    1969 Dodge Dart GT “driver” build

    Made it to test and tune a couple weeks ago (either spins or dead hook/bogs) This was my best pass. The yellow swinger ran low 7's (408 4 speed). I got to see what my car would look like if it was nice :lol: doppelganger!

    1969 Dodge Dart GT “driver” build

    The problem is the package tray fills up with water so I can't have speakers, etc...... It sounds like the Steele gaskets might be better but they have mixed reviews also. If only I had known 10 years ago I'd of been extra careful with the factory one and reused it.

    1969 Dodge Dart GT “driver” build

    Front windshield was leak free, rear on the other hand.................Leaks like a sieve :poke: The rear glass moved around quite a bit in the gasket (half covering the glass/half in the pinch weld)

    1969 Dodge Dart GT “driver” build

    The car was parked outside overnight last weekend and got rained on, after dealing with the puddles inside I decided it was time to fix it. I noticed the front seal was torn at the bottom all the way across, I filled the drain holes with sealer, and the hole that I didn’t know about wasn’t...

    I think you've got it backwards. The extra .2 degrees of caster on the right is for road crown (RF wheel is further forward than the left)

    1969 Dodge Dart GT “driver” build

    I’ve been trying to figure out why the car pulls to the right, fine tuned the alignment last night after work. Still had a pull….. Last thing I had fixed was the O-rings under the gear box pressure valve (must have been slightly too far back). After a few taps back and forth on the valve the...

    1969 Dodge Dart GT “driver” build

    Made it to the track, first time ever with a stick car. Wheel hop was terrible, best time I could muster was 8.70’s 2.13 60ft. Installed the trim when I got home. I’ve got to pick out the side tape (thinking I’m going to go with a non traditional pattern) Going to have to bust out the...

    1974 AMX Javelin

    Researched internally regulated alternators and found a CS130 Chevy alternator from an 86 s10 fits. Figured if I have to rewire the engine bay mine as well get rid of the voltage regulator. Currently have it upside down to make sure it works (had to space out the pulley 1/8" and find a longer...

    1974 AMX Javelin

    Jack let go on the cherry picker. Ran in the house for a minute and when I came back out the engine was sitting on the ground….. Harbor freight had one in stock! Went to bolt on the flywheel and the weight was jammed against the torque convertor mounting pad (Hoping it didn’t hurt the...

    Yep, it’s a 360. Evidently it’s a know issue with the aftermarket water pumps.

    Put a couple hundred miles on over the weekend, scraping everything in sight. Took the lowering blocks out and raised the front 1/2”.
