Slant 6 Turbo 68Dart Project
David,
Really looking forward to seeing what you have have in store.
I know money does not grow on trees but have you checked "Offerup" yet? I occasionally see deals on there. While they do not have any cheap stands at the moment I just found this one in Menlo Park for $60. https://offerupnow.com/item/detail/76085273/atd-model-adt-7215
Had I not bought a sturdy one recently I would have bought this one. Oh, and looks like you can make an offer on it.
I myself am wavering on my build. Found a 5.7 cheap, low miles. #-o
Look forward to your posts and good luck.
Mike

Well ever since I started being my own boss, I figured I'd have some time off, but it's really hard to say no to a remodel, or custom furniture, because it's money, and as long as I keep them strung together, I have a consistant supply of money, which is good. SO for now I'm really waiting on a lull in work, but for right now I'm in high demand for at least the next three weeks.
That does still leave the weekends though...
As for progress, the engine's still sitting in a crummy stand outside the shop, and I need to build a better stand for it. After that, I'll move it over to that one with a forklift and get working on it removing all the tidbits that won't be re-used - specifically the fuel pump, broken engine mounts, intake/exhaust, water pump (just looks bad), 6 blade weird flex fan, and the valve cover so that can be modified.
I have big plans for the valve cover that will be used as a part of the turbo system, which will be apparent later.
I did, however receive my flanges that I ordered in the mail, so now when I can find some piping, I have a welder that is on standby to create whatever I want. I already showed him the drawings and he's on board. It's gonna be a bit different, but it'll work good.
