I will be posting photos to track the restoration of my dart.
I will be as organized as I can.

Very cool 69 GT. My project has kind of ground to a halt.
Keep your chin up.
Mine is going to slow for a bit while I finish removing the trim and such.
Once I finish that, it's off to media blasting, and then things will pick back up .
Going to recover over the winter,( physically and cash wise) what little bit of that we have here in Ft Worth, and then back at it hard this spring.

removed the small rear end, replaced with 8 3/4 out of a b-body, did not have to move the leafs to run the 5.5BS rim.
Did move the spring perches in on the rear end though. about 1.5 inches on each side to match the stock leaf location.
going to have to remove a little bit of the lip on the fender.
I could go to a smaller sidewall tire but the 245/60 looks awesome under it.

Moving quickly,should motorvate nicely with a fresh mild 360.

If that's the Dr Diff 10.7" rotor kit, I can't really tell, I believe the caliper is supposed to be towards the rear of the car. The bleeder screw needs to be facing up. Nice work so far.
