I was too slow typing!!! Air circulation is key.

I run fans for air movement when the humidity is high. Mold will always be an issue that you have to keep an eye on. Quick wipe down will solve that issue in most cases.

I was outside NYC and still had to drive early AM after sleeping into Long Island. Seems like I loaded 4-5 AM in LI and was home in Richmond by 12-1. Quick trip just not as fast as I may have implied.

She is a roller again. Torqued the axle fanges to 20# I could not find the values. Plenty of clearance on either side.

Amazing job. I did not go through the entire thread but I would love to know the HP a slant six should make with your setup.

I am going to install Felpro axle flange gaskets without any sealant. I have read posts including Felpro and they suggest no sealant.

Moser got the axles on a Thursday and on Friday they drilled the axles and drums. Welded up any extra holes from the old pattern and pressed the new bearings back on. Shipped them back to Virginia on Monday. Delivered on Wednesday. Less than $300 total including new screw in 3” studs 1/2”...

This is a question certainly not second guessing, but taking the engine bay all the way to bare metal, was that a personal preference for a starting point for any patch panels needed? I am trying to figure out how far to go on my dart and what you did is a tremendous effort. Great work.

Cheaper, but I am not sure about better.

I did the treadmill, pulled the axles and still got to work early. I used a chain with a hook in the big hole on the shaft. They didn’t budge so I wrapped the chain around a 5# hammer and got the momentum needed.

I really like your approach and measured steps. You have been able to enjoy it. The Power Tour is on my list!!!

Wheel adapters/spacers pushed wheels out about 2”. The tires almost touch the top of the wheel arches. After a call to Moser they will drill my axles to 5 x 4.5 plus plug the holes and drill my brake drums for $300. One day turnaround and ship them back to Virginia. More than fair in my opinion...

Cley your Duster has a great look to it. Wheels hood and color.

I love the AMX. It looks solid. I hopeyour dad is still around. You know he is telling everyone about it being in the family. My next door neighbor had a AMC dealership as part of his group. I had a new 1996? Hornet X? Little 2 door straight 6 Blood Red with a fancy interior. Not fast but it was...

New front included Tubular upper A Arms. Some metal had to be ground for clearance.

Also changed to manual steering. I used the Mancini steering adapter.

7 1/4” Rear was rebuilt and when I went to pick it up he had installed 5 x 4 SBP so being a “nice” guy I tried to use adapters. It moved the tires out too far. Now I am calling Moser to see if they can drill the axles.

15 x 7 with 225-60R15

New K member with disc brakes and all new ball joints etc and it allowed the new BBP wheels to go on.

I cut out the bad areas and my fabricator welded in the patch panels. There is a body line I was worried would be hard to save. He can access it from inside and push it out. He noted it is one of the few flat surfaces on the side to work with.

I went by my painter and his body man to have them take a look at the Driver’s side rear quarter. I was toying with the idea of picking up another full skin. After they looked at it, they felt it really is not going to be a big deal to make it right. It definitely is the easy choice.

To the public he always quotes 18 months for old cars non insurance work. They always say put me down as they can’t find anyone remotely interested. For me he usually fits me in. The plan is the fix the one quarter I am worried about. Paint my engine compartment and trunk. Then drop the motor...

The paint and Dart are so much nicer than factory. Who would ever guess the love and attention we give these cars. The 64 Corvette is detailed 10x’s the level of a production car. Inside the engine compartment fender wells, under the hood, etc is as nice as the exterior. On an original it was a...

The attention to detail is impressive. The history with the Dart is a lot of fun to read. Your paint certainly pops!

Great read from the beginning.

3 long and one short

I will count tomorrow

Does anyone know what the markings on these leaf springs mean? I could not find them on the net. I believe they were off a 72 Valiant The long number is the part number. I wonder if the other numbers are a casting or date code? 712 76 1628

You give me too much credit. I was doing the 7 1/4 based on $. I knew it was strong enough for my use.

Attention to detail is great. It is a lot is fun to see where you are going.
