"Rookie-Touring" '69 Dart

its 6:14 am are we still at it...?

Always...

Are you mounting the giant gas cap in the stock location or on top charger style?
It's either going on top of the quarter, ala Charger, or more likely on the deck-lid filler panel toward the middle of the car. At 6'6" and a 5" ride height to the frame, I wouldn't have a problem at all reaching the middle of the car to pump gas.

can you do a dry sump?...looks like somehow that motor trans has to get a little lower in there

Can definitely do a dry sump, after I take out a mortgage, win the lotto, and rob a bank. I looked into it and $5500 later I would be ALMOST finished with the system. It's an option, albeit a final option, but an option nonetheless. I really can't say how much lower the engine/trans needs to go because I don't have my freaking hood yet... No idea when I'll be getting it. I "think" I'll be okay in the current location though. This is a problem with channeling the chassis into the body, I lose a lot of clearance. Exhaust is going to prove complicated as well for similar reasons. We'll get it all worked out though.
