Today was tailpipes and exhaust tips day.

Today, I finished installing the carpet. I do not enjoy that task.

Installing the plastic sheeting is almost as tedious as installing the carpet.

Sheeting not fun but it sure protects the inside panels and directs moisture to the correct drains.

It is coming along very nicely.

Passenger door is back together.

I had the driver door almost completely together before I realized that I had forgotten the mirror remote control.

The headliner has been folded up in the box for a couple of years. Now to try and relax out the creases.

Dodge didn't insulate the rear inner wheel wells. I had some leftover material from the '55 Plymouth wagon project so I put it to use.

 

[71Charger_fan]

I saw in the seat belt section of the service manual a mention of anti-rattle washers. I didn't have any such thing so I improvised.

 

[71Charger_fan]

I had the headliner in and was installing the trim front to back. I cut away some of what I thought was excess in the right rear. It wasn't excess and now I need to order a new headliner and start over.

Dropped it off at the alignment shop this afternoon. Currently, it seems to have zero caster. When I turn, I have to counter steer to get it straight again. There's no self-centering.

Back in the day I ran the 440 on the Chrysler dyno for Rating Runs that would be used for advertising. Those chrome exhaust tips knocked off 5 HP at 4000, 4400, 4800 and 5200 rpm.....however nobody really cared except us engine guys.

These are 2.5". Weren't the stock ones 2.25"?

In my defense, I didn't take the photo.

71Charger_fan,

Not to be intrusive, but are you a mechanic by trade?
Your work is amazing!!
Just say'n

 

[71Charger_fan]

Not a mechanic, but I can repair almost anything. Diagnostics not so much.

I'm envious!!
Congrats.

Up in the air for transmission filter change. One of the three screws that hold the filter snapped so I'm waiting on delivery of some 10-24 by 2.25" to finish the job. Likely, I'll put a few miles on it, then do it again to make sure to get out any sludge loosened by this change.
