1964 Dart Grüne Hölle Road Course/Track Day/AutoX Project
8/3/19:
I got the Driveshaft Back, It was made 2 1/4" shorter to compensate going from a 7.25" Rear to the 8.75" Rear. Got it installed and lowered the car. The muffler was rubbing the driveshaft.. so I got a muffler hanger to pull the muffler away from the the driveshaft by about 1/2" or so.
I took it for a ride with the ride height set where the coil over adjusters for the springs don't compress the spring at all. I like the look of this ride height, but when more people and cargo was added it was scraping the tires inside the wheelhouse on some bumps.
To fix that I simply put 3 turns of spring compression into the coilovers. (raises Ride height)
Still no 4 or 5 speed transmission in there, just the 3 on the tree for now. also just running with a 3.23 open rear carrier. I have a 3.91 Carrier with an eaton Truetrac for the car when I go to the 5 speed, and get an engine that makes some power.
I bought frame connectors as well as torque boxes for the car. Those will probably get welded in when I get to swapping the trans as no matter what Trans I go to use I have to do some sort of cutting to make it work, and the carpet and other inside bits will be out of the car.
I also Fabbed up a Front License Plate mount for my European Plate. It bolts to the original bumper Mounting point in the front of the car.
Glamour Shots:
- As of right now It has the +45mm offset's wheel in the rear and the +32mm offset wheels up front - they are shaped a bit different and a different color.. hope to get 4 matching wheels on there soon.
