bacon…

beaters are ready to go as always (metro/tracker)

k car has a broken trans so i gotta rebuild that with the parts from the two trannies i have plus new bearings and begin project :snky:

daytona needs alot of tinkering. pulling the engine and trans to fix previous owners bungles, pull windshield and reseal (just started to leak at the top, covered up for now), pull carpet and dry it out (previous owner ran wiring through the doorjambs = instant wet carpet) reassemble interior, swap out current brakes/hubs for 11" lebaron GTC set, get alignment, repipe SRT intercooler, swap in DSM 450cc injectors, 3-bar map, create a new calibration and drive it as the new summer daily.
