The lugnuts were a bitch to get off. Impact would not do it.. had to use the breaker bar and REALLY hit it hard. Everything on this car has been rusted together and has been harder to take apart than any other one I've worked on. The wheels needed to sit with some PB all over them.. it was pretty well rusted to part of the rotor/hub. After sitting a few SOLID knocks broke it loose.

Drained the Oil and Anitfreeze. It was not milky or anything.. so I feel like the headgasket should be good. The anitfreeze had just a bit of a rainbow on top, but since I drained it into the oil drain pan.. it probably was just leftover. The oil had a tinge or what must of been airated or bubblely oil. I know when I checked it, it was at or just above full.

Spent some time buffing the turn signals. Took my old headlights from the R/T and are working to clean them up (they are already REALLY clear compared to the SC's). I'm probably gonna do some test amber stained glass paint technique to alter the extra set of signals I have.

Took the crank pulley off.. it was a bitch. I have the right tool for it.. but didn't have the right length pin so I had to find one. Ended up just cutting the belts because they were pretty well rotted and cracking.. figured could just get some new ones. Few steps left til the timing belt and water pump can come off.. just a ton of side projects going on now.
