Funny thing how projects languish, sit, then get re-activated, huh. Even funnier when a bunch of guys sit around and yet another new idea is hatched!! Well, here is the latest,and greatest in the life of my poor 'ol 'Cuda: MOONEYES: "Dale- we want YOU to build the next Mooneyes Showcase car...

My- how the month's have flown by! I still hope everyone is well here on the site? Not that all care, but I am still somewhat immersed in the Mopar kingdom. Some of my last posting were all about the turning of our '65 Barracuda into an altered wheelbase wonder, but I"ve been re-thinking it...

Trying to re-kindle this old post. We're starting back up on this project, and I still have contacts. The car/parts have not disappeared. I'll just keep using this thread to post up the parts as they become available. I'll be building around the existing 273 drivetrain, so its going to stay for...

Thats funny! I thought it was worthless , then Bob Mosher was out at the shop one day, dropped everything, and wanted the whole system!!! I was a beautiful, untampered with system. He'll install it in one of his personal rides.... I'll get some pics of the thru-the-floor subframe connectors. And...

Mike, Indeed you are correct. Its a match to the front opening, much like the customs of the sixties. It turned out really well, I was surprised at how it mimics the front openings much better than a half-circle radius job. The customers tire is a 29 inch tall, by 12 inch wide give or take a...

I've been stuck on working on B-bodies for awhile now, but back into the swing of the ""A's"". Here is a link to Tom Lynch's soon to be on an East Coast drag strip '64 Dart. A rarified SoCal, original owner find car, it has to be one the most unmolested cars I've unearthed to date. They are...

As of lately, nothing really to report on the build-up. A bit of a stall, but I"ve almost every part accumulated for the car at least. I was offered up a street Hemi for the build-up, but (I know, call me CRAZY!) we'll be using a 400 to stroke to a 14.5-1 451, or just take it up to a 500 cid...

Sorry to be so quiet. The car is still together, for the moment. Had to pull off to complete other pending projects, but now, with sponsors on board, and Chrysler's interest in the project, I'll be digging into it pretty soon. Thanks for your patience. Oh, in addition, for sure, the column...

Awesome that your car made the entire trip!!!! A definite feather in the cap. I can only hope for that my next time with these guys. There just better be some CNG filling stations along the way!!! Dale

Mark- How did you do with the Tour? A bunch of us did it some years ago, and it was always a fun time!!! I'm sure you have some 'war stories'? Dale

Thank you for posting that!

Loved watching your car run at Irwindale a few weeks back. I think I got it up on video. I'll dig through the camera and get it to you! Dale

Not sure why it did not work. Wow. If Rainer is a member here, it'd be great to get him to post up about the build. I'll try to see how we can link to his pictures. Amazing dedication to saving a car that sat on a dealer lot for thirty some years, rotting away...

You guys would love to check this out. Its from another board I frequent. This guys dedication to saving this car is beyond real, and will make you appreciate the fact that he has to make most everything from scratch! Take a look: http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162209

Not a sure-grip. Here's pics: http://public.fotki.com/teddisnoke/gug/

In the coming month's I'll be partially parting out a '65 Barracuda. This car will be transformed into an altered wheelbase car, so quite a bit of odds and ends, and some hard to find parts are going to find their way into the for sale ads. The complete front suspension assembly is already...

Here's a link to the beginnings of a looong build. I think we may leave the engine in for now, build around it, and drive it for a bit, in patina kinda like when I did Steve's Rampage Dart: http://public.fotki.com/teddisnoke/gug/ Rolled the wheels around a bit here and there. It...

After shaking off some of the dust that settled around me due to the fact I fell off the board for awhile, I'm being hopeful I'll be welcomed back! I had to take a "Chrysler Hiatus" to build, and race my last car, an altered wheelbase Comet. Well, thats done, and we are enjoying it fine, but the...

I've been screwing around building headers, but doing them on the cheap. Meaning buying a cheap production set, then hacking them apart, and re-welding them back together. This is a very cheap way to make a 'custom set': http://public.fotki.com/teddisnoke/bmw-2002/120.html This first set, i...

Congratulations on your sale, JetDoc. Sorry to see you sell it, but I'm sure the new owner is VERY EXCITED!!! Dale

Who thought in a magazine like this, there'd be an appearance by a Dart!!! http://www.rodandculture.com/ I've yet to get my hands on an issue, but I've received calls that its a three page spread, and has some quite nice photographs. Well, all but the powerplant for the purists. The weekend...

He will be releasing a book about the history of AWB's, and a how-to. Quite comprehensive! Great guy.

At the time, I had no funds to build a 360, but there was a chevy ready to go. Next Chrysler product AWB will have a "proper" powerplant.=P~ It seems one of the UK magazines has already lined up the car for a feature over there, and another one over here, Traditional Rod and Kulture, will be...

He's back. You may have seen none other than Mr. Rich LeFevre driving . He went back to hang out for awhile.

Its always good to know that your street-strip altered wheelbase funnycar, in this case Magnante's '63 Dart, also doubles as a tow vehicle in a pinch!! I see a drag week car in the works!! You can sleep in the trunk, there is soooo much room!! Dale

Why is it a "shame"? Its a hot rod! Run what you can. But fear not, oh yee of no Chevy faith. A true Chrysler fanatic, Bryan has big plans down the road for the car. :cheers:

New owner Bryan Gibson had no sooner unpacked the '64 AWB Dart out of the shipping container, then trailered it out to one of Englands premier vintage drag races: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDIbPmpONEk He reported it needed some "airing out" after the long overseas trip, the gas was a...

I received word late last week, the car had arrived safely over in England, and that it was being put on a trailer, and immediately raced this last weekend, as the weather over there dictates whether you make a good pass or not!! I"m hoping to get some pictures of it soon! Dale

Sounds like you already have some help in that area. Great. Off road guys trucks take some very severe punishment!! Keep in mind that for the most part, they use .120 wall tubing on their builds. This tubing, going into bends, may lean out on the outside radius enough to not pass NHRA minimum...
