1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years

if you find it gets a little tight where your bulkhead connections and drivers side valve cover both fight for space..... HDK makes this slick bulkhead set-back.

I contacted Denny and got one of the Set-back bulkhead connectors. Quality, fit, and finish are outstanding. What a difference this makes especially with a Hemi install, however, this will complement any build and give you tons of room for your harness.

After: HDK Set-back Bulkhead Connector

I don’t get updates from this thread anymore (enter sad face here) but just got caught up. Everything you’ve done up to this point looks fantastic.

I had the same problem, it's because he changed his name all I had to do is un-follow and follow again...I've getting them ever since now.

She's looking fantastic! You and Sean are doing an awesome job with it!

 

[Scott_ 69HemiDart]

I would expect nothing less from all the outstanding work being completed.........................no hack wiring here

Do it once, do it right.

Do it once, do it right.

Exactly............. especially this once and a lifetime build

Paint that radiator black for crying out loud.

Ok just checking to see if I am nuts or something. Back to watching awesome Dart resurrection.

I also was wondering if I was losing it! Lol

Paint that radiator black for crying out loud.

Still deciding on that...............

 

[dadsbee]

Still deciding on that...............

Well here's two trains of thought on it.

One it looks correct...

Two Black actually dissipates heat !

If you decide to paint rad black, use black trim paint. Your car, but I share the opinion of black. Here is my Smith's aluminum radiator painted with black trim paint. Much less glaring when you open the hood.

Wow. First time that I have seen this thread. Great job! I look forward to seeing this fantastic car somewhere down the line. I have been invited to display at MCACN, and, seriously trying to find a way to hit Carlisle also. Have not been there in well over a decade. It's a pretty long haul from Texas. But, anyway, kudo's for keeping this car like day two. I am duly impressed to say the least. 2.9 miles... wow, again.

Scott either I missed it or it hasn't been mentioned, has the thought of a limiter come up? It will limit the ping pong effect with the elephant ears from acceleration and deceleration. I have one on my car because it has a front and mid motor plate. If I missed it, disregard but if not you might think about one.

Thanks, Bill, I had to look this up, the car already has one...............
