1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build

Wednesday brought in a mass of storms so no driving that day. But I did drive the car up to the local WAM Mopar club get together that was supposed to bring some Mopars off the Power Tour last night. Not a whole lot there by the time we showed up. So some good news, some not so great news. Overall, steering is very tight, I'd say it might be just a touch easier to steer than the FR 16:1 box but not a whole lot, feels stable in corners now, the front end doesn't feel like it's floating all over the place. And here's the kicker. Up to about 50 mph, I didn't feel any pedal shake. I'm very surprised! I'll need to get it aligned and get it up to higher speeds and try it out but I just can't believe that there's no noticeable shake so far. So thumbs up for that. Some things that I wasn't too pleased with. The current height is the lowest that the front end will go with this coilover package (preload adjusters all the way out) and is about where the ride height adjusters had it. It doesn't seem all that low to me and I'm thinking it's going to drop a little bit too after some driving and I can adjust that with preload. But I think it's already lowered too much and I think the rear is lowered a little too much as well. I like the stance, but apparently it's too low for driving. As I went through an intersection last night, the car bottomed out on the headers and bent the flanges up from the little bit I could see when I glanced at it when I got home. So that really sucks. I hope the damage is minimal. Headers look like they're somewhere between 2-3 inches off the ground at this ride height.
