1969 Dodge Dart Midplate

Product

1/4" T6 6061 mid-plate for a 69 Dodge Dart using a Reid transmission.

Scope: My neighbor has a 1969 Dodge Dart and a physical blue print of the transmission layout. Unfortunaly none of the dimensions were on the print, which was extremely important for alignment of this 900HP+ rotating assembly…. so we had to get crafty.

  • First we took a high resolution photo of the print with a scale next to it for size
  • Then imported the image into the a CAD system to trace and place the geometry, including the one inch march on the scale
  • After the geometry was done, I scaled the 2D wireframe using the hashes off the ruler to indicate a 1 inch scale.
  • Extruded the geometry and produced the 3D model THAT ACTUALLY FIT!!
