Hi Andy do you think it'll be ready for a run down to the NSRA swop meet on the 20th . It would be great to see it

No sadly not, Mark's gone away for a week and we are still awaiting parts. Plus im juggling this and my Dart to get both ready for show season.But we'll definitely call off at yours on route to le mans classic in July in both of them.

I'll post more sexy part pictures for the C10 this weekend like the stovebolt twin cast manifold and the freshly powder coated parts.
Luckily (for me) when it's raining my car is inside, so i can work on this. Click on the link in the signature for more on the Dodge Dart.

Yep good to meet you and Rian, shame we didnt meet up inside for a coffee and compare swap meet finds. But yes we all went home happy with what we got and will be there again next year.
Great day and weather today, nice to see spring is coming. We made great progress, carbs fitted and linkages on. Stainless steel front section of exhaust fabricated welded up with stainless wire, first time I have used stainless wire and Argon gas, welded really nice. Got the timing set and rockers adjusted and fired up nice after a little bit of tinkering and ticks over sweet. Still have the accelerator linkage to install which will be replacing the pushrods with a cable, which should give better throttle response, so not road tested it yet. But just on the drive revving it I can tell it will be more responsive with the twin carbs.

forgot to add Mark had the rocker cover powder coated and his girlfriend hand painted the logo on the rocker cover and I think it really brings the engine bay alive

Mark came round at the weekend and we did an oil change and fitted a HEI dizzy to his truck.

Truck times are good times.
