    Hi there

    I has been a while since I posted, so I thought I would bring people up to date. Since my last post I traded my Dart for a 73 Challenger. I had a 73 back in the day, and have been wanting another one for ever, so when this deal came along I went for it. I could not be happier. The Challenger...

    Spare tire well

    This SMALL project has really gone south on me. I discovered about a year ago that my spare tire well has pin holes in it. Been having trouble finding a used well that was rust free so I decided to buy new. Now I can't even find a new one!!! Has anyone here had this problem, and HOW were you...

    shipping only to the US

    NOTHING makes me madder then seeing this on an add here at FABO. Why and I ask why is it such a hassle to ship to Canada? I have shipped parts to the US , and it is NOT difficult. If one of the members here that says this EVER wants to buy parts from me they will NOT get them. Rant over

    Difference between 3:55 and 3:23 gears

    I am presently running 3:55 gears with 24 in tall tires. At 60 MPH the car is revving at 3100 RPM's. I have a set of 3:23 gears in another pot and was wondering what difference I would see with a gear change. We are looking at a trip next summer and I was wondering if it would be worth my while...

    Steering wheel cleaning

    Even after I clean the steering wheel in my 68 dart it still feels dirty. Is there any way I can clean and protect the wheel so it doesn't feel gross!!When I rub the wheel I still get dirt almost balling up if you know what I mean.

    How rare is a 68 GSS?

    As some of you are aware I have a soft spot for 68 Darts, and would LOVE to own a GSS. Just how rare are these cars? I know that they were only from Grand Spaulding Dodge, but always wondered just how many were made? I need to start buying lotto tickets if I ever plan to own one! Also wondered...

    Modifying B&M shifter

    I want to modify my B&M shifter so I can put a pistol grip handle on it, and was wondering if anyone here had done it. I REALLY like the look of the B&M shifter with the pistol grip but if I just add a pistol grip handle it will be WAY too tall. Here is a picture of what my shifter looks like now.

    Smoking problem fixed!

    Look about feeling stupid! I have been having a problem with my Dart smoking at WOT. At half or three quarters throttle all was well, but when I punched it I could spray for mosquitos. I went over everything , but could not find a problem. I got a brain fart the other day and removed the air...

    bucket651

    Just want to tell everyone that this member is a stand up guy. I sent him some parts and he put a money order in the mail. Canada Post decided to loss the envelope ( big surprise). Once I let him know that I had not received the money he put a plan together. While on vacation in my area he took...

    66 Valiant/ Dart question

    A buddy of mine just bought a 66 Valiant Signet. In the US this would be a Dart, but I am wondering what model of Dart would be the same as a Signet as he is missing some trim by the looks of things. The car is in a snow bank right now so it is impossible to see for sure what is there and what...

    So Scarebird it is!

    So I went ahead and bought the adapters from Scarebird to convert my 68 Dart to disc brakes. So far I have everything I need except for a new master cylinder. So now I need to get the rotors drilled for small bolt pattern and get at it. Let me know of any difficulties anyone had installing this...

    replacing the spare tire wheel question

    By the looks of things I will be replacing the bottom of my spare tire well but the gas tank is in the car. How close is the tank to the well? Can I cut the bottom out of the wheel without also cutting the gas tank?

    Trunk redo!!

    My wife made the mistake of saying that the trunk in our Dart did not look very good. After looking at a number of different things I realized that the only way to go was to remove the rust proofing that had been put on by a PO and redone by me. I now have a lot of work to do as the whole trunk...

    Home made security alarms

    My garage got broken into 5 years ago at Christmas. After that I wanted but could not afford a security system for the garage, so I went red neck. I set up a baby monitor in the garage with a buzzer on the doors so I could hear what is going on in my shop. 5 years later and I am still using the...

    Wilwood master cylinder

    I bought a master cylinder adapter from a member here and he asked what I was going to run for a master cylinder, and that got me thinking. Would I gain anything by running a wildwood master cylinder as compared to a mopar unit? Thanks for your input!

    Header coating

    I took the plunge and bought a set of headers last week. The problem is that they are used and in need on paint. I am going to blast them to get them ready for paint, but am not sure how to finish them. Let me know what you have tried and what worked along with what did not work. Thanks!!

    stupid question of the day about exhausts

    I am going to take off the old shitty factory exhaust manifolds this winter and replace them with headers. What I am wondering is-will this change the sound of my car? I hope not as I love the way it sounds now. The manifolds I have now are late model 318 manifolds and I am running magnaflow 40...

    I'm addicted to Hot Wheels!

    I think that I have a problem! Every time I see hot wheels I have to buy them. I now have hot wheels cars, trucks, carriers and even hot wheels valentines. They are cheap and easy to find which makes it better and also worse all at the same time!! Please tell me that I am not alone in this.

    anyone running methanol injection?

    I am thinking of putting Metanol injection on my 340 to control knock. It has 13:1 pistons in it and it does NOT like the fuel I can buy here in Canada. I thought about pulling the engine apart and putting new pistons, but the motor runs very well and is balanced. I REALLY don't want to mess...

    So I now know what my winter project will be!!

    We went for a 70 mile drive yesterday to a carshow and a recurring problem became MUCH worse! With our crappy fuel my 13:1 340 did not like the drive at all!!!! I guess it is time to take it out and make it more street friendly. The problem with this is that I LOVE the way it sounds and works...
