the typical "slapper" bars are not much good unless they are adjusted so the rubber bumper or snubber is close to the the spring or in contact with it at all times. Competition Engineering has the bars with the "J" hooks that allow you to adjust the pre-load on the bars for this, ran them on all...

i've never had any problems running 90/10's on the street, but i don't take corners fast either and i like running 15x3 1/2's too on the front, maybe it's just a personal preference. i was planning on doing the spring relocation on my '74 and mini-tubbing it so i could run some good sized...

the thing i never liked about the pinion snubber is that when it's set on it's most effective setting it's right up against the floor nearly. cruising on the street it get's a bit "bumpy". if you drop it down for "daily" or street driving you lose it's advantage should the need arise. with the...

i have to disagree with the mindset that traction bars dont work on a Mopar or are a waste of time. i have had 2 Darts with Southside Machine bars on them that planted the tires quite nicely. my first '74 with a 383 they worked awesome and now my '71 with the 360 they do the same. i searched out...

i'm trying to find out information on the original '67 Barracuda that was the "test mule" for the Hemi Dart and Barracuda program in 1968. this is the red and yellow car with the large Plymouth lettering on the sides. where is this car today? i know of a restored car that is in existance...

it should work out just fine for you. the 14" steel wheels on the front of my '71 are off of a '74 Valiant and i used the "cop car" dog dishes on them. i found the rims and the dog dishes in different junk yards. sometimes just browsing through , you can find alot of stuff. ask if they dont mind...

nice story! i have been there a time or two as well! i live in northern Virginia, but will be in Virginia beach for the 4th of July. if you are interested in getting together with a fellow A-body Mopar guy let me know. email is zinnspeed@msn.com Dave

i took my girlfriend and her best friend to thier senior prom in my 383 Dart in '97. probably the only two girls happy to go to prom in an old car instead of a limo like everyone else. soon after i ditched the girlfriend and married her best friend, funny how things work sometimes!

i finished installing these bars the other day and last night was the first time out with them. same results as with my '74, they work great! you can feel the rear end lift and push the tires into the ground on launch. with my current BFGoodrich Radial T/A's it still spins, not as much, and goes...

i have my '71 down as far as it will go now, with about 1/2" clearance on the bumpstop to the frame. i want to go lower, so will using these spindles get me down there where it want it to be?

if the floors and lower body is solid, i would keep it and put it back together. it looks like alot of surface rust going on there, but that is no big deal, it's the rot all of the way through that is the problem. put it together and go have some fun!

i just today got my car back on the ground after installing the Southside Machine lift bars i have. it now sits alot lower in the back than it did before. i also now have very little clearance between the fender lip and my tires, about a half inch. the rims are "0" offset marked on the backside...

i have American Racing Outlaw II's on the back of my '71, they are 15x8. i have no idea what backspace, they were already on the car when i got it. the tires are 255/60-15 BfGoodrich Radial T/A's. they fit with no rubbing either, close to the leaf spring and the fender lip, but no problems yet...

a guy told me that the mid to late 70's Cordoba's came with 15x3 1/2 steel wheels as the spares. he has some on the front of his '68 GTS with the typical skinny tires. i wouldn't mind having a set of my own. the only drawback was that the small dog dishes will not work on them, there are no...

i have a 360 in my car with header's. i'm guessing they are Hedmans, but they could be anything. i'm thinking that i'm going to have to get a local shop to hook them up and make the "S" bends and connections for me. the ones listed have a 2" or 2 1/4" inlet, but by the picture it looks to neck...

i'm planning on buying a set of Cragar S/S rims for my '71 Dart. it already has the 4 1/2" bolt pattern on it with front disc's from a '74 and the rear axle as well. i want to run the 15x4's on the front and 15x7's on the rear. will the standard offset 15x7's fit the back with a G60-15 tire? i'm...

i have 15x8 American racing Outlaws on the back of my '71 Dart with BFGoodrich Radial T/A 255/60-15's. the do not rub at all, but the back is raised with long shackles. i'm not sure of the backspace on the rims, but there is only 1/2 inch or so of clearance between the tires sidewall and the...

i am considering buying a set of sidepipes for my '71 Dart. has anyone here ever installed a set on their Dart or A-body? please i'm looking for information on how it was done or what to look for, where or what kind to buy. the set i'm looking at are listed in Jeg's and are available in...

i couldnt tell you why they engraved the heads with all of those rockers or why the intake has the funny shaped opening, it is supposed to be a 340! for this build though it will be representing a standard 318. i plan on painting it that common yellow they all seemed to be with a black interior.

here are a few pics of that kit from AMT with the chassis and engine compartment parts from Revell's '68 Dart kit. the engine is from the AMT '71 Duster. the "Dart Sport" kit has very poor detailing on alot of the parts , so i swapped them for some much better parts. there is a resin conversion...

one of my most favorite cars i have ever owned was my 4-door '71 Dart. i wish it had a V-8, i probably would have kept it. at the time i was already building a 383 Dart 2-door. i should have put the 383 in the 4-door. it was a nice army green color with whitewalls and hubcaps. i turned the...

any one have some pictures of the rest of the property? everyone photographs the corner, but i would like to see alot more. what about the legendary service department?

someone mention models? here are a few of my Mopar builds or in progress builds. i hope you guys like them. i have one of the '70 Swinger resin kits too. i want to build it what i would like my '71 to look like eventually. dAVE

the gas tank is in the trunk, i have a 12 gallon fuel cell in there. it's alot of fun watching people when i pop the trunk to fill up. gotta come up with something creative and usefull for the old filler hole. the back of my car is going to get lowered as well, those long shackles are coming off.

if it works here are a few pics of my '71

i ran 26x8.5-15 Mickey Thompson ET Drag's on my '74 Dart in the stock wheelwells. they were mounted on Ford truck 15x7 steel wheels. my current '71 Dart has 255-60-15's on A/R 15x8 Outlaws in the back. the fit is perfect and they dont rub at all, but then i dont turn corners very fast either...

if you move the springs and mini-tub it you can fit a 325-50-15. i have some pictures from a local track of a '67-'69 Barracuda with them under it. it was from the pics and the information i learned from the car owner that i decided to do the same to my '74 Dart. he was running 15x10's with...

i never had a garage until last year about this time. now i already need more space! i have three projects and only a two car garage. i really want to get my Dart inside for the winter, but my Pontiac will never go outside and i need a storage space for my '49 Plymouth coupe. i really dont want...

what were you doing in the rafters? looking for Scamp parts?

i just finished this one up. '69 Dart with a mild 440/727. little too small to drive , but..... hope you guys like it, it is 1/25 scale!
