1966 Dart GT Mini Refresh

Those were taken right after the third coat. Even prettier once it flashed out. I will get a pic in the sunlight this weekend hopefully.

The trunk area I just blended in the areas that was worked on and did not do the whole trunk.

Now to paint the engine and get it back on the road.
 
Some out in the sun pics.

Overhauled the Edelbrock and got it installed. Woodruff has had my original for 3 months and I don't even have an estimate yet, we will see what the hood clearance is like as I want to drive it again. Also the alt and little details on the firewall.

Plugging away. replaced the smoked wiring connectors with better quality connectors and moved them to a slot that was not used. Waiting on the Master Cylinder from Dr Diff to seal the brakes up.

Pretty much buttoned up under the hood. Grille and bumper are on. I will leave the headlight bezels off till I paint the exterior. Right now it's time to drive it till next summer.

looking great. I have been living a dream through your hands. Always something I wanted to do but didn't take the time. Thanks for letting me tag along.

Thanks Mike! I had a vision when I bought this from you and hopefully I will get it to the finish line in a year or two.
 
Back on the road. Did a quick alignment and drove it out. Set the timing and started to take it around the block and had a thunk, thunk, thunk from the rear. Back on the lift. Pulled the tires and took a good look. Axel end play was waaaaay to loose. Was tight when first assembled bit sometimes the axles don't seat until a little movement. Made the adjustment and all good! Brakes are awesome and the 3.55's make a huge difference!
