Subject: Rebuilding Dodges and eyes



I have been slowly working on my Dodge which is a real challenge , as I have
about 25% vision for the past year.. Hopefully that will change after
Wednesday the 14 th.  The Docs will re- open my partialy sewn shut
eyelids( one eye) Do a forth corneal transplant , Lay a self dissolving
membrane  over that( dissolves in about a week), and then sew my eyelids
partially shut again( for protection from the environment) If all goes
according to the plan, I will start seeing better in about a week or 10
days.   I will be confined to the house , but with my magnifying glass,
should be able to read the mail list. Please send me your best power my way!
   Recently on the Dodge:  I torqued down all the bolts and nuts in the
fron suspension  and put the cotter pins in them.  Front suspension now is
totally rebuilt and detail painted.. I installed my " Scarebird" disc brake
conversion brackets . new Dodge Ram 1500 front calipers  and pads, And new
70-72 Ford Galaxie 11"  front rotors . Altho brakes are heavy in weight,
this thing ought to stop on a dime and leave 9 cents change!, Seeing Dave
64's front 5 spoke aluminum whees convinced ne thats what I need instead of the planned chrome wheels on the front. After much searching at swap meets
and e-pay, I found a pair of era correct  mid 1960's   Ansen "Hustlers" In
excellent condion The swap meet vendor even threw in a set of new  lugnuts
and washers. 15X 6 in the Mopar bolt pattern--exactly what I wanted.
Another bonus, they clear the calipers. Scarebird said I might have to grind
a little if I used stock steel wheels.
  Got my floors patched and the 4 speed tunnel welded in.  and the 1965
rear axel housing bolted in.  Rear wheels are salvage yard Mopar 15X 7 cop
wheels painted white.  I have the 3: 55 rebuilt sure- grip differential
sitting , waiting to be installed.  A friend painted my firewall and inner
fenders a BRIGHT red. The color that the Dodge will eventually be. I wooda done that myself, but thought I better stay out of the fumes. The complete
dash is out, and whenever I can get back to it, I will  paint and detail
that
Wish me good luck!..............................MO
