1969 Dart Pro touring daily driver **Crashed**
Thanks guys. So I thought about what was said and decided to make the J-bar support plates bigger despite what I said about the plan to install a cage in the future. Its probably worth it just for the next few years and even with a cage it could be good to distribute the loads to the cowl so thanks for the advice! The plan is just to weld the old plates on to the new ones so there is an extra thick area near the bar.
I started sanding the engine bay and patching some holes, I noticed a pretty big dent in the sheet metal near where the top of the shock mounts. Really have so idea how this could have happened, maybe during an engine removal/placement in the past?
I also painted the chrome section on one wheel with plasti dip (non permanent removable paint) just to see how it will look.
