better then me, took me several days of trying to get the door aligned on my stealth
Mitch you getting the rain from Mathew there?
Just some showers...and it looks like only until 10 am...then Sunny and windy..
and I need advice. the frame rail on my 74 dart is rusted out right under the upper control arm mounts, Carl Gerst made me new mounts out of .25 steel, was gonna use those, but I have this 70 dart here, so i was just gonna swap the frame rails instead. however, I went to cut the 70 rail out and tapped along the frame with a body hammer..... its rusted out and very weak as well. So back to the fabbed mounts, but im thinking of making a cap for my 74 rails, kind of a U shape out of 1/8th steel, then tie it to the fabbed UCA mounts, then tie that to the roll cage bar that'll be running thru the engine bay, thoughts?
That should be plenty strong.
To be honest... I do feel like I was lucky it didn't involve more time, since the doors were not the originals. I remember taking DAYS to get the doors right on the RR Restoration.
that was my problem with the stealth, the door came from a donor
Not quite as bad on mine...
The more door was fun after the rear skins went on, you cannot get 4 door skins only 2 door and have to cut them down. That sucked for sure, never again for me.
Same on the GTS... The originals were too far gone..
I actually have some door hinge shims from the belve if any one needs them never saw any before.
I got the steps for the truck yesterday, hopefully get them on today.
Steppin up in the World... Are ya ?
These, should be able to get it on the lift then.
This is the Idea with the 65 Post Car
Marilyn definitely needs one, that truck does sit high, looks like a factory? lift was put in maybe 2" or so.
ouch, how are you gonna repair those?
I ran a set of those, I didn't like them so i took them back off. I kept getting my boots caught/tripped in them
I really like that. Andy;s has the same look but ss craigers on it.
Here it is.
That a 66 or 67...Different Body...
66. It is a cool car. slightly worked 440. Pretty nice though.
