1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
7/9/19:
Made some more progress yesterday..
- Got the housing situated and placed in car at 13 3/4" Shock Travel, 1° pinion angle up and centered in the frame rails. (as per RMS Instructions)
- Set the upper links on the housing, tacked in place.
- Got the spring perches and link attaching points fully welded to the housing.
- Polished the inner and outer axle seal surfaces on the lathe.
- Cleaned / prepped the axle flanges for paint.
- Pressed in 3" long wheel studs.
- Took the Driveshaft to be shortened 2.25" to use with the 8.75" Rear end, also Dropped off my 3.91 Chunk at the same shop to have the Gear setup in it.. I was having a heck of a time with those gears so I will pay the pros to get those set up, that chunk has ant eaton truetrac in it so it should be nice when it's installed with a real Engine and trans.
Pics of work:
Axle work:
Links Installed in car:
This trans jack sure comes in handy when doing this job...
Getting closer to Paint and Prep: - Its fully welded now.
