That chop top is cool not something you see done with muscle cars often. Slight update on this I plan to order 68 69 dart quarters and trunk extensions from getallparts.com when I get my tax return in the next couple of days. Money supposed to be in tomorrow. Then over the summer I will work on...

There is a timing cover kit for the gen 3 hemis to mount a distributor. gen 3 hemi distributor kit - Google Search

When you figure out powersteering let us know what you do. I was thinking try to make the progressive power steering system work like it did in the lexus. It's got its own computer box under the glove box and from what I have read on lexus forums it mostly just needs input from a speed sensor to...

Do the tires or any thing rub at all? What did you do about the progressive power steering solenoid that is on the lexus steering rack?

Do motor mounts attach to the lexus Crossmember or the cars frame

How bad is ground clearance on rear cross member? Can that Crossmember be eliminated and just build lower control arm mounts off the frame? Would that fix ground clearance? What did you do for oil pan and motor mounts? How does the aluminum cross member attach to the frame?

Did you do it yourself? How well did it fit? What had to be done to make it fit? What size tires rims and offset are you using? Did you use sc400 struts or some coilovers? Did you do any reinforcing of the front of the car? How does it handle?

More pictures and details

And as far as tires go yes more limited with the smaller wheel wells but it's do able with correct offset and other mods depending how wide a tire you want. when I was 8 or 9 years old my stepdad had a 68 dart with the b body rear axle mini tubs springs moved in under frame rails wheel well lips...

Not really interested in it for the challenge or because no one else has done it. More just a what if the designers at dodge had the time and budget to make a new quarter panel for the dart sports with correct wheel opening when they made the sports instead of just slapping a dart front clip on...

If I used just the wheel well then the line going into it between the wheel well and door wouldn't line up because the dusters and sports have that line drop down. And between the wheel wells and doors the bottom couple of inches is what needs replaced on my car. That's why I figured go from...

This is what I am talking about the purple part is dart. Everything else is dart sport (duster). By the door and along the top should be close. Notice the difference in the body line at rear of purple section that and the trunk extension are what might need to be modified. The lime green by the...

What do you mean Dutchman?

I would keep the sport (duster) decklid, tail panel and rear bumper. would just be changing the wheel well and lowest body line. Just using bellow the center body line of a dart quarter panel and sectioning it in. the front of the quarter panel and along the center line should match up fairly...

Has anyone seen side stripes like these before? They're kind of like aar style stripes but they stay the same size the whole way down the side of the car. They are painted on. Curious if there is a stencil or anything to use to recreate them. I am gonna start sanding the car down for rust repair...
