First off! Let me welcome you to this great site.:thumbrig:
I have been very busy with happiness
and I get forgetful some times:banghead:.
I bet there was allot going on between before and after.
Nice work and allot of it is behind you know.

I have had the honor to clean and prep for paint under there and I ain't looking forward to do my next one.
Congratulations on a great job.
I have a 66 valiant and enjoyed it everyday I have owned it.:love7:

Keep up the great work and keep us updated please =P~

Good job on that engine bay. Lots of work getting that sucker ready for paint, isn't it?

That looks great!

About your fenderwell headers, what kind and how much?
They look fantastic, and I have to do this to the 66 in a couple of months.

Any chance of getting some more pics of the holes you had to cut for them? I would like mine to look as neat as yours.

Looking great! Can you get a couple of pics of how the headers look in the fenderwells? I'm worried about the front tires rubbing on hard turns, such as parking. Thanks.

Very nice work. What a difference. I noticed you had a dual master cylinder in first pics but have single in last ones. I have a similar fenderwell header setup in my 65 cuda and am converting to a post 67 dual master cylinder but looks like its going to be tight. Did you have any fitment issues with the headers & master cylinder. Thanks & looks great.

and cleared the way for the 8 3/4 sure grip =D>

 

[pettybludart]

I don,t know why MaMopar put the 7 1/4 behind V8,s?Good to see you have the 8 3/4 in now,shouldn,t have any more rear issues.I just put one in my 66 Dart with the .489 bigger yoke,also used a driveshaft from the 73 swinger 318,904.I switched to the 7290 u-joint and it was a boltin.Mines a 6cyl.904 auto.(360 in the future)also moser axels.I went with 10x2 1/2 inch brakes and couldn,t find b.plates,so I used 97-99 Dakota b.plates and they,re fine.Let us know how you make out with your d.shaft?You,ll be able to tromp on it now!Good work!
