I remember scary stuff as well.
I was a bit older than 15 (early 20's), but I had a '69 Dart that I was building as a drag car. I had the car up on jackstands...all four corners in their proper place. Mind you, the car was very light. No motor, fiberglass doors and bumpers. No interior (window...
My markers are from a 70 duster fender on a 69 valiant fender. they are the same size, so i don't know.
Unless somebody knows something I don't 69 Valiant fenders are identical to 1970 duster/valiant. Marker and all.
The steering on my Valiant became really sloppy one day. Upon inspecting everything I found the steering box was actually loose. :-? The 3 bolts had backed out. Tightened them back up and all was normal again.
I thought that was pretty strange actually. I've never had a car do that to me before.
My highschool car back in '89 was a '64 Dodge Polara 500, 2dr HT, 383, buckets, console, floor shift, Poly turquois, white top. Paid $500 for her.
I miss that car. Sold it in '95(ish).
Sounds good. That's got to be a good feeling to have her going again.
I can't wait to see what she runs man.
Post your times the next time you have it out please.
