I thought all the Dodge Shadows returned to earth 10 years ago. 

It was the cheap transportation of choice when I was in high school then they all seemed to go extinct overnight.

That one even appears to have it's clear coat intact. Needs more louvers.

The game of wheel bearings is over in the front, like 1k later the PS one started making noise... This one did not go as well. 

I ordered the same bearing as the other side, first one was similar to a bearing for like a lawn mower deck, returned it and ordered another. The second bearing was the same inner and outer diameter as the old one, pressed old one out and new one in..... Went to press in the hub, it bottomed out on knuckle. Quick investigation showed that the bearing was a 1/8in shorter than the old, pressed it back out and it was not the correct part number as the box said.... One more trip to another part store, and we got the correct bearing and we are on our way. 

I normally am super ocd about checking part numbers, but I assumed in a sealed National box it would be the correct one....Now to start checking new boxes.

Had the janky power washer out so decided to foam cannon the RTVberry. Cleaned up pretty good in all honesty. 

 

Drove both cars quite a bit this weekend. I am quite happy how well both of them drive.

The Cruse Control now works. When I got the car all the vacuum lines where in a box when I got it. I got them all back to stock locations and got everything working except the dome light. Car is getting better and better. Also put the Mopar Ecu back in.

Do you have a link or brand/part# for that battery terminal? How do they attach?
