I went by the garage the other day for a few minutes. I took some WD-40 and a Scotchbrite pad to the cylinders to knock off just a bit of surface rust. At least it was something.

Andrew and Chase are both foaming at the mouth for me to start driving my '72 Dart Swinger, so we will have to work that into the schedule soon. We need to drain the gas, give it a good overall service and finish mounting the Summit race seats and floor shifter. Should be some fun father/son/son time.

(I'd start yet another thread for this car, but it currently has a 318 in it. ) The original Slant 6/904 are still sitting there in Tucson. They may wind up back in there at some point.

I spent a couple hours of quality time over at the garage last night.

I blew out the bolt holes and various passages and wiped the cylinders down with motor oil to prevent rust.

The rest of the time was spent with the '72 Dart draining the old gas, getting it up on stands for a good servicing and going through the boxes of schtuff.

I really need to find my camera or buy another one. These posts would be better with pics.

I've started a new thread for the Street Duster where the Slant 6 will "Power On":

There is also a thread about the '72 Dart:

So,... I guess this long thread that has run since 14 March 2003 and currently has 13,335 Views has pretty much run its course.

8 years of fun and adventure!!

Thanks to everyone that have followed along and helped out with so much along the way! You all have my sincere gratitude.

The fun and adventure will continue with the two threads above along with the new and improved GodsRods Duster II:

Best of luck to Frank and Cinda Brent as they work on putting a new heart in the original GodsRods Duster and have many more racing adventures with it.
