Meet Natalie

so now im trying to get this project warm again.......it went cold earlier this summer bcoz the original point of this car was to become a daily driver........however a set-back came when i realized that all the brakelines need replacing.....not usual for cars around here but this one did not spend its whole life in Colorado.......it spent some time in Seymour, Indiana which is where it picked up a few rust problems.

the main reason the project went cold is bcoz i aquired a 68 dart in june and its already running with no issues so after the 68 assumed Daily driver duties....Natalie found a quiet resting spot next to the barn.....
really the brake lines are no exuse for going cold bcoz how much are they and how hard are they to install....really

now since i dont need a driver anymore im bringing it back in the shop ......out comes the six ...not building a DD anymore and a 383 is going in.......i am not a fan of schumacher mounts and im finding it too expensive to track down and ship spool mount K-frames to convert to DC frames.......

i am going to attempt with this car to fabricate a Big block K-frame by using a slant six frame..

the 383 is not functional yet so basically this weekend ....the car is coming in ......the six comes out.... then the measuring and mock up happens for the new K-frame now labeled "project A256B"
