67 Dart GT build

[lxmodguy]

Well I decided to keep my 67 Dart and build it and do the work myself. I’m a capable fabricator, but I’m very challenged from a time perspective. It will probably take me years to do it, but hey it will get done right and I won’t get screwed like my 64 Dodge build.

I’ll try to post updates as I go. I can only carve out a few hours a week to mess with it.

Nice, chip away a few hrs at a time and it will payoff eventually.

Thats how I did mine, some years it seemed like i did no work at all... when I got frusterated I wasnt progressing, I let it sit. Here's my 67 GT, Gen III, OD... it looks like you're starting almost exactly where I did. Keep up the good work!!!

My dad and I restored these two when I was 15. I’ve always wanted a Dart.

The engine showed up yesterday. Low mileage drop out from a 2014 charger.

Little progress is always progress! Running into a similar issue of time (and money) with my current project. Though it may take me weeks to get the steering column together, getting an adapter made here, getting the bearing in there all helps it get closer to the road one day!

I’ll just leave this here and let you speculate what’s about to go down

 

[rapidtransitric]

Are you going to narrow that?

Gonna have to narrow the cradle a bit.

Gonna have to narrow the cradle a bit.

That's cool I want to see how it turns out

 

[lxmodguy]

Took measurements and ordered the narrowed cradle I need. Time to break out the plasma and start making room

 

[rapidtransitric]

So you're not going to narrow the k frame you have?

Waiting on the narrowed crossmember now. It looks like we have to take 5 inches out of it

 

[rapidtransitric]

But is the intended cradle from an LX car?
