RMCHGR, How'd you get those spy pictures? Are you a co-conspirator? I saved them from an old thread. Was looking through the contents of an old external hard drive the other day and I found them, thought they would be cool to post here. Again, I did get a few ideas from him though I don't go to quite the same extreme.

SO fellow members of this Jenny Craig club,what should I use?? Al, check out Flaming River. They make generic 'motorsports' columns that weigh like 8 lbs. Paint it black, no one would know the difference. Flaming RIver column.

Indy swap out in Indy or is it the Chicago swap? A990's are always a catch being that they are rare a probably more so than the 64' aluminum fenders. Aluminum can stick around for decades, where as steel, especially thin gauge steel can rust away easily if not stored away properly. Definitely Indy. March 3,4,5.

If I had the time, it would be cool to at least see those fenders up close. I traveled clear across the country just to retrieve a pair. The trick question would be if they are clean and not dented. Most are in rough shape. Very nice shape from what I was told.

So I've decided to take a few parts for Dad's 72 Duster under the knife. I have copied a few photo's from here and abroad to help me lighten the K frame. Kind of dual intent actually so if I ever have a problem I want to be able to pull the oil pan... I kind of screwed up out of the gate not weighing the old K frame but it really doesn't matter... I'm using a V8 74-6 style K frame and not the earlier one simply to keep everything the same as what was used on the 69 Dart. Never know when I may want to pull the 340 and slide a 416 in the Dart in a hurry... I plan on sourcing alum tie rod sleeves and possibly strut bars...I already have a Wilwood 4 1/2" brake conversion for the 10" drum spindles... Should be able to knock a fair amount of weight off... He ate two cutoff wheels and 2 sawzall blades last night...need to cut up a little flat stock and start fabbing up a few panels. Then I'm going to bolt it back in the car and mock everything up before final welding... Here's some before pictures of the victim...he's a little hinky and not the prettiest piece to start with but oh well... (maybe he's like a big girl? Knock a little weight off and have something I can work with)
...FAFO...
