Not quite...

So my list of stuff to complete on the car is still the same. I did make it to the WPC (Walter P Chrysler) Swap Meet on Sunday, however.

Ended up buying a few items that were of interest. I picked up a set of rear leaf springs that were set up with some Competition Engineering Sliders. The slider kit is for a drag car and probably won't work for what I want. But, I needed some leaf springs and the whole setup was only $125. I figure the slider kit is worth at least that, if not more, so I'm ahead.

I got a set up headlight buckets for $10. Needed a set to butcher and test out some different headlights that I want to run.

The real deal of the day was my battery relocation kit cable. Somebody had a stock rear mount postive battery cable from some current platform. The relocation kits are usually at least $100 for a decent one and I really only need the cable. For what I'm doing I will just reuse the original battery tray and hold down bolted to the trunk floor. Then I'll take the nice new cable, run it to the front for power and put on whatever end I need after I cut it to length. The battery end that's on it I can use and it even has a cover that I need over the terminal. Can't beat all that for $20! Hell, the copper is probably worth almost that by itself.

I'll post up some pics of the stuff after I lay it out in the garage. That way anybody reading this can have even half a clue what I'm talking about.

See ya...
