This dart came in the shop for a supercharged 5.7 hemi hopped up to a 392 with a 6 speed, a complete chassis with magnum force front suspension and a custom torque arm with a watts link on the rear with ride tech coil overs. It will be receiving many one off pieces like headlights, taillights and gauges. The roof will be wedge cut 2 inches with the body being shortened 2 inches behind the B pillar to get everything to line back up with the wheelbase stretched 2 inches and the front wheel opening will be moved forward 4 inches in the front fender.

Gotta see how this one turns out. tmm
 
Yes the taillights and Grille will be for sale. All of the drive train will be for sale also. This is what we looking to do for taillights and some options on the Grille.

Pretty cool looks very familiar. Nice rendering. Looks like maybe problem child studio? Or Hermance design. Any way cool build.
 
Here are some more pics of our build. We have got the body all stiched back together. We have the inner wheel tubs installed with the front frame rails in. We are mocking up how far we need to move the front wheel opening forward.

Here are some pics of what we have done on the rear and the wheel tubs

Here we have cut the deck lid and raised to body above the taillights for a cleaner look, built a new package tray and started the exhaust

Wow, that I can honestly say is the coolest 65 Dart Gt I have ever seen. My first car was a 65 Gt and Ive had two more since then.. Keep it up!!
 
love that some one is doing a wild custom on an early A dart,, nice that you are using a watts link,,most shops dont even know what it is,,, QUESTION,, looks like your building a full frame ?? if so,,,,why are you using the front suspension you speak of ?? i wasnt aware he made one for an early A,,, his units usually are to wide for the later A cars that are wider then what you are working on,,,, looks great so far,,,

Here is a link to the front suspension

We bought this set up first and then we decided to take it up a notch. The rear was already set up so we just extended to frame rails and kicked them up in the front. Being that we already had the K member from Magnum Force and the engine was going to have to come out through the bottom we just made it bolt on like the factory one did.

Magnum force has been making early A front ends for several years. Does he stock them? No because he sells E and B body are the majority. Me personally I think the tubing he uses is a bit busy looking but never the less its way better than stock. Impressive work you guys are doing and you have done several things that I have already done on my car and I'm digging the extent you guys are going on this sucker. The owner must be, one well off, and two a big fan of the early A. Way to go guys I'll be watching.
