1969 dart rebuild !

Not my car but a buddy of mine. He'll be doing the updates from here on.

Gee thanks bro!!! I'll take over from here.

Car is a 69' Dart GT, 383, 4 speed, 8 3/4, QA1 k frame with their lower control arms and adjustable strut rods, FF uppers, disc brake conversion on the front and 11x2.5 drums out back.

I just finished the mini tubs and did s spring relocation. I'll post pics in the morning.

How did that qa1 k frame work for you? Will stock control arms bolt up to it?

 

[5.7 hemi]

They will, but I'm using QA1 lowers also.

 

[Evan Dutch]

They will, but I'm using QA1 lowers also.

Thanks, do they allow for any additional clearances?

 

[5.7 hemi]

Not that I can tell. The only thing I don't care for about them is that they don't have built in steering stops like the factory control arms do.

Here's some pics.

Rear tires just showed up from UPS.

Changed lug nuts as the chrome ones were not seating.

 

[Evan Dutch]

What size tire you running in the rear? How do they fit?

 

[5.7 hemi]
