1963 Dodge Dart 270 Convertible for the Wife
New NOS trunnion housing dropped off at the machine shop to finish up the driveshaft restoration. New AMK bolts for the starter look snazzy.
After running the model it was clear that 1 3/4" pipe was no different than 2 1/4" pipe from the Dutra Duals to the "Y" and with that knowledge an idea popped into my head. I bought 1 3/4" plates for the Dutras and various mandrel bent pipes for making headers from Summit. They were 3", 4", 6" and 8" diameter and a 5' piece of pipe. A little thinking and more thinking then a run into town before the welding shop closed to get some shielding gas I made the first cut. All I need to do it the easy part out past the transmission and the "Y" is now on order so we should have this done next weekend.
Yes the starter can be removed, yes the steering gear can be removed, yes I will be making shields for the starter, cooler lines and steering gear in the future.
