Still haven't drove the ol' dodge because we went ahead and pulled the transmission last week. We think we found the problem though, the clutch was slipping because it was wore completely out. I ordered a complete clutch kit off ebay (for real cheap, thank god) so it should be here in about a week i hope. So hopefully next week all the grinding problems will be gone and i can start driving her, then we can start focusing on the little problems again like the windshield trim, wheel alignment, body work, etc... while the transmission has been out John pressure washed it and painted it silver.

The day has finally came... a few days ago i got insurance and a tag for the ol' Dodge.
I haven't been able to drive it to hell and back due to a few issues, such as 3rd gear grinding, brake issues, timing/carb, tire alignment, and to much play in the steering wheel. But she does drive and we are trying to fix it as quickly as possible so i can that ol' girl on the road. I will keep up to date with the progress.

Today John and I got about half of what we planned done but at lease we are half done, right?
We started with hooking up the brake lights to the ignition switch so they wont stay on after engaging the line lock brake. Then John hook up a kill switch to the coil and fuel pump.
I jacked up the car and took off the front wheels so John can take them and get them sandblasted and put the newer tires on. After all that I went ahead a jacked up the rear and John adjusted the clutch so it wouldn't grind when going into gear. Oh yeah i also wire wheeled and painted the inside trim for the front and rear windshield.
Next we still have to get the tires back and put on, wheel alignment, and fix the windshield trim and that should just leave body work for last. The main thing is just to get it on the road and worry about body work as i drive it.

Here we are taking the Dodge for a test drive, illgealy.
She is really almost on the road, just front tires and fix the windshield trim.

If anyone is reading this i need help trying to figure what paint scheme to go with.
Flat battleship grey with red border at bottom of car with red rims or Flat charcoal grey with glossy black trim and bumpers and rims ( basiclly black on black)?????????????

Here I am. We installed the line lock a week ago so I have parking brakes (as far as I know). I have two of the new steel rims on the back but they didn't fit on the fronts cause they were too deep and hit the tie rod ends. So I'm gonna take off the front rims and have them sand blasted. and try and put new/used tires on.
John and I are currently working on sealing the rust holes around the windshield and putting new silicone on and around the windshield.
Let me tell you about the worst thing so far.... i have to drive to two different part stores 6 times until I got the right size belt. It was getting so pissed!
We also installed the thermostat and that didn't go in as easy as it should have but we got after a few hours (yeah a few hours, long story. if you wanna know i will tell).
