Peyote's 66 Dart -- "Wild Thing"
Lots of good progress this weekend:
Cleaned chassis and floor undercoating and rust from back bumper to wheel arch...primed and painted gloss black
Cleaned and painted new gas tank and strap
Cleaned and painted rear shackle hangers and installed with new offset shackles
Cut off the 3 remaining spring perches from the 8.8. It's now ready to be cleaned up and welded.
Removed old header back exhaust pipe
Installed oil pump, pickup tube, and windage tray in the 5.9. Cleaned up the timing cover and installed a new seal.
Waiting on timing cover bolts to come in, then I can install it and the oil pan.
Next up is:
order a new fuel sender with built in return fitting so I can install the tank.
Order the offset hanger brackets and clamp on perches so I can get back to having a roller vehicle.
Then I'll be saving money for two years to get the GTS k member and Coilover package. Once that's installed I'll be saving once more for the 200r4, eq heads, and making the transmission mount mods. After that I can install the engine/tranny and finally set my pinion angle! Lol
