New A-body! '71 Dart GT, EL5

Thanks AutoX! As many times as I've been to Barry's site I always miss something important!

Yes, its a swinger as well, A61 on the buildsheet. Also lists A01, "light package". It does have an 8 3/4, open with 2.76:1 gears. It doesn't have disks though! It has HD (11") drums up front. From the '70/'71 registry it looks like this was common for the GT's?

Yeah, finally got the brakes taken care of on the chally, what an ordeal. Hate it when parts just don't fit. Hopefully I'll see that one up close and personal at spring fling, with any luck I'll have the challenger there. Mine's a console with A/C car too...swinger thing? Just when I thought I knew a couple of things about the e-bodies I go and buy an a-body...

The HD drums would have come with the 8 3/4 axle. But that all might hinge on wider tire option? What does you build sheet show for tires?

I forgot if the car I pictures has and 8 3/4 or not. That car is real close to yours except for the A61 package, rallye lh mirror, and GT package. It would be weird for them both not to get 8 3/4's.

BTW could you go back an edit your post with the three pictures across the page? Put the code on seperate lines so the picture are vertical.
Like:
(img)(/img)

(img)(/img)

(img)(/img)

Instead of:
(img)(/img)(img)(/img)(img)(/img)

Right now this thread is hard to read because the picture go across the page and you have to scroll from left to right to read anything here.
