Whats everone working on?

Just to get it going What is everone working on?im working on getting the zombie running having a few probs with my timing that i cant fig. out and the idea af tearing down the engine to set the cam right with a wheel!

I'm working on my Cheeby truck. I pulled the catalitic coverter off today & knocked out the insides that were rattling around, I have to replace the A/C compressor, rebuild/replace the tranny, a brake job, replace the front & rear seals and put new shocks on it.

I finally got around to putting the right power valves in. I adjusted the Caltracs. I also fixed an exhaust leak.

Been helping my brother off and on working on his 69RR.I did all i can to my car until i get my roll control from Jeg's and ordered an aluminum master cylinder from HawaiiDuster :D Other than that yard work :(

preliminaries on my Valiant. tearing the carpet out to find all the spots in the floorpan that need to be replaced, and replacing the carpet itself...
finding rust panels for the rear quarters... and planning what all needs to be done to get it looking good..
but right now, brake job, and monster tune up.

Hauled it down to the shop today for its preliminary wheel alignment, then need exhaust, windshield, seats, wet sand and polish, work the bugs out....... I hope I'm done this year!

I am working on wiring the 7AL-2 in my Dart. Once I get that and get the battery relocated to the trunk...then it is on like popcorn.

Whoo hooooo

My NOS go whoooop whooooop!
That is a cool pic!

Thanks....you should see the actual picture. You can see bolts flying in the air. The hood scoops came off with so much force the one on the driver's side hit the roof right above my head and dented the chrome and the roof but didn't break the fiberglass scoop.

It ruined the steel hood...if you noticed it almost ripped it from the hinges in the back. But I am happy to say I made it back for first round. Car ran fine...just ran out of nitrous. LOL.

Dodge Tuff and keeps on Tickin!!!

I did spend a few hours the other day sorting through the pile of parts that we threw into the K-car when I picked it up. Pieces of a red interior and pieces of a brown interior, but not enough of either one...

LOL...I am probably gonna start putting the Pep Boys carpet in the back of the Dart tomorrow or Tuesday. But I need to finish the wiring of the 7-AL so I can get ready to return to competition.

Man...I love the look of your car from the back. Those meats make it look so tough.

Man...I love the look of your car from the back. Those meats make it look so tough.

It's funny to watch people look from the side and then look from the rear. From the side you don't realize how wide the tires are. 10 inch rims with 7 1/2 inch backspacing. 28X13.5 inch tires. Stock wheel opening.
http://bbdart.com/mycar/tightfit.jpg

Hehe...I wish I could say the same....

29.5 x 10.5w x 15 Mickey Thompson slick on a 12" wide centerline with a 5" backspacing. I will confirm that tomorrow.

Ok, 25 posts. Time to go home...

LOL...it is time for me to go to bed....nite nite.....thinking of the Dave Chapelle Show....just after saying that.

Anyone that seen that commercial knows exactly what I am talking about.....LOL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Sledge your Dart really looks HOT....literally :P At least yours is coming together, mine is still in a holding pattern :cry:

opps

Hawaii if yours is in a holding pattern mine is in high orbit. I went home this weekend and pulled the car cover off. Its like going to a family grave site. I felt like I had to do something so I gave her about the sixth coat of wax this year. Checked the trash bags around the old short block and shed a tear. Promised her "one of these days" and covered her back up. Put a little water on my money tree seeds and left.

I know the feeling :( My money tree dried up and died :cry:

My money tree got pruned big time back in 2001 thanks to 9/11. I am not happy that it is now almost 3 years later...and nothing has changed on my car. The only thing different soon is that I will have hooked up the transbrake. I have never used the brake on the Dart. Otherwise the motor is the same motor that came with the car back when I bought it over 10 years ago.

I am thinking about building a 392" Hemi from PAW. Has anyone had any experience with them or seen that kit?

Hey Sledge your Dart really looks HOT....literally :P At least yours is coming together, mine is still in a holding pattern :cry:

Hawaii....thanks....I don't get many compliements on the Dart due to its rough exterior. That is why I primered it....I got tired of looking at it different colors and it was not fast enough to be that ugly. I wish now the money I spent on the Chevy II and the RV I had acutally put into the motor. It would be a whole different ballgame then.

If I stay with the small block..then I want to go with a blower or turbo. Just to be different. If not then I will try to go with a 392" blown Hemi.

I am looking at the PAW kits right now and surfin some of the sites like Goodguys and stuff looking at Nostalgic class racers to see what is out there.

I have a problem with buying cars I don't need and wishing I had put the money into the cars I already have. I sold a Z28 about 2 months ago, I had only driven it about 3 times in the last year and can't remember why I bought it in the first place :roll:

Ive got a bunch of stuff to do. I still need to get my fuel cell in and plum the system. Move the springs in and mini tubb it. Right now Im cleaning up the rallye dash I scored at the swap meet last weekend.

I still havent decided on tire size yet but I want BIG !
I was thinking of stuffing some 30X13.5 M/T ET-street under it.

All I know is the Hemi scoop make my currant tires look small. :shock:

Fastback are ET street tires narrower than true slick? If they are not how do you plan on getting them under the car without going to full tub with new frame rails?

Yes ET streets are measured by section width. They are actually 30 X 11.5"

I saw that picture 3 times and didn't notice the hood scoops flying in the air untill you mentioned it

Working on my Carb Setup. Just got my Thermoquad back from DemonSizzler and need to get it mounted. Trying to keep her as stock as possible and still be reasonably fast when I need to be.

I saw that picture 3 times and didn't notice the hood scoops flying in the air untill you mentioned it

I didnt notice till you said something :shock:

Hell, I didn't vcatch it either till I saw Dartsport comment on it. I was awed by the flames coming from under the hood.

Sorry it was destructive, but gosh what a cool photo.

i say them the first time but didnt even think that it was them!HA bad ass pic man :twisted:

I didnt even relize it was a real pic untill sledge said somerthing about it, i thought he had doctored a pic with some flames to make it look cool.

Well i brought the bomb home from the body shop all new metal but looks worse that it did when i took her there, anyone want come help throw the drive train in and wire her up with me, Free beer and pizza just have to provide you own transportation :lol:

id come help chad! if u let me take that nice new ram in the trails to see what she could do!Oh and if i was in Texas!HAHA

come on Mike she aint no city truck it goes where ever it has to. When Craig come down we are going to go mud ridding and if he comes during hunting season he will get the grandest of treats.

I should know by the end of the week when I can get off this rock :roll: Need to get away for a while. You guys are lucky, you can just drive to the next city or state. If I start driving I end up in the same place in about 2 hours. This islands only a little over 40 miles across :cry:

hey mabey if u go fast u can make the leap i mean your in a mopar! :P

Wish I could :lol:

Chads in the same boat he is on an island when it comes to living in Texas. New Mexico is his best bet or he will be driving all day. I live in the middle and it takes 6 plus hours to get out of the state at the nearest point. And with our open container law on the books it sucks to ride anywhere thats more than three hours away.

I know the feeling, I lived in Abilene for 4 years :roll:

hey Tex this aint no Island this is an arm pit, the arm pit of the world, come on Craig and I will take you down to jtown for a run at the house of the rising sun and you can throw dow a couple of shots and call it good.

Haven't done that in years, I think I'm due :lol:

Just finished getting my bucket seats back into the Duster.... Not sure why someone tossed buckets for a bench but hey... Got the console in and jsut going to egt a bracket welded up so the Hurst sits up high enough in the console. Think I'm goign to end up buildign more of a bracket for the rear the consoel seems to shake somewhat when the car runs... :roll:

open container law? sucks to ride anywhere more than 3 hours away?
**somewhat confused...**

Removing everything from the Dart Sport to ready it for the bodyshop....

Just installed my rebuilt 8 3/4, rebuilt the front suspension and installed big block torsion bars and XHD rear springs.
Tonight I lined up all the sheet metal and adjusted the hood and doors. :D

updated:
i should say im working on getting her for real road worthy.
i fixed the rearview, it just swung about when the car moved, but i tightened the screws on the metal plate that hold it and put it back on, all good.
fixed the turn signals, they wouldnt blink, then i started messing with my flasher, and i figured out that it was to blame, it would flash once, then the light would struggle to go off, but if you tapped it, it would flash and struggle again, so i grabbed the flasher out of my sundance, ALL GOOD NOW. i love getting all this piddly crap taken care of.

Finishing a front-end rebuild that ended up turning into a front brake job as well. I'm missing one of the brake pad retainer clips on one caliper, and can't find a replacement anywhere (parts stores, dealeship, online). Any ideas?

Kinda wishing I had the front drums at this point. At least parts are widely available... :x

Gettin' desperate!!!

1) A little body work on the Scamp
2) Almost completed installing the 319 in the kid's Duster
3) Scored a big block Loadflite & Dana 300 transfer case for $50 (guy didn't know what he had) - all of a sudden the Town Wagon will go big block & 4WD. Picked up a nice hood & drivers door for the townie - a little bondo & paint for them.
4) Found a NOS windshield washer system for the '49 T&C - I've been looking for 8 years for a winshield washer I could afford for that one. Woo Hoo !!!

49 T&C

Who flies into ElPaso Chad? Soutwest? Are they the only ones? I've been in your neck of the woods back in the 80's hen I lived in Dallas, and as MidTex said, its six hours to anywhere in that state. The running joke when Ilived there was that the best part of texas was the middle for you were already half way out.

I obviosuly don't intend for that to offend anyone for the best place in KS is somewhere else, so hoepfully I won't get any shXX for my candidness.

America West and United also fly into El Paso, so they say :lol: I'm going to try America West.

most likely will be cheapest on South West. They are not that bad you get nuts and everything maybe just crammed in like a sardine can but what the hell its only an 1 1/2 HR flight.

Hey Steve, you know how to find Teaxas?? Go East to you Smell it and South until you step in it :lol:

I Al you know how long a girl staya a virgin?? As long as she can out run her brother :oops:

just thought i would throw those in there for you.

Those last few sound like KY lines to me.

Im working on making more money to buy more parts :D

Id like to go Big bolt patern and get some frame connectors and a cage.
Then rims and tires. Its a never ending list :?

I working on headers and exhaust right now. Next is trans shift kit, deep pan and cooler. After that I want to get the 8-3/4 rear end I have rebuilt and installed. Oh, and then there's the 360 I want to build.

I'm working on getting off this island. Finally got tickets to fly out on 6/4, next Friday :D Gonna take care of some business in Vegas then fly down to El Paso and see what kind of trouble I can get into with Chad 8)

Just got it back with the new Auburn diff and a set of 355,s. Next I need to pull the plugs and have a look see, I'm hearing a popping sound at the tail pipe,drivers side, when at an idle, not sure what that is. Also need to fix valve cover leaks at the rear on both sides,its spewing enough to make smoke when I shut down, can't seem to get those buggers to seal, they are the aluminum mopar covers, any suggestions? :roll:

I saw that picture 3 times and didn't notice the hood scoops flying in the air untill you mentioned it

HEHE...I got to see them real close. I almost had the one on the drivers side kiss me in the face. Luckily it hit the roof and not the windshield cause if it did...it was coming through.

I ruined the hood...and in anger almost threw the scoops away till someone came by and asked what I was going to do with the scoops. Then I thought...hmmmm I better hold on to them. I am glad I did....sold them on ebay for $270 last year...whoo hooooo. And to think I almost threw $270 in the trash!!!!!

I get lucky for once!

Hell, I didn't vcatch it either till I saw Dartsport comment on it. I was awed by the flames coming from under the hood.

Sorry it was destructive, but gosh what a cool photo.

It wasn't as distructive as it looks. I made it back for first round and the only damage was to the hood. Motor was ok....slow but ok. (I can't believe I am calling a 10sec motor slow...but when I am sitting beside a 7.40 car it is real sloooooooooow) And that is 7.40's in the 1/4 not the 1/8...LOL.

I am going to be working on me tonight.......I am going to the gym. I am frustrated and need to move some weights to hopefully burn off this frustration and some of these pounds.

Chicken and Tuna starting this weekend......

...I am frustrated and need to move some weights to hopefully burn off this frustration and some of these pounds. Go for it sledge! I've dropped 20 since January and am loving it (so is the wife). WALK alot and gym it every night possible. I had to pay someone to rewire my ignition - and I HATE to pay someone else to work on my car - because I was too busy but it was money well spent as I feel great.

Packing up the garage to move. No fun. Damn, I wish I had been more organized over the past few years! Though I have found some things I thought I lost or gave away.

till tyrin to get the dart runnin! :roll:

Finally got my 1968 Formula S Barracuda 383 on the road. I found the car in Atlanta in 1985, I took some pics of it and showed them to my dad. He had to have it. (He was puttering around with a rusted out 340 Cuda at the time. So in 1986 or so he went down to Atlanta and trded my buddy Jerome a 340 6 pak intake and carbs for the car. He slowly started working on it, a little bit at a time, while still playing with the 340 Cuda. Then in 1990 he died from a massive heart attack , at the age of 52. So Since Febrary of 1990 the car sat in my moms garage.Until about 2000 -2001 ,I made the mistake of going to a local Mopar meet. The bug bit me again. ( I have had many mopars ,72 RR GTX 440 -4 speed Dana, 70 Super Bee 440 6 pak Dana, which my brother still owns,AAR Cuda,69 RR 440 4 speed etc....) So now it was time to drag the old Barracuda out and start playing with it. Which is much more difficult these days , with a wife ,a mortgage and 2 to 6 kids, We are foster parents too so you never know how many kids from day to day are going to be living here ! Anyways after 3 years of puttering around with it it is on the road again, still have lots of work to do though, it never ends, hopefully next year I will have a stroked 400 in it :D See my Album to view it . Fasback 383.

nice.
thats all i can say.

Packing up the garage to move. No fun. Damn, I wish I had been more organized over the past few years! Though I have found some things I thought I lost or gave away.
I am not looking forward to the day that I have to pack my garage to move....packing at 32ft x 42ft shop is not going to be fun. I will have to move into something bigger. I can't believe that I am already saying that this one is too small. I also know I will never stick build another garage. My next one is going to be of polebarn construction.

till tyrin to get the dart runnin! :roll:
Get crackin.....100 plus posts...hmmmmm LOL...just bustin ya chops.

What do you have to do to get it running?

Me....run some wires...mount a few relays...put some fuel in it....but I a have been hustling and making marketing calls to make some $$$ so I can play with the car more. So that is also why the car has stalled on progress.

68 BArracuda...From old /6 to new 360 mildly built, 340 resto tortion bars, Edelbrock cam kit, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, Edelbrock Performer intake, Headman Headers, Mopar mini starter, 8.75 rear with 3.23 suregrip, and air shocks. :wink:

Working on our 68 Cuda. Hopefully have it together to run some before the snow flies this winter. My wifes been on to me to get it running so I guess I better get with it or she might leave me and take it with her. That wouldn't be cool at all. She's a good cook and well the cars a mopar, nuf said!! :lol:

Well I the wife says get working on the Cuda, I suggest you do just that. Not very many guys can say that their wife would say the samething, most would say to get rid of it :lol: You're one lucky guy :wink:

I'm in the process of finishing a 67 Dart GTS w/383. The motor, paint and interior are done other than a few minor pieces. Next is a new gas tank, fuel lines....

All I need now is some time to get to it......

I am going to pull the valvebody out of the car, it was sticking in first gear, when put in neautral and reverse. Shifted fine from first to second and second to third, I went to bring rpms up on the starting line after activating the trans brake , and the car backed up out of the lights??? At the end of the track it went back to working totally fine. I think a small piece of dirt or metal is hanging up the valve body..

working on saving up money to work on my 73 duster

what i will be working on when i get the money putting a four barrel intake on the slant and a four barrel carb headers mild convert er and a mild cam whell that is after i fix the rust and convert it to power disk brakes keeping drums in rear

I am building a 74 Duster - rust free - into a Super Street - Bracket car. Doing all the work myself - using a 440 with a 4.150 arm and Bulldog heads. Target weight is 2700lbs - projected HP is 700. I am going to have it on the track by first of next year. Sorry no pictures yet. I will be taking some soon.

If anyone is working on a simular project - send me an email - it is always nice to talk with other folks and get their ideas of how they are building their car.

Just finished waxing mine for the MoparHPAC show tomorrow. Will take some pics of the show and post them later on. The ole duster cleaned up real well. Used a fine cut wax to clean up the finish and then came back and used Liquid 'Crystal and she lookes like a new finish. I'm pleased considering the age on the paint.

This is a pretty cool board! I'm building a 73 duster and a 76 swinger at the same time. Tried mounting a 73 style rear bumper today on my dart and found out that it ain't gonna happen. Guess I'll put the droopy drawers rear back on it.

Chads Duster :roll: :lol:

Glad You like it it here. Welcome aboard.

I just ordered a new aircleaner and some frame connectors. Finished up my Rallye dash and will install it today. I also pulled the rear seat out. Just have to order my 8-point rol bar from S&W.

Adam how much are u paying for the cage im thinking of getting me one when the money is right!

Well the zombie had her probs last week so today im gonna test the heads out to see if i can still run the valves,then they go back on the car,i still need all new gaskets for my intake,timing cover and water pump,fule pump block off plate as well,then she goes back together and she hopfully will fire up! :lol: :lol: :lol: :cry:

Today im in the works of clealing up my moms 67' it needs a good clean down she needs a full resto on that damn car today im pulling the seats out to get them redone this week,then im pulling out the dash and the the head liner,this car needs it all but it runs like a champ and hauls ass the car was my daily driver fo my last year in high school,and what a blast that was now she needs a make over! :cry:

I just finished widening the wheelwell openings a total of 3", as the clearance was just too tight. Also, recurved the distributor, changed squirters and power valve in the Holley. Moved the tach off of the column and mounted it to the roll cage bar....much more visible. Looking into a bigger cam, mechanical type, and going to roller rockers.
[/img]

Just to get it going What is everone working on?

I'm working on an ulcer..... :puker:

I finally received the needed ARP stud to replace the bad one in my new set. I also got my oil pump shaft too this week. Looks like this Sunday I'll be in the garage bolting this thing together finally.

After collecting all the bits-n-pieces all winter long I'm looking forward to driving this shitbox this season! :drunken:

Looks like Im gonna be working on brakes. They went right to the floor on the ride home from work today. In the rain at a intersection ofcoarse. Still havent figured out were all the brake fluid went. Gave it a refill pumped the brakes a few time and rechecked it. Empty again. Cant find a leak anywere.

Monday I hope to order my cage if I get the brakes fixed.

Cant find a leak anywere.

Look inside the car by the brake pedal.

That was the first place I checked. dry .

I would check rubber breaklines, rear wheel cylinders and front cylinders if you have drums all the way around. There also might be a rubber line before the distribution block above the rear of the car too.

Good luck....be safe!!!!

-Eric-

Yeah I really need to pull the drums off of it and check wheel cylinders. I just find it odd that its not leaking all over the back of the tires.

It either has to be the master or the rear cylinders/lines. Its only draining the rear half of the master.

There it is right there......inside of your backing plate is probably soaked and most likely the brake shoes too.

The rear half of the master cylinder usually goes to the front brakes :scratch:

OOPS...that's right....not thinking today.

Boy..I need to get my mind right before I stick my hands in this fuse panel to hook up my 100amp service to the garage.

URRRRRRRRRRR

The rear half of the master cylinder usually goes to the front brakes :scratch:

Yeah my bad. Just having a brain fart :D

I was wondering if it was just me :drunken: :D

im working on getting my 318 dart into the 13's on street tires. i have a 340 to build for it with 11.5:1 pistons and that im going to eddie head, but i just wanna see how fast i can get the 318 to run for now.

heres the 318

http://members.cox.net/iispunkrokkin/engine.jpg
http://members.cox.net/iispunkrokkin/pass.jpg

car has an 8.75 swap. 3.91 with a rebuilt clutch sure grip. mono leafs and caltracs. trans has a reverse manual vb with a cheeta scs shifter. car has summit pro buckets for interior.

heres the car getting hauled off to get exhaust

http://members.cox.net/iispunkrokkin/100_2012.JPG

so far, the exhaust is all i havent done by myself or with mydad's help yet.

so, yeah. getting the 318 into the 13's is the summer project.

Man...nice paintjob!!!!

I am going to pull the Dart out of the trailer and fix a few things like bolt in a passenger seat, check timing and go through the carb for this weekend of testing.

I want that car to work next weekend at the NSCA event at Maryland Int'l Raceway one of my home tracks.

I got some pictures from the Salem, OH event just need to scan them. Will post them soon.

-Eric-

You guys are making me sick....... you know. I sold my 71 dart last spring. why ????????? don't know why still wish i had it. Some real nice darts on here ..... Well i am working on a 73 duster now 340 727 trans w/ 5000 stall and a dana 60 . same motor and trans as i had in my dart. pic of my dart is in my web site.

:roll: i have been working on painting the house. :thumbdow:

man, am i sick and tired of painting the house.

i am ready to get back in the shop so i can get back to working on the dart. :D

update**

im working on..................homework............yes, school has started and so has the homework. the dart has now been pushed aside to saturdays and sundays.

Im STILL working on getting my truck registered so I can cut the trunk and put the mini tubs and fuel cell in it. :cry:

Yee Haw!!

I can finally post in this thread. I started taking the Demon apart today. I managed to get everything from the doors back off the car. :)

I don't know where the person that owned this car before me drove, but the gas tank had a dent in it that was a foot in diameter and pushed in 6 inches. I guess a new tank is in my future. :roll:

I just might have this thing on the road next summer. :cheers:

Jack

I`ve been painting the outside of my work shop. I need to get started installing the CE 8 point cage, driveshaft loop, new traction bars and passenger side bucket seat in my Dart.

I also removed the heater/ac box from under the dash.

I usually work on a few of these a week . :D

http://www.andrewsracingtrans.com/Images/tonyc_727_024.jpg

This is my latest project, which I am hoping to pursue much further this summer. It'll make at least 1000 hp, and of course, it'll get a 727. Don't tell my granny her valiant has a tube chassis now! :tongue:

http://www.andrewsbrothersracing.com/images/photos/67_valiant001.jpg

And, of course my poor 71 duster. The never ending restoration .... :bounce:

http://www.andrewsbrothersracing.com/images/photos/barracuda018.jpg

Hmmm...

It's nearing Christmas, so everybody and their brother wants an upgrade or a new computer, so my office downstairs is loaded up with parts and pieces, plus a bunch of whole machines.

And I'm building an Kismet server on an old Ultra 5 with a bunch of drones, all running Fedora. Pretty cool, so far.

Oh, you meant car work?

Mostly a lot of planning. I near to tear down the brake system on my car. Wilwood brakes are going on the front, the master cylinder is going to be replaced. Probably braided lines in the front as well. The air in the lines has to go, I'm tired of not having brakes, I want to be able to stop!

Plus I've got some coolant in my oil, I need to find out where it's coming from.

My rear end looks like it's about to finally die, the tubes are twisting and it's leaking a little bit. I guess it's finally time to go with an 8-3/4.

I wanted to swap in a bigger cam, change the carb and put in a roll bar, but it doesn't look like the cash to do that is gonna be available.

Anybody looking to sponsor a race car?

Got the kid's 340 up and running. He rebuilt the motor this summer for his senior project. The car runs good, but the intake is leaking oil. I guess I know what we'll be doing next weekend. :)

Well the kid came home with a 69 Datsun 1600 Roadster yesterday. It's been restored but then was in a fender bender. It's been sitting for a couple years and it blew the head gasket on the way home. So I guess I'll be helping with that while trying to get my own car ready to start racing again next year. Fun, fun, fun.

Still collecting front end parts. Id like a new set of rims in the spring too.

I am still collecting parts for my 70 Swinger. Trying to figure out the path to take with the car..... so it's still in planning stages!! I've had the car for seven months and really haven't done more than get it running! I did pick up a 360 to replace the 78 318 someone stuck in it - since finding a 1970 340 is would be too much money for just a block (unless someone would like to donate one!) Still looking for a set of bucket seats and tracks to put back into the car. Thinking about ditching the ralye dash for a Rocky Mountain Dash, since restoration of either dash will be rather high - and the car needs EVERYTHING

I am building a 1968 Barracuda for 10.5 Drag Racing.

Motor: 525" Keith Black Aluminum Low Deck Block, B-1 Moved Centerline Heads

Transmission: Mikes Powerglide

Chassis: Chromoly Cage done by Phil Mandella Race Cars ( Home of the fastest SS/AA Hemi Cars in the country)
Alterktion Front - End
PMR 9" Rear filled with SUPER LIGHT Mark Williams & Lamb Components
Calvert Racing Cal-Tracs w/ Mono leafs.
Holeshot Hole Star Wheels & M/T ET Street 30x13.50x15 Rear Tires.
*Car will be updated with funny car cage & chromoly wheelie bars before it hits the track in the next couple of months* (Will be certified to 7.50) This turd better go in the 8's ! :supz:

My dad and I are re-building our cuda' that he bought last year. It was just fine we took it to the Mopar Nationals and have won some awards at local shows but now it his getting a rotisserie Restoration new lemon twist yellow paint. the motor is were all the money is though The 34o has been stroked to 416 ci. Has a supercharger from the supercharger store and water injection, plus new carb, pistons, ported heads, rods the works. The engine builders who are working on it have said it :bounce: should be good for 750 H.P. to wheels. But my dad doesnt want a cage because he loves to street race, he wants it to look like a sleeper. The only way u can tell is from the Torque thruster II and the BFG Drag Radials.

Welcome aboard 67' Thats gonna be a fun toy.

ehh still working opn getting a job.

The problem with multiple projects is you are spreading out your time AND money, but man, I don't really mind that. I know that someday... I will have some REALLY nice cars, just the way I want them. I had a really good day yesterday and 1) flipped the TrailDuster body off the frame - next, the frame will get pressure washed & I'll cut up the floors out to use in the '66 Town Wagon. When it got dark, I moved inside the shed & 2) finished working on the hood scoop of the '74 Duster - its almost ready for some color. While that fiberglass was setting-up, I... 3) cleaned up some A-body clutch and break pedals for the '71 Scamp. Got the 5-spd trans mount in the mail & cleaned up that to! Poor old 49 T&C just waits for me to move some of the other stuff out - gotta love the old girl for that! All after making 8 working for someone else... Its a little chilly (30s) for me to work out there tonight, but it should be a really nice weekend.

49 T&C

Well now im working on MOVING....YET again. This time to FL.

I'm working on my 70 Swinger i bought a couple years ago. It needs a fair bit of work, but i am willing to put in the hours, the only problem is i need the money. By this coming summer i should have enough money to get my Dart going. Something to look forward to.

doing a complete suspension rework on the Dart Lite,I just got a front end rebuild kit from firmfeel.com, along with tubular upper control arms. I also have ready to install a new set of leafsprings with 6-leaves to firm up the rear, still checking on a good manual steering box (hoping to find a 20:1 ratio for a decent price), and going to pick up a set of kyb shocks in the next couple of weeks too. Hopefully by the end of summer I'll have front and rear sway bars as well.

Im working on finding some income for the rest of the winter.

Ofcaorse my plans for the year keep getting bigger, Wheel tubs LBP swap maybe ? new rims. I can never make up my mind.

I talked to Dr.Diff from Moparts. I can buy a shortend 8-3/4 housing using his cores. back braced and powder coated with spring perches welded on for $450 shipped to my door.

For those of you looking for n A body 8-3/4 this may be a good way to go. Have him narrow a c or b body unit toa body length.

well, i did finish painting the house. :cheers:
i have been getting some things done on the dart.
i have the fuel system plumbed and ready. i just need the engine to finish.

i just mounted some tires to see how much tire i can fit in the wheel house. these are 29.5x10.5 M/T slicks. they are kind of tight but, i'm sure i can make them work.

i am ready to hear and see this baby run. :mrgreen:

david

Is that fuel cell going to pass tech ?

why won't it?

Is there any seggestions on wut i could do to my lil 318 in my Dart to make it go lol?

What am I workin on??Prepping the Dart for a new paint job..new vinyl top ..and new rear window...this is what fills my spare time ...http://pic12.picturetrail.com/VOL433/1040825/1983287/82017156.jpg

Thats awsome I wish I was done my Dart that much lol I still have to do all the body work lol.

Got my engine compartment in paint after battling fisheyes. Chalk it up to a "rookie mistake". From now on, the wax and grease remover will be used three times, not just once!

Time to put the front suspension back together. I'm thinking about some tubular upper control arms and some spherical rod ends to replace the rubber strut rod bushings.

Cash situation sucks now though. It always takes a while to recover from Christmas.

Nice what color is that ?

Adam, that color is green, your car is red. Don't you know your colors yet? Hope this helps. :D Ray :D

Check out the side view of the frame connectors I built and installed on my Duster. I'm very please with the results, they flow well with the original frame and look somewhat factory.

Hey Four Speed.....Looks good so far ...don't forget to paint the radiator support Flat Blacked out most of the way up about 3/4 or a wee bit more .....and all those pesky bolt heads for line clips etc.....

I have alot of work to still do on my car >_< so im hopnig the snow will start melting lol. :lol:

Whats up people, im new to this, and this is my first post. I have a lot to do on my Dart, but mainly get the brakes in good working order for the first time since ive owned the car. Got the car back in 2000 and a year later, Sept. 11 actually, I got a Midas quote of 1000 dollars for a brake job! Decided to get Wilwood Discs for half the price of the Midas quote, and used a daily driver for a few years while I got the fresh engine ready. Started using the car again sometime last year with more knowledge, and did the rear brakes myself. Also put in a aluminum master cylinder and stainless steel lines. Now getting ready to install the Wilwoods for the front, anyone ever put these brakes on before?

Just got my seats back from upolstery shop, now I have to figure out the best way to mount them, then its back to finishing the custom dash panel I made. Also finish trim on overhead console then I can call the interior done ...LOL (but we know its never done... on taking a rest)

Just put in a 440 in my son's 67 Cuda had to take it out twice to cut the left front mount bigger for the oil pump to clear using the Schumacher kit.

Looks good. Whats with thse valve covers?

Thanks Adam. Those valve covers are old Cal Customs. The decals fell off long ago and I stuck the Mopar Performance decals on there.

Cool. They look good.

Thats a really nice car :D

this is my second car, but first that actualy works haha

these are from the first day i got her, it hasnt changed much since then

(note the two differnt colored valve covers, nice touch)

That is totally custom you can't buy that anywhere!

I installed the freshened up motor and broke it in over the weekend! Now I am ready for opening day. Added new h-beam rods, bigger solid cam and springs from Crowler and new Manley valves :)http://www.bigblockdart.com/gallery//dartsport/tn_120_2049.JPG

In the middle of converting my 69 Barracuda from an automatic to a console mounted 4-speed. Found a rusty 69 Barracuda 340 4-spd sure grip on Ebay last summer and bought it for $2700. Add another $500 to drive from Kansas to Chicago and tow it back. I kept all the 4-speed stuff and parted aout everything else. I still have a few things to sell and I am money ahead. This is quite a job.

Looks awsome DartSport :cheers:

sounds like the 9's are coming up soon :thumleft:

Ive got some upgrade coming.

3.91 gears, Compcams XE274, new mini starter.

I also noticed my pinion snubber is smashed up against the floorboard. I'm gonna have to replace it with a stock one. Hopefully when I take it off it will lower the back of the car a little.

Welcome Raybo, I'm sure you will be able to find everything you need here. We'll have to meet up here real soon.

Taking a break from the Duster and putting this together (see attached.)

Is that another sharktooth grille or an airplane wing? :) They look almost the same. You can get a lot of time into both projects, car and plane. Ray

Gettin ready to pull the mill. Got something in the rotating assembly thats gone to hell. I think it's a cracked piston or rod bearing that's causing the piston to come up and hit the head. I think I'm gonna built a 416 and put it in and save the original engine for shows and stuff.

Well thanks to Adam telling me about the article being wrong on the bolt patterns on the Wilwoods, I went to the junkyard today to get some bigger bolt pattern rims. What I didnt expect to find was this 69 Dart sitting there with all the Aspens, Cordoba's, and LeBarons. I took the bumper off this car, but whats sad is I knew the owner. He was my manager about 6 years ago and I remember when he got the car. Seems like he gave up on it though
http://mopar-speed.com/MySpace/RobertsDart.jpg

Never thought about it that way but after you mention it there are alot of similarities between the Sharkstooth and the wing. I should actually be working on the grille but the thought of sanding all those webs and the masking :shock: simply overwhelms me! With building the airplane at least I'm getting the sense of accomplishment, I can build it in 3-4 weeks; unlike the Duster which is going on 6 years. The flip side is that every penny I spend on the plane prolongs the Duster; :?: what do you do

I had to thin out my extra hobbies so I could focus on my Challenger. I got rid of my R/C Nitro truck, R/C airplanes, Pocketbikes and scuba diving gear. Now that I have my Challenger, I'm looking for a 67-69 sb b'cuda for the wife :roll: Somehow I think the only people that are gonna win here are the people selling me the parts I need for my Mopars. :scratch:



Well, me too once they're done anyway :wink:

I got my starter out today. It's a start. Now I just need to unbolt everything else so I can change the converter.

No problem, i was putting mine in a backseat of my wagon...
He sleeps like a baby, but when i removed him, what a noise :!:

Almost every time when he was 3yrs, he played with the radio and steering wheel while i was doing the car and when he get tired, i put him to the backseat and he fell to sleep...

That don't work if you ain't got the seat's... :D

Now when he's 9yrs, i can't find enough to do for him while i work the car...

Every tool which he pick up he asks: what's this and what i can do with it...

I just started with self made subframe connectors and some wiring at the same time.

oh, some black dude asked me to sell him my car today. i was like.. hmm... $800, but i thought about it right after that, and i dont think ill sell it to him. i think ill keep my car and use it for parts when i get a two door body (dart or scamp..).

I actually did some work on the K. I dropped about $500 on 6061 last week at Dutchess Metals, this was the cheap piece. Most was for another secret project. Thanks to Adam for helping make some room in my garage.

Isnt that how it was sitting last weekend when I was there ? :poke:

The two piece mounts that were on the car were too low. The old ones are laying on the 400 block. Now the oil pan fits and my external oil pickup adapter fits. When I get the studs in the plate I will finalize the position and work on the mid plate.

It was for sale on Moparts Winter 2003. I ran to Ohio and bought it Spring 2004.

Was it ever run or was it a project somebody never finished. I wish I had kept my 90 Daytona and done something like that, or the Laser my stepson had. I have seen a few of them done like that and the power to weight ratio must be insane.

I have allways wanted to put a v8 into a Daytona also. Do you pretty much have to fab a whole new chassis to make it work?

It was(is) an unfinished project. It came with a 400 block and 440 crank cut for 400 mains. If it was a Daytona or Laser it probably would have sold faster and for more money.

Are you a good electrician?
I have a 3 bay garage with a loft, that is basically walls, and it's packed with junk. I've been thinking of running power to it. Insulating and putting sheetrock up. It has a twin chiminy on it so if I found an old boiler I could heat it real well also.
Could finish the upstairs into a Huge playroom.
Run the cable to it, and could have tv and internet.
:scratch: Only thing I haven't figured out is how to split the well so I could get water to it and then how to run the septic lines back around to the back side of the house. hmmm.

Shhh, that's where my 71' Dart and 71' Road Runner are hidding at, along with the old Hemi 331, and lots of misc junk.

I need a garage like that! I only have have 1.5 car garage right now and its diffinately not big enough. Hopefully in a year or so I can knock my small one down and build a 3 car garage. Assuming building/zone laws allow!

Only 1 problem. In about six months, The 3 car will need to be torn down for a 6 car garage, and in another year.......

If that happens I am going to sell the house and go find something with some land so I can put up a big ass pole barn. With shop area for cars and a shop area for woodworking, than the rest will be cold storage for all my mopars and toys. Although this plan does require that I win the lottery also, but we won't worry about those small details right now!

make sure to buy some EXTRA land

Greetings Fellow Moparites,
First time posting here, I have a '76 Plymouth Scamp. My Grandmother bought it right off the showroom floor. In 1991, when she died it had 29,000 on the ticker. My Uncle inherited it. Well, to make a long story short, at 78 years of age, he was out with a 38 y.o. woman drinking moonshine. After he hit a fencepost on the passenger door, they decided he shouldn't be driving any more. 2 years ago he gave it to me with 52,000 miles. Currently a /6, so the plan is I've got a freshly prepped and firmly tuned 727 w/ 3000 stall ending up at the 8 3/4, the 360 w/ forged crank,H beam rods, and Probe forged 10:1comp, and a comp cam. Bottom end is all assembled, and ready to go. Currently putting the roller rockers on the shafts, so I can check piston to valve clearance.
I've rambled on and on and...

when you said ZJ i was like "hmm jeep." then i thought about what you had been saying, and i figured it was a GC. then i googled it... and it was confirmed :)

I knew the whole time.

I knew the whole time.

So your the first post tease.

IN THE MUD

Looks like I'll have the truck as soon as they find the title :rolleyes:
I'm having the same problem with my wifes Escort.
Have'nt a clue where the title and lean release went.
It's been off the road since last summer.

Pretty soon you'll have a " You Wouldn't Understand It's A Jeep Thing" Banner acrossed the top of the windshield.

Man I miss my CJ7.
33"x12 1/2's, 3" body lift.
Nothing like running around with the top and the doors off, except for when a sudden thunder storm brakes out. The wipers didn't work so well on the inside. :lol:

Looks like I'll have the truck as soon as they find the title :rolleyes:

I thought you were getting a Grand Cherokee? That ain't a truck, it's a stationwagon! I got one too. 4.7 V8

But its a cool wagon. Better then my Balzer :puke:

I agree, that little 4.7 will haul. I've pissed off a couple of ricers with it. (and my wife)

BossVega had a Dakota with a 4.7 and a 5 speed. That was a fun truck.

Inferno Red!

Nice. Mine is boring gray.

I'm working on warming my fingers up.
That steel is dang cold.
Trying to get the tranny out, it's almost there, just a few loose bolts holding it to the engine.
I should have bought some kerosene for the heater :x
As soon as I warm up I'll pop it out and hopefully get the new converter in.
April is coming quick and I want the car done.

Just got home with the Jeep. It moves pretty good. I didnt even have to floor it to get up the hill I live on.

Congratz Adam, Enjoy it :salut:

I only get to enjoy it once and awhile. Its gonna be the wifes. Once the other car is paid off we'll get another for her (probably a 4.0L) and I'll get t his one.

Its got some nut to it though. maybe she wont like it and I'll get it in a few weeks. She doesnt like driving my Blazer so theres hope.

That reminds me anyone need a Blazer cheap ?
