Wow, thread revival. Thanks for all your info, experiences, & opinions. Still curious what MrGTX decided to do. I’m still working on my junk, hopefully I’ll get to drive it this summer if I can keep progressing.
What did I decide to do? Well, I had to prep/sell my old house, move into a new one, get laid off from my job of 15 years and start a new career in a totally new field. I has been a crazy few months. Sorry I don’t have more relevant news to report. :D
My old house had a heated garage and the new place, while much better for the family, has no such luxury which will be a setback for progress on the Dart. That said, whenever I have a couple hours to myself and it’s warm enough to wiggle my fingers, I’m generally thrashing away to get as much done as I can in the garage. Now that the snowblower has a new carburetor and the generator is tuned up, I hope to have more to report soon!
This thread is loaded with good advice from the experienced racing/handling gurus. Thanks to all who have lent their wisdom.
