Sir, I am confused, I thought you had this built so you could use power steering?

It does look nice, just seems to look like the factory one, am I missing something

No disrespect, just I don't understand.

Little confused with your question as well..........

This car came originally with manual steering,which I am staying with.

Not sure where power steering came up ?
 
Sorry, I am thinking of johnnyparts, who was a having a custom one built for his 3g hemi swap, and was doing it so he could keep power steering. Sorry

Johnny dart, johnny part, one letter off, cut me some slack.
 
Beautiful work!
One of the first things that I did notice were those struts. Are they home made?

Thanks for the nice comments guys !

I bought the struts about 5 yrs ago,but I cant remember where I bought them. If my memory serves me correct they were from Firm Feel.
 
That looks really good, nice job!
Are you doing a ground up resto?
Did you have the car painted and detailed on the bottom as a ROLLER with the Drive Train out on a Roller Jig??

I am about to do the same thing to my 67 and need to come up with a plan on how to get it done.
 
you did a nice job nice and clean.... not like others who spray paint over grease and grime and say they restored it. the worst thing about that is, when others will tell that hack how much they appreciate his skills

This was my first Mopar build/car. It was actually done(sort of) but I was never happy with the black engine bay. So I just recently took the motor out and painted the engine bay. I also just finished building the slant motor for it,but am kind of on the fence with a V8 conversion.

I have never had a car on a rotiseree,usually I will strip the car down,pressure wash the underside,and undercoat it while the car is on jackstands.Then you can put the front end together and then the back.
Which ever order you deside.

I will never install a motor from the top of a Mopar again.All assembly will be done from underneath. It works slick as a whistle,without as much as a scratch.

Not knowing how far you are going with your car,here is the order I would go.
1. Pull motor,trans pressure wash it.
2. Paint or undercoat underneath the car.
3. Remove interior. (If you are worried about overspray).
4.Roll the car to the painter.
5.While car is being painted,detail k-frame,front brakes,suspension,motor,trans. Have it ready to bolt in when you get the car back.
6.Get car back,either install motor/trans,or tackle the rear end.
Hope this helps.

Here are some pics of my 70 build.

PS: I saw some footage oy your gold dart.Thing runs like a rapped ape !!8)

Update :

Degreed the new Leaning Tower of Power camshaft in. Good thing because it was 6 deg's off of there specs. Centerlined it at 105...Should be fun.;-)

Also some pics of the steering column. Fresh paint,gaskets,rubber seals.
Also rebuilt the steering coupler,with fresh new parts.

Thats it for now,thanks for looking.
