    Sealant on center section gasket and axle shaft gaskets?

    Some say to install them dry, some say use a spray sealant, and others say to scrap the paper gaskets altogether and just use one of the modern sealants in a tube. What say y'all?

    Buying a Magnum Core- Max Mileage?

    I'm looking for a 5.9L Magnum core, and many of the ones I'm seeing are in the 150,000-200,000 mile range, which sounds excessive, but is it really? I've done several GM LS-series swaps, and 150,000 miles on one of those motors is nothing- it's considered "just broken in". Is it the same with...

    Door Striker Location/Dimensions?

    Anyone have the dimensions to the center of the hole, and the diameter of the hole, for the door striker on a 67 Dart? Some hack welded mine to the jamb when the metal fractured (like it often does), and did a piss-poor job at that. I need to replace the metal correctly, and want to get the...

    Trunk Weatherstrip Pics?

    Anyone have pics of installed trunk weatherstripping on a 67 Dart (or similar)? I've got some rust in the weatherstrip channel that I need to repair, and I want to see where/how the weatherstripping sits so I know what needs to look really "pretty" after the repair vs what ends up covered.

    [WANTED] RH Rear Floor Pan for 67 Dart

    Anyone have a RH rear floor pan for a 67 Dart? Looking for the area your feet would rest in while sitting in the back seat. What looked like just a small rusty area has turned into much more. I can buy one through Auto Body Specialties, but figured I'd check here first.

    Small Block or Big Block- help me decide

    The original plan for the 67 Dart I just started on was to do a new-gen Hemi swap, but they're looking like more cost and work than their worth. So now I'm debating going 360 or 440 and doing a fuel injection setup so I'd have the drivability I'm looking for. I'll probably be going with an...

    Re-tensioning Hood Hinge Spring

    I wondered why my hood seemed hard to close, and in the process of disassembling the front end for the full re-do that has commenced, I found out why- the spring seems to have disengaged itself from the pin that holds the end, so the hinge just flops up and down now. I haven't tried to pull...

    Rear Suspension Upgrade for Better Handling

    Now that I'm deeper into planning the suspension setup for my 67 Dart, I'm wondering what the best option is for the rear suspension. The goal for the car is to have something that handles really well- not necessarily auto-cross quality, but that would be nice. The front will end up...

    Magnum/A-518 Swap- Speedometer?

    Evening, All- I'm looking at swapping a 5.9 and an A-518 into my '67 Dart. I've read a few pages of the threads here, and haven't found an answer regarding how to get a speedo to work with this swap. I believe I read in one thread that the Trans doesn't have a speedo signal- the signal...

    67 Dart GT Restomod

    Well, I've been a FABO member for years, just waiting for the right project to come along, and it finally did. I picked up a 67 Dart GT shell this weekend that needs some love, but is in pretty good shape overall. It came minus the engine and trans, but it has a 3.91 posi 8 3/4 rear in it...
