1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
3/28/21:
Lots of Welding, Cutting, Grinding, Hammering, shaping, checking for proper fit going on.
Pictures tell the story I think:
On the First Mock up I got a general Idea of What Needed Sliced and diced on this pan:
After the Second Mock up I knew what needed to move where... This Pan Hit the steering box side of the K frame, and Had a More Rearward Sump which was fine, I moved the Front of the sump forward about 3"
The Flat Sheet you see here replaced Bulge that was about 3/4" too far to the left.
First Slice and Dice to be able to clear the Steering Center Link - Not enough.
Final Slice and Dice on the Rear to clear the center Link:
3rd Time setting it in the Frame for a clearance check:
Proof of concept:
A Bit More Hammering on the Center Link Area, and some Slice, Dice and Hammer/ Dolly Work on the Front Corner Near the Passenger Side K Frame.
Steering Pittman Clearance at the cull left Lock position:
Idler Arm Clearance at Full R Lock:
