Tube Chassis Hemi Dart Project

I just wanted to share some photos and progress reports on my 1971 Dodge Dart. In 2000 I purchased a very good running 6 cylinder Dart here in Austin, Texas and took it home. It was gold with a black vinyl top, black interior, and bone stock. I have taken many pictures using my trusty 35mm camera but only recently did I have access to my wife's new digital camera. The early photos I have are taken by some buddies who stopped by the shop and took them. A good friend of mine who used to build Comp Eliminator and Pro Stock cars for the Nickens Bros. worked for Todd Bevis in Tyler, TX and then struck out on his own. He has done all of the design layout of the chassis for my car and all of the expert tig welding. I did all the cutting up of the car, cut and fit all of the roll cage tubing, cut and fit the headers, and in general did all of the grunt work including final assembly. Another good friend sprayed the car PPG black while I did all of the sanding and body work. I am almost finished and hope to fire the big 528 Hemi by June 1. More pics to come in the next few days. Thanks
