    76 Dart Sport, Wheels finally on. Rally

    Yeah, still needs LOTS of work, Mostly Body and some interior work, but in damn good shape for its age and for sitting so long doing nothing but rotting.

    76 Dart Sport, Wheels finally on. Rally

    I'm the 2nd owner on this one. Traded a Calf to the Lady that originally bought it back in 1976, she even still had the 1976 South Dakota Title for it LOL. Was sitting for almost 11 yrs before we got a hold of it. Sweet Looking Ride ya got there.

    76 Dart Sport, Wheels finally on. Rally

    This is the 76 Dart we traded a Calf for a couple years ago. Had Steel Rims with Hubcaps on it and finally got it all running and good to go about a year ago. Finally had the money to pick up a couple new tires and mounted them on the Rally Rims that came with the Road Runner we got last year...

    Air Shocks 76 Dart Sport

    Eventually the /6 will come out and A small block will go in, but one thing at a time LOL. The Air Shocks are already leaking. They held fine for the First 2 weeks, now, they deflate over night. Gotta get under it today and find the leak. UGH.

    Ok, looking around on Google and looks as if they Mount to the LOWER part of the Shock. Still, Wouldn't these cause more undu pressure and odd pressure points to the Lower Shock Mount since the angles are now OFF compared to the Original Shock Mount.

    Air Shocks 76 Dart Sport

    Yep same ones I came up with. And Excuse my Ignorance but, Top or Bottom?? And Why exactly do I need these again, I have FULL Clearance under the Dart for the Air Shocks, they don't interfere with anything and there is plenty of room around each of them. Wouldn't extensions put more Pressure...

    Ok, I did an internet search and can only find GMC,CHEVY, FORD, PONTIAC Air Shock extensions and am confused as to where they extension, Upper, Lower.

    They Didn't come with any extensions, nor can I find any extensions for them, They Go straight to the Crossmember in the Trunk, straight down to the Shock Mounting plate on the springs. Here's a Pic of her on the Highway by the house. Looks good to me like that.

    Thanks again for all the Input, I am clearly aware of how Shocks versus Springs work. This isn't no Restored vehicle. It's Clunker I picked up in exchange for a calf. Yes I know Air Shocks can and do cause Damage. Yes, I have Priced a new set of Springs for the car (little over 400 bucks from...

    Thanks Everyone for your Input, Greatly Appreciated. I may look into some Stiffer Springs or as 72bluNblu suggested moving the Leaf Springs to Over the Axle. Sorry to get everyone's knickers in a bunch, I just like the raised Rear end look on the Muscle Cars.

    We drive this car 2 miles per day, 1 mile to work, 1 mile back. It's not a Super Stock Racer Show Car or anything like that, just personal Preference is all. Thanks all for answering the questions.
