fstfish66 said:just looked at all your pics,,very nice,,,thanks for sharing that,,,
im wanting to know ,,how does that front leaf spring bracket work ?? i see the cal trac type traction rod,,,but looks like the front leaf spring pivots??
very intresting
be sure to leave some type of ventilation in the cabin for any incoming air to escape. if the cab gets pressurized it can slow your et, even with everything blocked off. make a pass with all windows up and everything closed, then make one with the back windows cracked for air to escape (not too far or the starter may back you up!) and compare the times. i know guys that go as far as to install a belly pan under the engine bay to cut drag.
I have been watching this 66 and you and your dad are doing this like you have dun it before. I sure have enjoyed watching this great car come together. Hopefully I can see this car in person and park a 66 273 dart a/c show car I do not own yet next to it and get a picture.
That dart will look so mean when it is dun.
Keep up the good work and give your dad a pat on the back.
looks great,,,,thats next on my list ,,smooth out the fire wall
QUESTION how did you arrive at the location to mount the brackets for the hood shocks,,,,,i have been wondering what it would look like,,,i did it on the trunk lid of my street rod,,and ide like to do it on my cuda,,,same hood as your sorta,,,
:notworth:I've seen work turned out by supposedly professional race car shops that couldn't hold a candle to yours and dad's attention to detail. RICK
Hey man! This is a great thing your doing. You, pops and a car. Just wonderful. This seems like a project going along with a great idea without a drawing to copy from or set idea thats in stone. I really dig this thread. Hats off to you and your dad. I'll have to wait a few year IF my daughter actually has this itch. She loves Go-Cart racing. Just discovered it.
(Hummm, may be a chip off the old block (head) in her yet!?!?)
