Street / Strip 72 Swinger

Thanks- Abodybomber and jdsduster

This has been an interesting build
bought the car with no eng/trans, but a bunch of parts in the trunk.

went to secure the disc brake hose to the uni-body, found out it is the wrong bracket
was a drum brake car from the factory (/6)

While building the spool mount k-frame
had to allow for the mid plate (1/8")
because the JW bell and converter, didn't want to play well



then when ready to bolt the manual steering box in> couldn't fine the bolts.
car was in the air- looked every where for the bolts
finally let the car down, found the bolts- laying on the cowl.... LOL



never thought it would take most of the day
just to install longer wheel studs
the factory stud head is .765" then found out the moroso is .865"
so that they wouldn't seat square

rather than chuck the rotor into a indexing vice> (would have to borrow)
decided to make a locating pin to center each hole for spot facing them .100" larger
in the mill.







then while turning the rotor decided to shave off the rough casting and true it up
should help with balancing,




In case I want to try "The standing mile run"

I've notice a few cars that like to run the mile
I might give it a try> OD trans with lock up converter.
