1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
Time for some updated pictures!
Got some used tubular UCA's from a member long ago so I got them out, cleaned and painted them. Turned out pretty sharp.
Then I decided that the engine bay paint was far from being nice so I polished it up which took about 6 hours. I used Meguiar's Ultimate Compound for this.
Right side of the pic is polished up, left is not. It's hard to tell in pics but it made a HUGE difference in the luster of the paint.
Passenger side fender done, driver's side is not. Still hard to see the difference it made but I will tell you it was a lot.
A little blood, sweat, and BEER!
Spool and new Richmond 4.10 gears in the 489 case.
Old cruddy throttle cable had to go. How about a Lokar upgrade!
And now the brake lines. Whew these were in bad shape! Look at the corrosion!
Old cast vs. new aluminum. I think we dropped at least 5 lbs here.
Double flare
For some reason I didn't load the picture of the finished lines but here was some mid point in running them
