"Rookie-Touring" '69 Dart
Another great day working on the car. Here is what we got done.
First we welded in the front UCA mounts
Then we added bracing for the floor supports
Then I spent some more time on my bumper mounts. Still more work to do but they are far enough along that I could weld them in, so I did.
Then Greg (chopsmitty) showed up with the rest of my brackets and tube for the front LCA's. Here is the mock-up of the front LCA mount. Another HUGE thanks goes out to Greg for working with me on these brackets and for all your help.
Motor plates and mounts
Rear UCA and LCA mounts
The front suspension will be finished tomorrow less the shock mounts (I'm buying shocks this year and will install those next Christmas), steering rack (again, ordering this year for next Christmas), and the other pieces of the front cross member (hopefully can get that finished up in the next couple days as well). Lord willing I'll have the rear suspension mounted less shocks and toe links.
Tonight I also started working on my rear cross-member that will pick up the rear bumper mounts as well as an idea for a new core support. Unfortunately I forgot to get pics of those and I'm too tired to go out and take them now. I need a shower and sleep. Bis morgen!
