Spend the money and go Borla - sounds really nice and controlled at idle, but at wide open throttle it’s a screamer. Being a straight through design, there is virtually no power loss. You could go Magnaflow too, but personally I like the Borla sound better (I’ve had both) Chambered and “turbo”...

I had ordered some parts from Showcars for a Corvette I used to own, and the experience made me never want to buy anything from them again. This was in 1998/1999, things may have changed - though I personally have formed my own opinion. I was in Toronto on business a month or so after...

I know this is old - and I'm digging it from the boneyard........ I've looked high and low for a fiberglass dash for my '69 Dart - Glasstek doesn't build one, WS Racing as I knew it no longer exists........ Anyone know where one might be had?

I have officially stalled on the project for a while..... I will definetly be going the RMS route, though I will be ordering early fall. I have run into a few hiccups: 1. More rust on the chassis than anticipated = much more surgery 2. The vehicle will be moved from my 2 car garage...

Too bad you're so far...... I have a set of 452's that are almost finished, well one head is done and the other is almost finished. This was an abandoned project a few years ago as I was wanting to go "stealth" with factory components at one point, now I am all over weight savings. I would...

Ad states Cincinnati but profile state Kentucky? You are a tad further than I would like, but would you ship to Canada? Assuming it is Cincinnati of course. I wish the were closer, I am in need of good complete doors!

Glass up a set yourself, it's really easy. Just be willing to "hack" an original set. If you were closer I would gladly assist in showing you how, I like working with 'glass.

Me too! I'll have pics up when I get further along in the build. Found out tonight that plasma cutters don't like sand from being blasted at some point between panels that were welded on top of each other. All I thought I really had to deal with was a little impact on the front...

I meant F150 step side/flare side.......... Though it would appear to be only 1/2 a tub.

Kinda looks like a Ford Ranger step side, the body lines on the flare/tub at the rocker very much are reminiscent of a late 80's-early 90's Ford. I'm not saying it isn't an original or original dealer add on, I'm just saying I don't recall this ever on a Dakota nor does it appear to look like...

BUT..... For handling purposes this allows more weight in the center of the vehicle. This moves some unsprung weight, and items weighted at 50% unsprung weight back 1-2" and by doing so transfers sprung weight forward offering better front to rear balance. This is slight, but any amount helps...

I need to find a B-body housing and axles. Unless I am lucky enough to find someone local that wants to trade an A-body diff drum to drum for a B-body diff drum to drum.

If you are rebuilding the engine, another few changes while it's apart is no big deal. If you are only expecting to perform a cam swap and have everything just work out, calling someone like Hughes Engines might be a good option. I know a couple of guys whom have purchased valve train...

eBay There always seems to be a few there.

I had better clarify a few things for the build of the rear suspension. This will be a triangulated 4-Link with mini tubs. Hopefully this combination will afford the most possible clearance without going to a full tub. I will have from the frame rail to the lip of the quarter panel/wheel tub -...

http://sjvhk.jabzm.servertrust.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FST-F14 This would be the wheel I think I would go with. I saw a set on a Factory Five GTM and I love them. The Offset I feel could be tailored just enough to make everything work (RMS Front + whatever works in the rear)...

The discussion of B-Body differentials seems widely discussed, and an excellent option for A-Bodies looking at go to a positive offset wheel. Has anyone gone to a C-Body differential, added Disc Brakes, and oversize positive offset wheels? I have, or pretty much Bill at RMS will have the...

The only major stipulation I would like to maintain is no cage. I will reinforce everything, weld anything, but at this point no cage. Who knows, I may change my mind as I get deeper in the build. All I can think of when I see a street car with a cage is the flashy "Pro Street" cars of the...

There will also be a massive reduction in weight from use of aluminum and fiberglass throughout the build. Fiberglass: Hood Trunk Fenders Bumpers Inner fenders (custom) Dash (custom) Aluminum: Heads Intake Water Pump Water Pump Housing Radiator Suspension: RMS Front...

I will be doing a significant amount of additions/revisions to the body of my Dart through the course of the build and would like to know materials used/recommended by others. The majority of what I would consider to be the minimum of structurally sound as reinforcement materials is as...

Needs to be after in your case....... If you are cutting for bigger valves, you'll be forced to grind more to match the bowl/throat into the larger valve seat. Even if it were the same size there'd be additional work required after the new seats were installed.

Perfect! Just wanted to make sure you had received it, since I had given you the incorrect email address when we spoke. Ponder away!

Bill, I had sent you an email through RMS, did it work? I realized I had given you a work email / home email hybrid, I barely use my personal email unless I am expecting something.

Scampman416, any update here?

Since I am going to use Bill's front end, what do I do with the old stuff? Vehicle 1969 Dodge Dart What is it worth? It's a true 340 K-Member with Manual Box, complete, but will need Rebuild/Resto......... Just Curious, as I think I am going to list it locally. Should I offer service to...

I finally spoke to Bill today, and I am quite eager.......... Updates to follow................................................... :toothy5:

Bill, I definately know where you are coming from regarding the fiberglass. That was some advise I took as soon as it was received, and is in another thread on here (or on BBD or PT, I can't remember). I did order ALL items listed from AAR Fiberglass, and ordered regular weight items, with...

Didn't have a chance to call Bill yesterday, I didn't end up home until 11:30 last night. I will call next week, as soon as my projects (work; I wish it was the car) start to close. I'm out of town own Monday, tomorrow is Father's Day, and today I need to go to a few project sites, meet...

As far as the upper control arm mounts; factory located/installed vs. Modified, if the vehicle is set at 5" ride height at K-Member to mantain correct geometry would the mount not also need to move up 2"? The upper ball joint would be near binding at rest wouldn't it? Again this is all based...
