Got a spare tire mounted up.

245-45-17's do fit in the well... I thought maybe they were going to be too big or the well size on the 67-69 cars is smaller than 63-66 models.. either way its good to have a spare for it.

Future plans include fixing the pesky fuel filler tube...The design from the factory allows fuel to spill on hard right turns with 1/2 tank or more of gas. :-(

Here are some more arts glamour shots.. and other stuff.

My Dart in front of my grandma's house - Reminds my uncle and dad of 1964-1969 when my dad had a green 64 dart in front of the same house:

Some artsy Pics:
I go by this building sometimes on the way to parents and friend's and I love the Font of the Sign. It's totally something like I might see in a magazine ad from the 50's or 60's or something.

Nice pictures. The black and whites rock. That cute lil' artist with the Doodle Pro took me back to my own childhood and my Etch-A-Sketch.

Me too. And it reminded me of one of my favorite Dilbert comics of all time: dilbert.com/strip/1995-04-03

5/2/20:

After getting fished with some Other Projects on the Lift, Wife's Exhaust on the Ford escape, and the Jeep XJ Front end rebuild, It was time to get back to working on Grüne Hölle again.

I wanted to get a 4 or 5 speed installed by the end of last summer but that never happened.. I did however enjoy taking the car on local trips and drove it to Hershey PA for the AACA swap meet ( we will have swap meets and races again right?)

So now I am getting back to this car! Starting with installing the Frame Connectors, I got the Right one done today.. Hope to het the left one done tomorrow.

Pics:
Lay out the Areas to grind down to metal ... and scrape lots of undercoat off.
Image


Image


After a few hours of layout, fussing, grinding, scraping and welding with the car's weight on the tires.
Image


Fully welded Image


Image

Solid!
Image


All the stuff that I scraped off.. There's more to scrape.

5/3/20:

I got the Left Side Frame Connector all burned in, and cleaned / Scraped a bunch more rust proofing as well.


I also blew out a bunch of mouse nests and sand out of the frame rails. I had aleady hosed the frame rails out once or twice, but there's still stuff in there!
Image

This car spent most of it's life in southern Georgia until 2015. I guess there is a lot of sand down in those parts near the gulf coast. Cars around here just have rust in the the frame rails usually, so to find so much sand and so little rot is refreshing.

Metal Prep after scraping a bunch of rust proof / sound deadener.
Image


Dry Fit - Lots of wee little bits of trimming to get the gaps close.
Image

Had to Cut a Window in this side for the parking brake cable to pass through.
Image


All Burned in. It seemed that this side welded better.. Maybe I prepped the metal better, had tighter gaps or had a lot of practice in Overhead Mig yesterday?
Image


Image


Both sides, Front and Rear tied together and tied to the floor.
Image

Torque Box(es) get installed next, Then Swapping 3speed for a 5 Speed.
