Restoring a Rupp Dart super K

[Brian Smith]

I'm finally getting somewhere on the super K... been working hard to restore the frame to original condition. I had to cut off many bumpers and doo - dads that had been welded on over the years. Metal finishing proved difficult to get perfect, and I had to replace the badly dented pan. I'm going from the Briggs back to dual West bend 580s. 1st pic is with one of the motors mocked up for looks. I just painted the frame this weekend in 3 coats of single stage urethane, and will be assembling hopefully this weekend.
