There is a pending deal set for the 28th of Feb, if it doesn't go thru I will post it, thanks for the interest Stu

I shall have another Dart someday, the cost to finish what I have now the way i want it done is just too high. When I build a bike I start out saying to myself, okay on this one I am going for the rat look, I just don't have it in me, it has to new paint, nice parts, etc, no matter how hard I...

Just had a conversation with an interested person on the Dart, nothing final yet. You have heard of buyers remorse, you know you buy something and then wish you hadn't. Well I haven't even made a deal yet and am having sellers remorse, sorry to bore all with my little whining, just...

That ought to be illegal, but to each there own

I know I was tickled when I found it with the body being as solid as it is, even the trunk pan is solid, the previous owner made me wait 2 days to pick it up while he acquired an original jack and bought a spare mag wheel and had a tire mounted to it so I would have a spare. I am selling it for...

If anyone is interested I have more pics I took today, email me and I will send them Stu

Sorry if this is not proper, heres the short story. Started building a gargage to work on my projects and ran into snags requiring much more excavation than expected. Something has to go my 1929 Ford Tudor rat project or the 1972 BB Dart project. So it is the Dart, 1972 Swinger green...

They are great in a stew, my kids and I used to eat it all the time when they were little and we were really broke, ah the good old days.

Got the following 1966 383 with 727 and 8 3/4 with 48XXX actual miles from a Newport 4dr. Guy brings the running car over says anything I want out of it he will remove and return to me along with a 400 engine he has sitting in his garage, he has another use for the body. SO, I also am...

Will probably go with the .990 or 1.00 t bars, still gathering parts for the big change, got the 8.75 rear, springs, k-member (the one in the car has a strut rod problem, looks like someone hit something and they welded up the k and did a shitty job of it), even found some 14x10 cragars for the...

Exactly, gasser look with out the straight axle. The straight axle wouldn't be driveable every day if need be. I have decided to do the rear fender wells so I can get some bigger skins in the back. I was thinking 1 inch bars just looking for feedback. Thanks

I am planing a 440 for my 72 Dart from the 225. I prefer a higher stance for the car. I was wondering how the torsion bars being discussed work on the higher riding cars with bigger motors? The 1" and bigger bars, how do they do with the heavier front? I like a stiff front end, but don't quite...

For any bikers here are some of my last builds, just don't keep them to long someone always offers me way more than I got in them. One before Iraq (the 2nd trip) two after, I was down about 18 months waiting on cervical fusion from Iraq injuries so I only managed to build one in 18...

Here are some pics I just took, light wasn't the greatest. Excuse me, I didn't mean to be a tease, here they are
