73 Dart Sport Reanimation
After pulling trans out to rebuild and finding the convertor snout broken and broken pump gears I checked the crank end play and found it clunking in and out about a 1/4" , well so much for a quick trans repair and start driving the car. I decided to pull the engine and freshen it up. Once I has the engine out the suspension and k member looked ripe for the picking so out that came. Once I had the suspension out my OCD kicked into overdrive and I couldn't put the Jeni back in the bottle. Off to harbor freight for a pressure pot sandblaster and a total of 21 50 lb bags of plaster sand from Home depot, several hours of eating grit and one hello of a mess, I had a clean engine bay and underside.
