1972 Canadian H-Code 340 Dart Swinger Special Resto - Finally started!
Managed to accomplish some progress since my last post,
Replaced the u-joints on my drive shaft and cleaned up the yoke as well as freshened up the paint on the shaft,
Did some more assembly on my engine, time consuming making sure each bolt is correct with the right finish,
Cleaned up my old differential bumpers which are a bit distorted, I think the diff must have been resting on them for 30 years with those bagged out springs. Just a good scrubbing with SprayNine and a scrubbing in my parts cleaner and some ArmourAll and the rubber looks pretty good, I sand blasted the metal brackets with fine glass and buffed them up on bench grinder with a fine wire wheel and a light coat of lacquer clear, should hold up pretty good.
Then I managed to finish getting my differential together,
Then tuck it back under the car, that was a bit of a bear getting the brackets to line up but finally got it,
Big improvement from the 80's,
