I put a new grille in yesterday and am going to work on tuning up the engine today.
Installing the SPC adjustable UCA's I got from Peter Bergman on the avatar car. Gonna get some positive caster on this thing even if I have to grow Popeye arms!! Has to beat changing your drawers after about every other time down the track!!
Continuing the 273 teardown
I finished mocking up the new master. I had to change a few things due to tight clearance on the inner fender. So far I am happy with the way it turned out. You can see the adjustable proportioning valve mounted on a bracket under the master. I still have to run the rear brake line off the engine side of the proportioning valve.

Yesterday our car club was invited to a local "old folks home" to entertain some of the residents. We had about 20 members show up and mingle with the residents. Some of the residents had some great memories about the cars they used to have. All in all there was a lot of smiles!

I did an oil filter relocation on my W200. I used a big giant diesel oil filter mount and filter. 12AN lines and Aeroquip fittings. Kind of out front in the open but I don’t bash in the woods anymore.
Got any pics of the entire truck? It looks lifted.

It’s got a 4” lift on 33x12.5x15. Working on the interior next. Having the arm rests reupholstered and then the seat will be next.
Later I’ll have the exhaust redone.
Sweet. Great looking truck!. Do you do pulls with it? Seems like I remember a post about it.

Thank you! Back in September I did my first pull at the county fairgrounds. It bounced all over the place. I don’t know if I’ll run again this year. Maybe. I need a good set of traction bars. I don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to pulling but it sure is fun.

I took the gauge bezel off the old truck today to finally add my boost gauge. It’s a down and dirty way of doing things. I don’t need a radio anyway. Never worked. Can’t hear it over the engine anyway.
New shoes for the avatar when at the track!

Dunno...I'm told Duster/Demons have room for more rear tire than Darts? Plus with that 6-pack of yours, you might need more than these - maybe something more along the lines of Pittsburgracer's tires?? 
We saw the Dart moved on its own power, now we want to see/hear how it's doing and being driven!

Great colors!!
I'm late to posting but the 71 went to a local cruise on Sunday afternoon. Perfect weather, lots of great cars, and we met a bunch of people who came to chat with us. Fun - and exactly what these old heaps I have are for!!

I'm just chilling tonight. But DentalDart is working on his dashboard.
Found a filler/rust hell from my car. I already painted the orange sides, but found other cracked panels with way too much filler, so might as well just repaint the whole car. It will be a DIY job with every crack being sanded to metal and treated with phosphoric acid, but this time I'm going to leave that filler in, just because I don't have a place to sand the whole car down to metal. Let's hope that next time it starts to crack I will have proper resources to do real bodywork.
Here are some photo edits of how I'm goin to paint the car.
And here's an emblem test made with my new 3D Printer. It's PETG so should handle heat well. I'll see how it looks after some sanding and fresh paint.
