69 Dart 340 Swinger Street/Road Race build
Well, what I thought would be a pretty straightforward job turned into a few hours and breaking out the torch. I removed the steering linkage pretty easily, but when I went to remove the steering shaft from the steering box things took a big turn. The steering coupler was seized onto the splined input shaft of the gear box so I had to choice but to heat and beat the piece of **** off lol. Then the K member came out without any issues.
Tomorrow I will sandblast the K member and a few other parts so that I can begin plating the K member and get it painted. I also ordered my Viper brake kit from DoctorDiff with spindles and new Mopar Viper calipers. I’m hoping to buy the steering and torsion bars tomorrow. Still crossing my fingers I can get all these deliveries before the shippers get shut down from all this Virus stuff.
I almost forgot. I drove 2hrs round trip to look at a 127,000 mile 5.9 Magnum engine and it turned out to be a 5.2L, so I came home empty handed.
