My second HS car was a 64 FordCustom , circa 1965-6( post galaxie cousin) with a 289, it needed a BIG block!!! My fav Galaxies are 65 and 66with a big big block!

Gang, I better get my order in!!!!!!

New England cars! Sorry I am NO help!

Those TV car show guys that blast a car clean before work. yea it costs $and takes some time..but they have a reason!!! Me, IF I beat the crap out of suspect metal and try to drive a phillips in it, I have an idea! Any area not totally solid and clean when trying to mig will always have...

Some bad welds??? Suspet thin metal? I give it the hammer and screwdriver tests!! Remember it is hard to get good mig welds with rusty/dirty/thin metal.

Discussing and cussing subframe connectors is like a politician or brain surgeon :poke:recommending a brand of motor oil!!:poke::poke:

A zillion threads on connectors here. Whats wrong with 2 x 4 tubing with a plate on end welded to subframe.

I checked.. Steve Magnante wrote a book on "how to build the altered wheel base car." Amazon on sale today like $23. He did an early Dart and a Ford something Fairmont? some years ago. If I was serious about a build his info is worth a few $$ I bet.

Steve Magnante's build on his AWB Dart used to be found on the puter. I do remember he cut and narrowed the front axle but I don't remember what it came off of.

I have read where the Speedway front axles are not really heavy enough for any real power. Chineezium/

Magnante built several.

Find Steve Magnate's vid and write up, step by step for AWB straight axle job.

^^^^^If it won't steer and/or won't stop...looks like to me the rest is just unimportant "fluff"!

My explaination is short and fuzzy!!!! Please refer to posts # 5 and 6!!!

Wanne be's. It free wheels all the way to one side?? There is a screw on top of the box??????

I have cut and welded grade 8 bolt, protecting the threads from spatter. Worked for me.

Years ago, we all used to think Jap parts were junk. Unless you were not yet conceived? The world is in a serious state of fuckedupiness.

If even in doubt about anything...weld it!

I guess when people ask for opinions... they get opinions.

I vote buy good factory parts and YOU rebuild the factory suspension.

Like said before , buy 2 x 3 x .125 mild steel tube. I have had BB B body 4 speed cars that were twisted and could have used a good set of connectors.

^^^^I hate that when it happens!!

I have a 64 Bel with manual steering the PO before the last O must have worked on that box because it sure goes down the road great!! Never had one that tight either.

Not sure if previously mentioned to the OP but a GOOD oven cleaner does real well in cleaning rear ends. I admit I have never lived in the rust belt, but I have restored countless Mopars and never had to blast a rear end to clean and paint one. Also a 3-4 in. wire cup on a right angle...

I have wondered why people can spend so much time trying to determine the exact amount of flattener in black for like this rear end, to make it exactly like came from Mother Mopar, and then shoot the body with b/cc!!!!!! and wet sand an buff that to an inch of it life...

When it comes to suspension, I want to do that job only ONCE!!!! Anyone with half a brain, will pay way more for those GOOD parts not junk with a "warranty"> Problem is finding a good part to buy.

I doubt you can ask Rock what their box states as to country of manu.!! Like said, lot of people buy these kind of parts based on where made and what the box says! Piece by piece if necessary.

One reason us on here can be pretty down on some projects is simply because we see so many old Mopars taken apart, sit for year, owner gave up decades before, parts in boxes parts lost, then one day they want it sold for $$$$$ and all gone. If a person has the unquestionable desire, anything...

I still wonder why guys back East will not pay $1000 shipping for a solid Tx car plus a fair price for the project. Not trying to sell anybody anything, so don't ask ,BUT why!???? ^^^^ Like Demnracer says, go for it and save another old mopar, but wow!

Cool build! I could not do this when I was younger, sure can't now!!!!
