'70 Dart 392 Project; what direction?
It’s been awhile, life sure got busy the last 3 months! Coming up on 2 year anniversary of starting this build. Haven’t had much time at all to work on the car but got a few things done.
Got my new shifter from brewers and installed, picked up a set of “392 hemi” valve covers, replaced the 2” drop spindles with standard ones which brought ride height up perfectly. Have just finished bending up all new brake lines and fabricating the parking brake mount and got it mounted. Got to bleed and test the brakes today and everywhere seems to be working perfectly. First time doing brake lines for myself.
Dropped fuel tank and installed the tank pad and grounded the sending unit housing. A ton left to do but it’s slight progress.
Next on the list is fuel lines, power steering lines, clutch TO bearing lines and reservoir mounting, heater hose lines, AC unit install and hoses, radiator mount and hoses, fuel filler neck, and then I get to start the megasquirt wiring. Really want to have every system buttoned up before starting that one cause once I do I will definitely be itching the crank it up.
Also obviously exhaust and I did pick up a set of 2014 challenger seats. Planning on taking them off of their track/bases and adapting them to possibly the Procar bases to keep the height down.
