Project Mayhem 70-73 Dart
Just an update on what I have done the last couple of weeks. Finished up the mini tubs (what a PITA). Installed the rear with the new axles and installed the disc brakes and the brake lines. Everything went as smooth as expected. The wheels and tires are an extremely tight fit even with some trimming on the fender lip. I have a about 3/4" of clearance inside and out, but it looks cool. Welded in a new trunk pan. Installed the 16 gal fuel cell, ran new lines, installed filter and holley red pump. Bleed the brakes and fired it up and had to take it for a spin. Drives great, but the detroit locker is already annoying. My plans are now to pull the motor again and fix an annoying rear pan seal leak and install 1.6 roller rockers that I picked up from Madart.
