The Brick is home!!!!

Well, the Brick has returned home.  After a 3 week "vacation" to the Paul Spa, it has returned.
Here is a list of what was done.  Mind you, most of this was not planned, as parts were breaking as we were fixing other things.

Stuff replaced:
A/C charged and blowing cold!!!
carb rebuilt
resealed transmission
fuel pump
fuel filter
air filter
PCV valve
ignition coil
ballast resistor
spark plugs
Accel plug wires
battery

This Friday leads me to Gene's where we are going to do motor mounts, trans mounts, and u-joints.

Found, by measuring the axle tubes that I have an 8 1/4 rear end.  7 1/4 have 1.5 inch axle tubes, and 8 1/4 and 8 3/4 rears have 3 inch axle tubes.  So for the back end, need to either have the axles redrilled for BBP, or replace them, get the springs re-arched, painted, and new bushings replaced. Also found that the front brakes are 10" drums!

Front end will be more fun.  UCA's coming from Joe in Georgia, with ball joints already there, and then the bone-yard spindles and will be ready to get the front end together.  Need to completely rebuild the front end!  Will also be looking at doing the pressure valve upgrade from the latest Mopar Action magazone, stiffen up the power steering.
