The Dart is gorgeous, It has my vote. The 66 is cool also, I've had one. But I love the slant. I just finish building my slant. BTW you didn't mention the exhaust manifold. Did I catch a glimpse of headers? Norm

I have a "slightly" related question about Commando insulators...what attaches them to the valve cover? I have a set that I want to restore with out damaging the insulators. Norm

Is anybody here experiencing a real slow loading of the web site? Norm

Did this installation give you any "lift" when you tripped the latch? Norm

Did this installation give you any "lift" when you tripped the latch? I sort of copied your installation, but you still have to lift the hood a considerable height before the struts finish the lift. Norm

Good question, never gave it a thought. Every plug I've ever removed from a slant, had a washer/gasket on it. My slant right now have the washer/gaskets. Norm

A fan (propeller) story. Way back when, I was teaching a friend to fly control-line model airplanes. Regardless of how the engine speed was adjusted, he complained that the model was flying too fast, and he was unable to overcome getting dizzy. So I removed the propeller and put it back on...

I wonder if one of these could be modified to fit a 64-66 Barracuda? A good friend of mine did a 72 Duster (similarly) with indoor/outdoor carpet. It looked great! Norm

I'm sure it has been posted before, but one more time wouldn't hurt. Norm

USAF 67-87, Wish I had stayed for 30. I would go back in a heart beat and be able to pick up right where I left off. When I retired in 87, I just changed clothes, planes and hangars. I'm soon to be 78 and still at it. Norm

Do those go under the "Kframe?"

Thanks Charrlie, I got in touch with them a while back, they are rich! I may just have to bite the bullet and get them. I'm still holding out on some "2nd hand ones" maybe being out there. Norm

Thought about that, but the picture is a little deceiving. They are not torqued down and would require some extensive beating on. I'm also predicting a problem with the steering box. Norm
