The Brick, 1972 Dodge Dart Custom
Another weekend and a few steps closer to getting back on the road. This past weekend was all about getting the 8 1/4 rear all setup to go under the Brick and to finish off minor stuff for the front end change out.
Here is Joe cutting the other spring seat off. Got one side cut off and the other side popped off with a whack with a BFH.
He got the other one welded up, looks pretty good.
Mocked up the full setup of the new rear and springs. New U-bolts and shock mounts.
Polished off the Adjustable Prop valve install. Replaced the main down line. For the most part, brakes are done, just got to finish up the bleed job after the rear goes in.
Would have taken pictures on Sunday of me beating the s**t out of myself taking out the 7 1/4 but was kind of busy breaking 40 year old shackles :(
Oh well, going to order the new ones this week and hopefully, rear end installed this weekend!
