Pro Touring 68 Dart convertible

The radiator/shroud/overflow tank and all the hoses are installed.  I painted the front of the radiator black so it wouldn't be visible through the grill.  I also got the trans cooler lines made with AN fittings that connect the hard line to the radiator and external cooler.  I routed the trans fluid to the external cooler first and then through the radiator.






I used some aluminum hose spacers on the heater hoses to keep them cleanly routed.  I still need to install the fender to cowl braces but the brackets I made to install them are in place.





It's the slow season at work so I had one of the shop guys make me some wooden cribs out of scrap 2x4s.  I've had a vehicle tip off jack stands on me before.  Luckily it wasn't very high off the ground and the wheels were still on it.  I don't really feel that comfortable around them any more. The cribs are super solid and I don't have to worry about the car going anywhere.  Last weekend a couple old friends stopped by and gave me a hand installing the exhaust.  Now it just needs fluids and it's ready to start.  That will wait until spring when I can open up the garage doors and not lose all my heat.







I'm still waiting on Digi-Tails to get done with my LED tail lights.  I sent them a tail light housing many years ago and still don't have anything in hand.  Early last year they sent me a picture of the prototype so I didn't think it would be much longer...but here we are...another year has gone by.
