    Buying a wrecked truck from Copart?

    Copart has some of the highest fees in the business. Make sure you have a grasp of the number and cost of them BEFORE you pull the trigger. And you usually need to go through one of their brokers to bid.

    Build or buy a clone Hemi Dart

    You will not be happy with the quality of the Hemi A body that you try to build for 50k. You MAY be able to find one already built for 50k, but it will be somebody else's build and there will be a lot of things that you might want different or wonder how well they were done. And for...

    Ignorant College Student--Need Advice!

    It will take hundreds of hours to make the little car much at all. And many more hours than that of research and searching for parts. In order to restore an old car back to road worthiness takes 5 indispensable things; 1) enough money 2) enough time 3) enough of the right tools 4) enough...

    rear springs (yes again)

    The Super Stock springs were racing springs and were not part of any production street vehicle. That's where HD and XHD springs came in. And those were on high performance cars. They were not on family cars. Guess why. If ride means anything to you, go with a more stock oriented pair of...

    rear springs (yes again)

    Have you ridden in a car with the SS springs? Compared to your stock springs, they ride very harsh and depending on what you have on there now, may need heavier shocks, too. Also, have you considered having your original springs re-arched? You could choose your ride height that way. Whichever...

    My Dart made Car Craft...........

    Was and still is for sale. I just don't have a good place to store the car since I don't drive it a lot. Mice have become a nightmare in my building the last few years and they can wreak havoc with a car like this that sets a lot. So, it's gotta go. At this stage of my life I am going to get...

    My Dart made Car Craft...........

    Dom, I have only made 2 passes with the car, just playin' around. No prep, no tuning and I really peddled it out. It still spun through 1st and I had to lift a couple of times in 2nd. It ran a 7.02 @107. It is a ball to drive on the street. The thing idles about like a stock 426, but it pulls...

    My Dart made Car Craft...........

    I would try to answer anything specific that you would want to know. I run 8 3/4 with Sure-Grips in all my street cars. My Cuda is a street car that gets it's share of track time and has a 500" Wedge in it. 1.5 60 foot times are hard on the rear, but I usually get 4 or 5 years of hard use out of...

    My Dart made Car Craft...........

    I have done this before on some cars. My cars are not corner carvers, they are street and strip so mostly straight line. I have never had any problems running bias on one end and radials on the other. And I don't normally run that narrow a front tire either. I want some meat up front to...

    Adjustable PCV

    What they claim to address are issues that I have had to deal with on my engines. I have had PCVs flutter at idle and have had them let too much air past sometimes and then not at others. Which caused me to chase my idle all the time. And I have had oil leaks on my big displacement engines that...
