1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
5/11/20:
I got some small things done Sunday and today.
I pulled some Aluminum and Stainless off and decided to Buff ( I have been randomly doing this since I got the car.) This trim level of early 60's car has alot Of britework, some of which I have kept, some of which I got rid of.
I decided to Buff up the R. Rear Stone Chip guard, and both of the rocker spears.
AL / Stainless before:
Chip Guard done, Spear to be polished.
Spear before..
Spear During Polishing..
Chip Guard After:
Polished Parts Back on car:
THe Bottom of the RF Fender has had previous patch work, there is some filler and fairly well shaped piece of metal there, It had become un-attached from the bottom of the fender, so I decided place some small welds to help hold things together:
I also decided to put an original pentastar back on the RH lower Fender, It was a quirky thing that lots of MoPars had from the factory in the Mid 60's to Mid 70's.
The Original Holes for the emblem were there, just covered with body filler, so I drilled out the filler and added the new emblem on.
Also Got the Brake line, Fuel Line re installed, and the the E Brake Cable Routed.
Windows that I cut for the Ebrake cable and tension adjustment fit into the newly installed frame connector.
Cable Routes to Left Rear through a break out window that the manufacturer includes.
Fuel line fits nicely inside the Frame Connector.
This steel clip was attached to the floor and kept the fuel line from vibrating and oscillating around, I was able to reuse it, just welded it to the frame connector.
@Matman / Badvert... Here is that drain Hole... It's the middle small hole in this picture. It sits at the lowest point when that box in installed.. so no drilling for drains needed :-)
I hope to begin pulling out the 3 speed in a day or 2!
