1965 Dart Crewcab daily driver
Well, been a fun month. My Land Rover needed new cats right before an offroad camping trip, and while it was there someone drlled the gas tank... so that took up most of my time. Parked the Dart at my buddy's shop when I went to pick up the Rover and managed to crack the oil pump housing at the pressure sender. Left it there to deal with when I got back. Came back to a beautifully tig welded housing and no leaks. Lucky break there. Camping was awesome too.
New mirror arrived, so I moved the floppy one to the passenger side. That door doesn't get slammed as often so hopefully it will hold up.
The cooling system is still holding up. Temps got up to 107 and I was blasting the a/c the whole time. Engine temp creeps up a bit at long stoplights with the a/c going, but I am not surprised. Just an engine driven fan and sitting with no airflow and 900 degree condenser will be hard on anybody. Oh, and we are back to the "temporary" old upper thermostat housing bolt...
Smooth sailing though, it's still my primary daily driver
