1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
5/16/19:
The Rad is all in and pieced are getting prepped, blasted and painted.
I mocked it up the other day and filled will coolant and started the car.. It has 2 small leaks where I welded the -16AN bung to the 2.2 style straight thermostat housing... so I pulled that off and reworded and painted it tonight.
Got it all back together and went for a drive - no leaks!
I am trying a get a bit more sinister look from the front end as well... so everything will be semigloss.. and the 64 Dart grille was a but smashed and trashy so It's a wall hanger and the 63 grille will get a coat of semigloss and get put in it's place.
Pictorial:
Rad and one side tank of that rad are painted and give the factory blackout look behind the grille.
Swap meet '63 Grille eagerly awaits it's turn to be installed on the car.
Up Next: Grille install, New Prop Valve fiddling, Baer Rotors, EBC Pads, then maybe the Rear End Install / mockup.
