Start of a Dart
Out of the blue, one of my competitors stopped working so I've been super swamped lately. It is for sure the feast after the famine. I can't complain too much, it's nice to see some moolah going into the checking account lately. And the heater for the shop took a crap as we hit the middle of winter, so I wasted a bunch of time trying to fix it, then replace it with a defective unit, and so on. I dug out my old stand-by so at least I can work without mukluks and parka. And Bernie Mittens! :D:D:D
Progress report, even though it's on the truck which is just like a Dart but bigger. Oil pump and dizzy are rebuilt. All the engine sheet metal is cleaned, prepped, and painted.
The intake and exhaust manifolds got a gentle porting and clean-up, they are off for a date with the hot tank tomorrow.
The block has the cam installed and is getting the rest of its innards today so I can get the measurements and have the head shaved.
Next up, go through the tranny and do all the seals and whatnot.
