1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
12/29/24:
I completed a bunch of metalwork today.
The pan got its little repairs:
Reinstalled the metal windage screen and red loctited the small button head screws that keep it in place.
Fingers crossed as I put ~15,000 Miles on this first configuration of the pan and the screws were still tight and loctited in place when I removed them a few weeks ago for cleaning etc.
Fresh Paint looks good in pictures.
I placed some cut lines on the VC for future surgery and #6 cylinder bump.
I have probably spent 10 hours on this little part so far. It sure does not look like much, but a lot of little cuts, little hits of the MIG, grinding, finishing, and dolly work take time to complete. I want the finished product to look like it was factory-made that way.
I can soon clean up the rear main seal retainer on the engine and install the oil pan, oil pump, and distributor.
