Doug's '68 Dart

Here is my 3-4 year project. As of yesterday, she's stripped down w/exception to front and rear glass. Need to build a storage rack this week before I pull the windshield/back window.

Current long term plan:
Altercation front suspension
Street lynx rear suspension (w/inboard relocated front hangars)
8 3/4 489, 3:91?
Manual transmission conversion
Small block stroker motor
Wilwood brakes
Fronts 275/35/18, Rears 305/40/18 (duplicating Bill Reilly's '69 setup)

Current undertakings before plastic media blast/body work/paint:

USCarTool frame connectors, torque boxes, inner fender braces, mini-tub, firewall patching.

You are going to be so happy with this setup! Very close to mine. Have you considered the heavier guage lower rad support? Also, Bill can build a rear swaybar for your setup although it is not advertized. Approx $270.00 if I remember correctly. Also, the drivers side bolt for the rack that comes with the Altercation front suspension is extremely close to the basepan so you may want to modify it before you install the engine.
Great car!
