The Other 68 Dart Resto Project
The restoration begins. I am thinking about renaming the car "snowball" since enertime I take something apart, I keep saying, might as well do this also.
I started doing a brake job so I could at least drive the car. Well I could not leave the drums looking like this, so I stripped them and painted them with rust encapsulator. Then I decided, since I was doing brakes, I might as well replace the rubber soft lines, so I did, with braided stainless lines. And, as long as I had the hard lines off the axle, I might as well paint the rear. So two hours later, I had the whole rear suspension off the car and only a gas tank hanging underneath!
I spent most of the day trying to get the years of leaking axle grease and dirt off the rear end, I am still not done, but I'm about 85% there, still have to scrub some crap off, but I am getting close to painting.
