69 Dart GT Conv. 340-6pak
All and all this weekend has been pretty productive. I got the stainless radiator hoses all welded up, sanded, and buffed. I test fitted them and they fit great, so now I'll take them and the radiator back out for the last time, so I can polish the radiator, and put the flange back in the inlet and outlet since I had shortened the necks. The next time all these go back in, they will have the gates power grips on and should not have to come out again. Since this car a street car and not a race car, I like the idea of having rubber motor mounts, but since I have the fixed radiator hoses with minimal flex from the rubber ends, I have decided to strap it, (better safe than sorry)so I've ordered a Schumacker Torque Strap and it should be here next week. Tomorrow I'll put the driveshaft back in for the last time. Hopefully the chassis ties and sway bar will be back from the coater by Wednesday and I can finish the bottom.
