408 Build Thread
The core support brace is welded in and I've started stripping the engine compartment. My painter came by the other night and says that all I really need to do is scuff everything up real well and he'll take it from there. He's gonna shoot it with some adhesive promoter and then a layer of primer. We'll see what it looks like with the primer on it and see where we need to do a little more smoothing. Here's a shot of Joe welding the brace in.
I got a bonus from my company last weekend for reaching my twenty year anniversary! They gave me a $500 gift card which I immediately turned around and spent on parts for the Dart. I bought Poly Loc engine mounts and a transmission mount.
I also bought a PRW SFI rated flexplate. It was $35 cheaper than the B&M piece I had been planning on buying and several other members have had success with it.
I also bought a set of TTI reducers for my headers.
I also scored some misc ARP bolts, a new dip stick and tube, and a good carb base gasket.
