65 DART WAGON 2 DOOR CONVERSION
Several people suggested I start a build tread so here I go. Let me first say I'm not a body man so if anyone has info that may help please speak up can take it. I bought this car out of CA about ten years ago it was a slant 6 with 3 on the tree. After the transmission stopped working so well I decided to go with a 340 and a 4 speed.
After finding a new stroker crank at Carlisle it changed to a 375 with 10.5 compression and a Hughes hydraulic cam 1.6 Ratio roller rockers Hughes prepped Edelbrock heads with 2.05 intake valves and 1.6 exhaust valves, six pack intake and Dougs headers. I rebuilt an 833 transmission and install 8 3/4 with 3.55 gears.
I also decided to add four wheel power disc brakes, power steering, and A/C just to make it comfortable to cruise in.
The 2 door conversion started after seeing a 62 four door Dart to a two door conversion that was just great it looked like the factory built it and if any one has tried to find a two 62 Dart it almost impossible anymore.
I lost most of my pictures of the floors being replaced when I had a computer that died on me but here are the completed floors
I started on the conversion on the passenger side I cut out the B-pillar and pulled the door from the donor car and stripped it done so I could hang it by myself. I got the door hung and basic adjustments done so it lines up with the fender and the rocker.
Next is cut the section off the donor car and start fitting it in place.
