After about four years of body work and collecting parts finally installed driveline. As you can see from profile pic, Dart has changed colors. Driveline installed today and put the headers on the b1ba's. Custom made by my brother (68Shifter). 1 3/4 step to 1 7/8 SS with coating by QC out of Detroit. Yes, you can see a z-bar down there as well. RST clutch, red stripe proshifted 833, Action Machine Aluminum driveshaft, Strange S60, strange double adjustable in front, Viking DA's in rear, with strange lightweight discs all around
Motor will be soft for now as it is just Erson solid cam 360 at 11 to 1. It's a start I can build from though. Nice to put everything together that I have collected for so long. Fuel system is next, then wiring and finishing interior.
The Brodix heads have been a battle from the start, should have went another way but like with the stick, once stubborn, always stubborn. Head bolts, intake spacers, rocker stands, headers... gift that keeps giving
It is sure nice to clear up some room in garage. Hope to hear it this fall.

Steve, originally from Martin. Car has been tucked away as we rebuild it. Originally orange and rough, I didn't have the car out much. Hope to have it out next year... Cool. Nice looking car. If you happen to go to the Northern nats Saturday, stop by and say hi I will have my silver 69 dart there, my brother his black 66 dart( should be running with new motor by then)

Thanks for all the positive comments. Appreciate it but again have to give a ton of credit to my brother in this. I will be at the nats next weekend with him, he coordinates and races in the stick class. I was hoping to be in the lanes with him this year but oh well. It wasn't much fun laying under the car with a propane torch, wire wheels, putty knives and wire brushes removing undercoating. I am glad I did though, car is a bunch of yellow. still a couple of scars on my arms and many a foul word said... Again, thanks for the comments.
