My Dart won't be making it. It will be sent to a shop next week to get the finishing touches put on it and some safety concerns sorted out.

I know the feeling. I just sent out my Duster for paint the other day. I still need to put my deposit down for the engine to get built. And, I think my power steering gearbox has sprung a leak. Ugh! It's always something!

Bad timing with your Dart.... Sorry to hear that!

I just noticed that you live near where I work. I work pretty much on the Carson/Long Beach border.
 
not going to be bringing my car this year, too many oil leaks, hopefully next time. i will be there later in the day so hopefully ill be able to meet some of you and pick your brains on suspension set ups. ill be the kid with a beard wearing a black fabo t-shirt from a few years ago the one that lists the different a-bodies or an 50-60s style mopar shirt also black

Smart showing up and checking things out and picking peoples heads.

We'll see you out there. Just after lunch? Or?

Unfortunately... I think it should be making it to Fall Fling. Those "safety concerns" I'm addressing may just turn into a full-blown resto. Lol. Already have a new engine in the works, I'm going to try looking for a new transmission. Interior may be addressed as well. I'm not sure if I'm going to get them to do paint and body as well.

What motor/size are you building?

Troy has that redone 68 model year 340 (67 casting date), X-head, stealth intake, running long block for $3250. All measurement recorded. NEW: bearings, rings, seals, oil pump, gaskets, fresh hone, etc... Running on a engine stand at the show ready to drop in.

I already made the deal and really want to keep it as surprise on the forum. But it's a small block, already built, it just needs to be refreshed a little.

The car is going in on Thursday. It's getting a new engine, transmission, radiator, the safety things addressed, and a new interior.

Covina is closer to Downey than it is to Long Beach. I'm off the 10/57 freeway interchange.
