Planning on being there too :-)

The owner decided to run the vintage Hemi Orange paint on the LO23! Awesome color choice. It looks metallic in the picture because of the way the light is hitting the curve of the scoop. It is not the newer metallic version. The hood, doors, and trunk lid are all painted with the body soon to...

Hello Calsdart, there are no LO23 specific upper A arms. They used the factory uppers. Hope this helps :-)

Your Dart is looking great! Keep up the good work :-).

Hello nsm. The wires are being re-popped by Layson's and run $1200.00 a set. I hope this helps.

Hello Zac. The Demon is coming along nicely man! If your rear main seal leaks again, purchase a one piece from fastfish.com. I had my motor out 3 times and finally installed their one piece. No leaks, I mean bone dry after 500 miles of street driving and several passes at the drag strip. I...

Current progress on the LO23 Dart includes completed body work after complete sandblasting. Greg is wrapping up a trip in North Carolina where he has researched what is probably the most original 2 owner unmolested survivor of an LO23 Dart out there. He has done this in an effort to restore...

Hell Calsdart, Unless you are building a 100 point clone I would not worry about it too much. However, Greg is in North Carolina researching what is probably the "most original" 2 owner non molested surviving 1968 LO23. Once he returns with all of his research and pictures I will be happy to...

Hello ns1rm21, I will inquire and get back to you with the information.

Hello Ishore. You need to bend a 4 foot long by 2 1/2" piece of 16 gauge steel to 90* and use a shrinker/stretcher to form the inner wheel lip of the outer quarter skin. That will provide rigidity and the necessary surface area to weld the inner wheel well to. When you initially create your...

Looks great lightweight :-) Makes me want to share mine too.

The K frame that was in it was hacked up along the way by another owner and will be replaced with a correct period piece. I will be certain to post pictures as soon as the pieces are ready :-). Until then, check out these excellent reproductions of the original 1968 Hemi plug wires. These...

So glad to see a super stock forum! I asked Joey to move the current SS&AFX restoration of a real 4 speed LO23 over to this forum on your recommendation davescuda. Thanks for the heads up :-). What sort of information are you looking for? General information or something specific? I will be...

The LO23 is back from media blasting! This thing is in great shape and retains its original fiberglass fenders and hood! The only panel that needed replacing was the trunk pan. We hope the owner will agree to retain all of the originality including the black engine compartment, exposed shock...

Yes, I believe we finished that one in early 2015. Nice to see it again :-)

Sorry about screwing your name up 1969VADart. I was looking at Gerahead's restoration prior to looking at your page. Oops

Congratulations Gerahead! It is looking great :-). I remember when you first started this project and I am proud of how well you have done :-)

Speaking of crude. Check out the lip of the rear quarter panels. Hurst chopped the inner wheel housing and hammered under the outer skin to create the radius in the rear quarter panels.

I couldn't agree more famous bob! I am anxious to see it go :-)

It does look like someone tried to "beautify" it in the past. I am looking forward to seeing this car after it is dipped.

You are correct! The passenger side along the shock tower brace is bashed in for the Hemi. Hurst was quite crude in how they modified these cars.

Thanks a bunch Stephenf. Do you have a thread? I would love to check out your car :) I posted some new pics of my current cooling system and I was able to use a factory B body fan shroud. Looks factory. I am really happy with the cooling and the looks of it :)

Just began a new thread of the members restoration forum for the L023 car :-) My Dad just began work on it this week.

"This just in"... An original, 1 of 80 built 1968 Dodge Dart L023 factory 4-speed cars arrived at the shop of SS&AFX for a complete ground up restoration by Greg Fernald a couple of weeks ago. We are in the process of gathering its historical providence and here is what we know about the cars...

Yes, The fastfish part is designed to be installed with the motor out of the car and disassembled on an engine stand.

I just got the news from my Dad that a real L023 car will be making its way into the shop for a ground up restoration soon! I may start another thread with that restoration as it progresses. I'll keep you posted :)!

Yes LocuMob, I cannot wait for the fall weather and to hit the track to put down some 11 second runs :-). I plan to show the car as well. I missed nearly two seasons and have plenty to make up for.

I just wanted to post how well the Fastfishautoparts.com one piece rear main seal works. I have been wrestling with repairing rear main seal leaks ever since completion of my build last year. I ve used the two piece rubber design from Mopar and yes, they work well if everything is perfect...

Hello rm69Dart. I have just been through the ringer on getting my 440 68 Dart to run cooler in our scorching Arizona weather. Have you checked the flow pressure of your cooling system? Coolant flow is a major component often overlooked. This can be checked using a simple store bought line...

Hello everyone and happy upcoming 4th of July weekend :-)!! It has been quite some time since my last posted update and for good reason. I had no idea what a pain in the a** properly repairing a rear main seal leak on a 440 could be! I have had the motor out twice since the initial build...
