1974 Dodge Dart Sport rebuild
Could not catch a break on the brakes! I got the piston out but it is a little roughed up. A new piston is $33 but when I looked at the caliper, it is also messed up. I will save the originals, but for now, I ordered up a new aftermarket set. Less than $100 and no core charge. It will be fine as this car is not numbers matching and is not $80K, heck it is not even $40K, all it needs to do is stop as it should. Perfect!
The rotors and drums are still the original pieces, just made better!
The bridges, are also original
K-Frame is primed and painted with a Satin Black. Maybe should have been a little flatter. I looked into it and found that some were flat and some more of a satin finish, different suppliers I guess. If it continues to bother me, I can always spray a matte clear on it.
Ran out of places to hang parts from. Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
LCA's also got their finish coat(s) of paint.
I will give it another day or so to dry and then put the front suspension back together.
