65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
My sandblaster guy called and said he was able to “repair” his air/sand mixing valve and could come by next week to finish the inside and all the jambs. The jambs on the tailgate will have to wait till I make a temporary harness to raise the window to remove it.
I Am getting pretty antsy looking at that white canvass in the engine compartment. So what’s an antsy fellow to do - maybe see how some things will look (or maybe even install them?). I painted the the battery tray earlier this year so that would be a good starting point. I did forget to install some old bolts where the tray bolts up and not having chased them, that was the first starting point (memo to self - install old hardware in any fasteners to avoid getting paint in the threads and having to chase them). Once they were cleaned out and the threads on the bolts cleaned up, everything bolted together nice and smooth. Then I spotted my AC drier bracket previously powdercoated by Leanna @CudaChick1968 and looking just like I received it way back when. Two bolts through the predrilled holes I did at least 10 years ago, 2 nuts and it’s done. Got a feeling everything against that WW1 white paint is gonna pop! As Ulf @65dartcharger keeps saying, the fun stuff is gonna begin!
