"Grandmaflauge"-- The camo technique of driving an old lady's car, works well with old Mopars, and Oldsmobile Cieras, both of which are stealthy enough to keep the ticketmonsters away.  Trust me on this................

You might be better off to just pay the $. Dave doesn't drink beer, he drinks the Natty.

Wow did we have a nice evening, 70 degrees, first time this spring it's been that warm. So I put the back wheels on the groovy chicken and rolled it outside. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5929.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5928.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5923.jpg) My youngest helper was on the job with me tonight. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5935.jpg) I decided to pull the front windshield trim and peal the vinyl top tonight. This is the trim removal tool I made several years ago using what was a plexiglass cutter at one time. I ground the cutting edge so it wasn't sharp anymore and I cut a little hook in the blade. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5933.jpg) This is how it works, sneak it behind the trim and hook the clip to release the trim. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5934.jpg) The front stainless came off really nice, didn't fight me at all and I was happy to see the clips in decent shape and the windshield tray looked decent too. [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5938.jpg[/img] [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5939.jpg[/img] It's going to clean up really nice, a little pitting but no holes. [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5942.jpg[/img] I'm seriously considering cleaning and rustproofing around this windshield gasket as best I can and leaving it installed for now through the paint job since we can't get these gaskets right now. If it works out the way I want it too I will be able to remove the trim next winter and replace the gasket at that time and rust bullet or POR15 behind the gasket on the metal before reinstalling the glass. And that shouldn't effect my paint job at all.

Moving right along Dave, that is going to be an awesome machine I am thinking.

Beautifull piece of machinery and history.It brings back so many memeories for me.
I owned a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T 426 hemi,4 speed standard trans, the color was a metal flake copper,with a white vinyl roof.
Just loved those red line tires.

Someone painted the vinyl top? I guess I never noticed. Now, you need to replace it with one of the "Mod Tops"! http://www.mooresmopars.com/modmaterial.htmlMy mother traded her '69 orange bird in on a 71 Fury III with the paisley roof!

No, I must have stated that wrong. I meant that I exposed some of the original T7 bronze paint when I pealed the vinyl top, it was under the vinyl. Cold and rainy here today, It's supposed to turn to snow. So there won't be any working on the car out in the sunshine today.

Not much to report today, I did finish the long weld on the passenger quarter panel and it turned out pretty well. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5947.jpg) Other than that I just scraped away at the windshield tray. Had to quit early to pack the truck for our trip tomorrow. We have a confirmation for one of our cool little nephews and we are going to pick up Pam's new truck... which isn't very new at all she's buying her dad's 79 F150 4x4 that she grew up with. So I have a trailer to hitch up, chains, straps and tools to load into the truck.
