1970 Dart GT - A day in the life

She has been parked for a little over a year now.

7.25 Rear End finally croaked after 36 years!

I bought a 7.25 and Front Disc Brake setup from a 73 Duster to convert her to BBP and Disc Brakes.

So, Went to put the BBP 7.25 in to get her back on the road.......
Then decided: Now is the time to replace the Leaf Springs too - Right?

Bought a set of SS Leafs from Summit... the Springs arrive... go to put them in... freakin' B body springs! UGH. Summit puts me through phone hell (they try to blame me for ordering wrong Springs - NOT!) trying to exchange them for the correct A body SS Leafs. No go, they finaly agree to refund my money and pay for return shipping.

I then find out a member of the Middle GA Mopar Club has a set of HD A body Springs he bought and did not like on his Demon. Great deal was reached and I now have correct Springs.

Then I tweak my Sciatic Nerve... down for 6 weeks.
NOTE: I do not recomend doing this to yourself unless you REALLY enjoy pain!

August 2008 - Now have the new Springs in - of course the Brakes are shot. New Brake parts ordered and received 9/05/08.

More later,
