1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
5/3/20:
I got the Left Side Frame Connector all burned in, and cleaned / Scraped a bunch more rust proofing as well.
I also blew out a bunch of mouse nests and sand out of the frame rails. I had aleady hosed the frame rails out once or twice, but there's still stuff in there!
This car spent most of it's life in southern Georgia until 2015. I guess there is a lot of sand down in those parts near the gulf coast. Cars around here just have rust in the the frame rails usually, so to find so much sand and so little rot is refreshing.
Metal Prep after scraping a bunch of rust proof / sound deadener.
Dry Fit - Lots of wee little bits of trimming to get the gaps close.
Had to Cut a Window in this side for the parking brake cable to pass through.
All Burned in. It seemed that this side welded better.. Maybe I prepped the metal better, had tighter gaps or had a lot of practice in Overhead Mig yesterday?
Both sides, Front and Rear tied together and tied to the floor.
Torque Box(es) get installed next, Then Swapping 3speed for a 5 Speed.
