    Just a suggestion, but for now, that little gap you have on that missing trim piece by the front windshield driver side, they do sell a thing at hobby lobby that is called liquid chrome. Either make you a little piece and paint it with that, by the way it is good stuff, just let it dry for a solid 24 hours. And from 5 ft away you won't be able to notice it. I just thought I'd throw that out there.

    A true car enthusiast means not giving up, no matter what life throws at you. A build that took this long shows real commitment and dedication and love for this life. What most don’t understand about a car taking so long to complete is sometimes other responsibilities happen and the car needs to be put aside. The car is in a state of storage for 3/4 of the build time. You really don’t see it much.

    Keep on it when all is well. Give yourselves 60 days to finish your 68 charger. And you still aren't done with your car, Give yourselves another 60 days, when your charger is complete and completely put together, look at anything and everything to see if you can make that part of your car better, like the hood, and what ever, whatever, whatever!!!!!! As a car enthusiast, there is always next year. And that's the fun of car shows. There will always be one or two or three. Anyway, I enjoyed your show, and thank you for sharing your family project with us all, Your 68 charger is stunning and beautiful ... Keep up the good work and good morning to you all.

    @luirg 4 місяці тому

    Great job so far. Only thing i noticed that was off was that when you prime a 440, you need to have the valve covers off in order to see if you're getting oil out of the rockers. You sometimes have to bump the engine so that some oiling holes line up in order for the oil to come up. And then do the same to the other side as well.

    I say you all did an outstanding job. One thing that bugs the living daylights out of me is when people put an unreasonable time limit on something and start cutting corners. Take your time, do it right! There will always be another meet. Things go on all the time. Just thing how much more special the car will be to you and how much better you will feel about the car if each and every step was done the absolute best you can. Just Sh!t happens. No problem, step back and give it time. I am not a Mopar person but the work I see here I can really appreciate and it looks great. If it were me, I would get a better hood, paint it to match. Just saying.

  • @ws2664
    @ws2664 4 місяці тому

    No, that's an adjuster that turns, those cut outs are suppose to be there, there are a lot of you tube videos to show how to do that, the axle has to be installed and the end play should be around .010 of an inch and there should be a locking tab you have to remove before you adjust then replaced when done to keep that ring, with the cut outs, from turning.
