What did you do to your C-body today....

[Yeahrightgreer]

Didn’t do to much. Moved some boxes. Trying to make space in the garage to move the New Yorker in next to the Fury

Not a thing.....

Drove it to work yesterday and today. Has a clunk in the rear that developed on the way home this morning, maybe a shock, happens on bumps. I'll have to take a peak in the next couple of days.

A shock will definitely do that. Both my front ones went through that, until I tightened them again.
Or loose exhaust can make similar sounds.

Both have been on for five years or so, but that don't mean squat. The exhaust is tti, and it seems pretty solid from the axle back. I'm just not excited about laying down on the mud, I'm out of big cardboard pieces, maybe have to bring one home tonight...

Swapped out the 4 blade fan for a 5 with a new Hayden clutch I scored at Carlisle for $40 total. Will see if it improves its around town manners with the A/C on.

I said goodbye to my two 66 300’s tonight. A young man who is skilled and has the mopar lust burning deep in his chest answered my call for a new caretaker. I needed to downsize and focus on my 70 300 and my 79 300. They went to a good home....

Sorry to hear that. Priorities though, I get it. Best of luck to him and you!

I think Doba shoulda kept the '66s and sold the other two. . .

Like the voice in the back of my head grew arms and hand and started posting on FCBO under the name "Ripinator".

Sitting in the 66 yesterday for the last time I almost backed out but the young man who is taking over it’s care will be a better caretaker than I can be. Not having a Dealership to park them on and a full service garage to work in has severely reduced my ability to work on these cars and they deserve a better fate.

What happened? "Not having a delaership. . ." What does that mean?

Lol I guess I should do an official thread announcement. I retired from running a Dealership and went on contract with FCA Canada doing Dealer Development and Marketing. I set my own schedule and which Dealerships I work at. It’s less stress but also doesn’t give me a place to hang my hat or park my projects on a regular basis. Strangely enough I’m working longer hours lately than when I was GMing a store lol.

Dayum! For a minute there, you had me worried. . .

It's all good. Can still get all the goodies I did before and have access to factory pricing on new cars so my FCBO friends can still save some $$$$

I'm happy for you my friend!

I didn't find a damn thing wrong with the rear portion of my car, which is good, I think. The exhaust is solid as a rock, tti hangers do the job very well. Shocks are connected and aren't sloppy, at least when the suspension is hanging down. Springs and hanger check out. I have some crap in the trunk, I'll take it out and see if it's just that, but I always have crap in the trunk and I haven't heard anything before.

I just installed 69 NSS as suggested by another member for my 68. I now have a working NSS and I have back up lights.

Woo-hoo!

Edit: spoke too soon. Reverse lights are on in forward gears. Back to eBay I guess.

Took it out for an early morning Sunday ride.

Started trying to piece together what happened to her from the bent bumper through the cross member and dented oil pan to pushed up driver rear floor pan.

What I thought was a rust hole in that pan turns out to be more than that. Either the same thing that crunched the bumper, Cross member and oil pan pushed up the pan or someone tried to jack it from the floor pan at some point. The metal around that fracture seems pretty strong still but I’m thinking a wire wheel will prove it otherwise. Knocking the panels back down to level will also likely weaken it more.

Cross that bridge when I get to it I guess.
