1969 Dart Street/Strip (Re)Build
Got a few more miles on the car over the weekend and made my first drive across town with it. Changed the shock settings to a more aggressive setting and it completely changed the way the car felt. I left the height alone. It was really surprising. No road scrapes on the headers but did scrape going over a sidewalk in the park on Saturday at a show. So will probably need to go up a little. Even with a terrible alignment, I can still just take my hands off the wheel and it will practically drive straight. Very tight feeling steering. Got caught up in rain and nearly sent the rear of the car out in front in a very butt puckering moment! I made sure and took it easy after that. Here's a couple shots from the weekend.
The Dart was parked wonky on a hill here
