69 Dart GT Conv. 340-6pak
This weekend had lots of little stuff to be done. For someone who has never done a rebuild, they would not understand how you could work for weeks and never actually see what has been done, unless you are especially looking for it. I installed the trunk weather strip. I then installed the door lock cylinders with the new lock rods that VDART (Lawrence) sent me. A shout out for Lawrence, members like him make this site the best!. I received the Cerium Oxide for the glass polishing, but won't get to it before at least next weekend. I have the interior shop scheduled for next Friday, to start on the front and rear seats. I took the head rests and bezels off in favor of new ones. I finally got around to finishing the filler neck install. Using after market quarters, I noticed that the gas cap was not centered in the recess area, so I had to make some adjustments to make it right. I had to install the gasket that goes over the neck and mounts to the trunk floor, and then put the vent tube on, with the repainted red spring clamps (I like those in that particular area). I started looking at how I was going to route the heater hoses in the engine bay. I have a repo BB a body heater hose bracket and am going to modify it to fit on the valve cover bolt. I am then going to use 90 degree bend heater hoses in favor of straight ones with large bends. I have ordered 2) two hose connectors so they will route side by side, and look a lot neater. Thats a lot of small stuff, but it all has to be done at some point...
