"Rookie-Touring" '69 Dart
Today's update...
Got the engine set in place. Not exactly where I want it but it told me what I needed to know... Control arms aren't going to work. (I pretty much knew that but was hopeful anyway). I ordered a set of universal uppers from AFCO today which will be at my place tomorrow and I'll do somemore checking. I'm going to download the trial of suspension analyzer and see if I can still use the stock lowers or if I'll need to build my own. No worries though, it's all good! On with the pics. It's been a long time since an engine has been in this engine bay; I LIKE IT!!! I'll be setting it back into the firewall a ways so this is not the final location, just put it in to check clearance of the A-arms.
After that I moved on to the rear suspension and got the driver side locked down. I'll get the passenger side tomorrow morning before moving on to playing again with the front suspension.
This is a whole lot of meat for my little car...
