1967 Dodge Dart 270
Got her cleaned up, primed, and back together over the last few weekends and actually got her up and running Monday. Thing runs like a sewing machine and holy crap is it a power improvement! Much more fun to drive. She rides a good bit stiffer with the new bushings and thicker torsion bars though. The alignment came out pretty good! Managed -.5 degrees of camber, 1/8 in of toe in, and a little over 5 degrees of positive caster. Better than the 0 to -1 the FSM calls for. Now just gotta get the sway bar installed, then it's off the fix the rear end. I have the rear crossmember, trunk extensions, crossmember extensions, and lower quarter skins to do next. Gonna driver her and enjoy the rest of the season though before I tear things apart again. Well, at least till after Darling's All Mopar Car Show on the 14th of September. =).
