70 Dart 4-door RestoMod/Sleeper
Greetings All!
Long time viewer, only recently started to participate in the forums!
Earlier this year I inherited two Mopar A bodies, causing, just about, an all out obsession with everything a-body. Here are the cars the day i pulled them.
69 Barracuda Convertible
70 Dart "More"Door
This thread is going to be about the building of the Dart into a RestoMod/Sleeper, and the Barracuda will be done at a later date.
After removing the Dart from my grandfathers lot, I was excited to find that it ran when it was parked in that spot 17 years prior, and knowing the reliability of the 318 it had under the hood, with a little elbow grease, some cleaning and swapping fluids and tires, she was running and driving again.
Shortly after getting it running, and starting to drive the old dart on an almost daily basis, I began the hunt for the drive-train that would take the place of the worn 318 and the tiny little 7 1/4 under the rear end. With an incredible amount of luck, the kind that usually is not common for me (lol), I came up with an 8 3/4 suregrip, that Iwill get pictures of later this week, and a 440/727 that ran when pulled.
Well I have done quite a bit of work so far, but this is the end of the pictures that I have ready to go, so I will update soon! hope you all enjoy! and love to get some tips/feedback!
