the body line, the 440...

How to put 5 cars in a 4 car garage - fold one flat.

Would you believe yet another call from the garage door company trying to arrange delivery? Hopefully next time I'm not on another call and baked well enough to have some fun with them.

Free doors. Get'm, wait a bit for them to realize their mistake, and if they don't, sell'm.

Give it a year or two, replace 2 of my other doors. If prices stay insane might be passing on what used to be enough to buy a truck.

Back to why it's a warehouse as started moving inventory. As long as I'm doing a complete re-org I should dust off the skills and make an electronic inventory. Moved k-frames, rims, trannys, truck metal, b-body metal, sb and bb heads, interior and exterior trim, some nos. Need to circle back to wipe it down after working on the built ins. No pic to prove it but figured how to hang c body nose using engine hoist.

 

[RWG75]

Did a little dumpster dive at metal fab shop then stopped for some punched angle. Missed a call from the garage door idiots because no phone on me. Took the afternoon to fab up a bracket to hang my Imperial nose. Need to adjust wire harness and hunt up spare bulbs.

Angles at red arrow bolts to bottom of rear garage door hangers.
Angle at green arrow will bolt to same angle as hangers do.
Yellow arrow is only hole I had to drill.

Took a minute to get rigged

Didn't expect it to reach.

Rope sling to get a get couple bolts in

Snugged up

Need to peel back tape on quad headlight pigtails to check low beams. Other high was on for a minute.

No flash

I really like that Daytona. Wish my Monaco was that clean.

Looking sweet man. If I would have tried that level of hanging something I probably would have broke somethin, mainly my own head LOL.

I have one about the condition of your Monaco - hence the pile of parts. Bought the one in the shed in 1998 with 70k one owner miles, daily drove it for about a decade so it could use some cosmetic love. Recently buttoned up it's evil twin.

I always try to start with not dropping the big heavy thing in question. When I think I've got it, I'll walk away for an hour while it can only fall an inch or so. This was heavy enough to want solid but light enough to test lift so it was work out where to lift and how to keep from rolling. Came out much more solid than expected but I don't see that as a problem. Might be a bit tight for the doors though.

Peeled the tape off the pigtails, both hi beams work, both lo blown, the surprise is no spare.

That one is sweet too. The two tone really pops on those body lines.

One of these days the Late Bs will get the love they deserve.

They've been getting big and pushing prices on FB for a few years. The thing I need to do is compare the fender tags on the mine as they've got to be real similiar.

 

[TheBohunk]

I haven't seen one for sale locally in eons. Other than one 75 Fury 2 door that popped up for sale but it was an immaculate survivor, had like 26k on the ticker. I think they wanted around $15k for it, it must have sold because it was gone quick. Other than that I don't see them much.

Even the 4 doors cars. They used to be allover the place. I had one under my couch at one time, I think. Now they are just gone. So few parts for them available too, cosmetic ones anyway.

 

[RWG75]

I don't think I have either. My fav u-pull-it usually keep a couple in the old car section but as far as on the road they're long gone and have been for years. Back in the day, ya couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting one.

 

[RWG75]

So one door is binding but I hung em so I can deal. As no solar yet, I cranked over the tractor to charge the battery. Still a bit dim compared to the truck lights.

 

[RWG75]

Hung the b body dash harness for now, debating about putting battery tray up there. Maybe take another pass at hangers and hang dash here too.

Somehow truck body ended up splitting drive line corner but doubt I'm gonna move it.

Started interior / electrical corner

 

[RWG75]

Splice the C body cornering lamps in to the parking lamps when I get that wiring figured out.
