Easy, nuts and bolts...

Yea but I bet he doesn’t know that in 73 they came out with left handed nuts & bolts that where double jointed. And reversed splined

Oh I have more than enough projects now. Just hate to see such a cool car get parted.

 

[pomonamissel]

well i did this cherry new yorker too . nice driven car . again no one was interested . but the engine/trans went in my 69 d200 crewcab . made it into a runner . so the fury will make great parts for a not so great fury , and the rest of the parts will make some of mine , lol .

 

[pomonamissel]

The Torsion bar support bushings came today. Polyurethane ones. Also got some upper controll arm bushings.

I got the torsion bars support bushings installed today. Easy job.

FURYIOUS & my tube chassis 64 Barracuda. As of yet unnamed.

Neither one will be on the track anytime soon. Hopefully in a few months FURYIOUS will produce a timeslip

Looking forward to that... I love watching a good "tuning, tuning, tuning" thread.

I’ve had some time to spend on Furyious lately. I got the steering shaft installed using an aluminum plate at the firewall with a bearing & I made a bracket out of angle aluminum to fit a collar bearing & bolt up to the stock column mount. I moved the seat back as far as I could without having to reengineer the seat mounts. Would be nice to have another inch. Help balance the car too.

 

[C Body Bob]

And the seat install.

And I’m just starting on the install of the glass front bumper. I mocked up a set of lite steel brackets. Not going to work. Got to go to plan B. Need something stronger. The reach is too far. Think span. Due to the long overhang of the nose from the stock bumper mount location. I’ll come up with something. Also the bumper is a bit too wide. I’ll fix that next winter. Not in the plans right now

So a little update
The weight savings so far
Aluminum steering box 16 pounds
Manual brake conversion 19 pounds
Stripped steering column 10 pounds
45 pounds total plus maybe another by using aluminum seat mounts
Glass front bumper 55 pounds
That 101 pounds. Not too shabby. More to come
