Wow I forgot about this thread! What a trip going back and seeing what I did (and what I should've done). I'm still loving it!

Radial T/As happened. 205/60s up front and 245/60s in the rear. Seriously these tires changed the attitude of this car, and I can't get over how good they look.

Absolutely! That'll be the first thing I do!

Thank you!

15x7 4.5" bolt pattern Plymouth cop car wheels with 255/60s in the rear and 205/65s up front. Thanks!

I agree about the black. The white didn't really make sense to me, but it was already there... This car won't be seeing any rain hopefully! I have friends that run Cooper Cobras and they've had good luck with them so far. Thanks for the concern though.

I actually had a friend drive it (that I trusted) and had someone get side by side with him while I took pictures.

Long time no talk! Winter has been brutal. School has kept me busy. Yet I still find time to mess with this car. I have some plans coming up for this summer: New tires. Maybe some Cooper Cobras so I can get white letters all the way around. New exhaust. I get a weird look when I tell...

Wow you aren't playing around haha. Awesome stuff.

Well here's a new update. I haven't done a lot to the car here lately, but I have big plans coming up. I ditched the hub caps and turned the white letters out on the rear. I love the way it looks now. Also if you look back in this thread you'll see a chin spoiler that I picked up at a local swap...

Here's the Swinger in it's very first show. I'm extremely happy with where the car has come from. It's been a long journey that still hasn't finished, but I finally made it to where I wanted to be. Also I traded my old seats with some boot with a set of decent seats that were recovered. The...

So the car was making a loud ticking noise, so I pulled the valve cover to check the rocker arms. I pushed down on one and it had no pressure at all. After pulling the intake the noise was coming from a lifter that had torn apart. After pulling it out, the lifter had worn down so far that it...

Eddy's back. I took it apart and cleaned it out the best I could. It didn't really help any. I just really missed that electric choke... I still have hopes for the Thermo-quad, but that'll be for a later date. Anyone going to the Tennessee Valley Mopar Club's show at the drag strip? That'll...

Picked up some super nice Mopar valve covers for $60. I went ahead and plasti dipped the air cleaner to match it. I like it a lot better than the chrome.

So at WOT the thermoquad bogs down. What should I check to see why it does this? As soon as you back off slightly it clears right up.

Thermo-quad runs much better. It idles smoother and the ride isn't choppy anymore. The only problem right now is that at WOT it acts like it's getting bogged down but still accelerates, but when you ease off very slightly, it opens right back up. Any guesses? I'm gonna buy a rebuild kit and...

The Edelbrock carburetor is not being very user friendly. At first start up and idle it's fine, but when you start to drive the car it wants to sputter and miss until it's been warmed up. I thought it might be just that it's cold, but when I start the car after letting it sit for around 5...

I'm having some trouble with the car getting hot. The master cylinder gets so hot that the brake fluid is running out and spraying on to the inner fender. It made the paint wrinkle up which means I'll have to repaint it. What can I do to keep the master cylinder fom getting so hot?

I washed the Dart today. I've been driving it mostly everywhere. You'll see a picture of it next to my Mustang as well. Thanks everyone who has checked out this thread, and don't forget to check in to see what else I'm doing to it.

Thanks! I definitely am. That'll probably be the first show the car is in. Check around for it there.

Thanks I really appreciate it he kind words. Definitely keep checking it out because there's still plenty I have in mind for this car.

Thanks everyone for your help with suggestions of what could be wrong with the light. It turns out that the bulb socket was bad and it was sending power back to the turn signals. Since I can't afford/wait for a new tail light assembly because the socket can't be removed, I pulled out the old one...

The backseat and bumper have been pulled to check all the wiring to the tail lights. As far as we can tell, the problem is somewhere in the dash. Since I can't drive it for now I went to the local junk yard and picked up some air horns for $5 to make me feel better. I'm ready to scare some old...

Sorry for no new updates everyone. I've had the car street legal and I've just been enjoying driving it. I got all the lights to work except for one tail light. It seems that it may have a bad socket or the actual harness is bad. I reused the old headlight harness and all the lights work, but...

I went to a local swap meet today and picked up this chin spoiler that was laying in a pile of Mopar parts for $8. The guy said he didn't know what it was for. Is this one of the Direct Connection chin spoilers? It's got the same shape as some of the chin spoilers on here so it made sense.

1972 Dart with electronic ignition from YearOne.

I ordered some brand new pretty side marker lights, all new bulbs, a headlight switch, and an engine wiring harness for the Dart. I'm incredibly happy with how easy it was to directly plug in the new engine harness. I'd much rather have this than the crusty original harness. So everything is...

Well the Sport is off to a new home in Indiana, which leaves me some spending money for the Swinger. My goal is to be street legal and road worthy by the end of this month. Let's hope I can make this happen.

Rat rods are awesome, and it's a great place to use a lot of creativity. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

Love these trucks. They have beautiful body lines, and I love what you've done with it. There's a '46 Dodge sitting in my backyard, but it'll probably never get this much attention.
