69 Dart GT Conv. 340-6pak
Well today I started re-assembly of the front suspension. Got the beefed up LCA's on, as well as the Hotchkis struts. The Schumaker engine mounts are only finger tight, and the torsion bars are in for fit test only. I'm a little concerned about the oil pan/K-member clearance, but I'll have to wait until the engine/tranny jig get here from US Car Tool to check it and the headers. The Flaming River steering gear should be here by Tuesday, then I'll mount it. Put as much as I could together, then moved on to the console brackets install. Since I've already coated the bottom of the car, I'll be bolting in these so as not to burn the bottom coating when welding. Wish me luck,
Martin
