1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
4/6/21:
Well I got sidetracked off the project for a while - The Power company took 11 Trees out of my yard that were dead for free... But I had to do the clean up - that was part of the deal... Now I am back on task.
Got the Pan all done on the outside / water checked for leaks. I used a Stock 67-76 Dart/Valiant A Body Pickup tube and the Pan was 1.5" lower than the pickup, so I had to extend the pickup tube down to the pan bottom by the same amount. - Hardware store Steel Pipe was helpful in that endeavor.... Just cut a 1.5" section and Hot glued it into the tube, and boom, the tube reaches the bottom of the pan again.
All of the rest of the work is now focused on the inside, adding Trap Doors, Pickup isolation and Baffles.
Pics:
Got a few of the leakers fixed!
First try on the pickup tube extension came up ~1/2" Short.
2nd Try; Got it down to the floor.
Next Up, Baffles, Trap Doors, slosh control, Oh my!
