Re: Dave's 72 Dart
Well it's been a race between life, free time and getting the car ready. Front valance is complete and sorted in primer. Miu Ted up perfectly, so happy with the result.
It's a whole 4 lbs lighter than the stock part, so not a massive change, but it all counts.
Then the hood. This has taken A LOT ...

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
I've also started to work on the interior, removing surface rust, seam sealer etc.
I also need to get on and paint the roll cage, which i have started, but again, weather and time have limited the ability to do that work
No pics of that work so far, but started on the passenger side, so the seat is ...

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
I drove the car the 30 miles home after it was fitted by Jim, and well its a significant improvement in noise.
Car also seems to be spinning both wheels following a short test, so happy with having it sorted.
Next....
The car has been in its current visual setup for well over 10 years.

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
Well another year rolls around so what to do.
Work and life have been incredibly busy since the start of Jan 25, so time to tinker, bar the racing, is rare.
What to do......
Well, the car is where it is with the motor. The only thing I can think of next is roller cam and trick flow heads. However ...

Re: Blue's Barracuda
At least it's piece of mind on not running lean. Great insight and mods as always buddy.
I believe 2026 is supposed to be a faster year anyway....

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
That was going to be the lot for this year, but over Xmas, whilst window shopping online, I found a set of front wheels that I've always liked which would be perfect for racing. They just happened to be in the UK, in small bolt pattern, that the pre 73 A bodies had.

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
A few more things done today as it's my last chance before Dragstalgia.
Had a Grant wheel on the car for years now, but with the cage and being of the larger size, access and egress is interesting to say the least. So opted to go for a removable wheel. Grant does a kit that allows retention of the ...

Re: Dave's 72 Dart
Thanks guys.
Yeah, certain parts of the cage will be interesting to say the least.
Decided as the weather was playing ball to do the next stage today.
I'll do the interior upgrades after the summer is over, but wanted to do a few things as the carpet is now gone. Mainly wanted to get rid of the ...
