New upgrade for the spring, 16:1 steering box! Now if it would just get above zero degrees here in Ohio so I could heat the shop, I’d get it installed. Should be fun at the autox next time!

Haha, thanks! I’ll try to do a better job of keeping up on here, I’ve been just trying to enjoy the car after the long build! th

Thanks guys, I guess I worded that wrong, lol! I really didn't do much on the car for a long time, I was just enjoying it. I started the body work at the end of August, so it wasn't down for too long!

So I haven't been on here in a good while, no real updates to the build to to this point and nothing has broken lately! I was tired of the aftermarket quarter panel causing the gas cap to leak all over the primer. The dish for the fuel filler was misshaped, and the cap would bottom out before...

I didn't realize it was that long since I've been on here, that's awesome that it's up and running, congrats! I beat my 5.9 Dakota for years in front of the v6 ax15 in that, so you should be good for a while!

Car is looking sweet! Can't wait to see this one on the road!

Got my "new" trans in yesterday, the Dart is back in business! I had to pull the old one apart to see the damage...a mans got to know his limitations, lol!

Well I haven't posted in a while, I've just been driving this thing a bunch, when the weather permits. So I decided to throw my mustang wheels from my Dakota on the car for a bit, mainly because I wanted to try autocross with a slightly better set of tires. Two days later, I found the limit of...

Very true, my 68 fury had a factory clutch sure grip 742 with 2.76s. I promptly replaced that with a spare 2.94 open and the centersection is now in my dart.

Awesome, thanks!

68 Fury four door, 5.2 magnum, 727, obd1 injection, 2.76 gears, it would consistently get 16 to 18 in mixed driving, 21 on a trip. I took the 2.76s out and replaced them with 2.94s and my best is around 20. The 2.76s are now in my dart, because a guy I know told me to :)

Restomod, I appreciate restored cars, but not enough to own one. I'll vote for the 5.7 as well, the best thing I've done to old cars is put newer injected engines in them. I actually enjoy and drive my old cars now, lol!

Beautiful! Are those the 17x7 lx wheels? If so, did you have to use spacers or any mods to get them to fit? I'm looking for a cheap 17 for autocross wheels, tire selection in 15" is dismal.

I definitely have traction problems! I have a 3" relocation kit on the shelf, but I'm trying to enjoy the car for a bit before I tear it down again. Its fun for now, but I haven't seen its potential, spinnin ain't winnin, lol! :headbang:

Here's my 69 Swinger, 5.7 hemi, 5 speed, primered driver!
