'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?
Few small things done today. Had to pickup new sway bar bolts/nuts. The ones supplied from Helwig through HDK were coarse bolts/fine nuts and stripped out. Then I Got my wheel bearings packed (used the Lisle bearing packer for the first time, thing is awesome!) and rotors/calipers/wheels actually on the car. Still need to roll tranny under the car to check trans crossmember alignment before setting it on the ground to check ride height but its progress!
Next week I’ll be finalizing my steering column mods (got the new floor shift collars in that need paint) and then I’ll be hauling it to my buddies shop after Christmas to do the trans tunnel welding and maybe spring relocate kit. Could do it here but he’s done both before and is a welder/fabricator by trade. He also runs a ‘70 duster with a turbo’s slant six :) so we enjoy helping each other out on the auto projects!
