1966 Dodge Dart

Since the last posting Ive made some additional progress. First I decided to tackle the making of the transmission lines and the install of the trans cooler along with the cable for the Hurst shifter. Things went really well after I bought a new line bender that was of decent quality! I will need it when doing the brake lines along with the fuel lines. Grainger had some great choices for what I thought was a low price. Then while doing the flaring of the trans lines my 35 year old snap-on flaring kit just got to sloppy so I had to trade that in for a new one. Good news is that all my flares for trans and brakes should be good! Ive found both an upper and lower radiator hose to fit and installed them. I moved into the interior and started getting things done for the interior painting. Again as Ive said before I hate sanding so Im not having a lot of fun at this point. In order to make this a little easier I decided to remove the dash from the car. This saves me a lot of crawling around in the car which at my age isnt as easy as it used to be. Also it should make installing the gauges and speakers in the dash a little easier as well. I plan on putting in new wiper pivot gaskets while the dash is out. Not sure if there were any leaks there but why take chances. Another thing I have realized is that the doors are going to have to be removed in order to do this right. I dont want to go that far but its the right thing to do. Im gonna rely on those here at FABO to help realign when its that time. Heres some pics of progress.
