    [FOR SALE] Small block Mickey Thompson valve covers, coated by Phoenix Specialty Coatings

    Hello everyone, Long time no post, but a while back I changed some priorities with kids and such, and the car project will be another day down the road. I sold most of everything I had except for these valve covers. I held onto them because of how nice they were and how much I liked them...

    Chrysler Mopar 360 E58 small block project (Portland)

    More or less listing this from a Craigslist ad I made, and a thread I had going on here from a while back. I ended up getting a '67 GTS 383 and the 360 is bagged up in my garage with nothing being done to it. Everything is in pristine condition and I am no longer wanting to build this engine...

    [FOR SALE] 67 Dart GTS 383/4spd

    Hi everyone, I've come to the realization that I do not have the funds nor the knowledge to actually make this dream of restoring my Dart a reality. I purchased this car for $2850 and it's been in my garage for nearly two years now, with absolutely no progress made. I just can't do the...

    Radiator tray? Parts identification help!

    Hey guys! Just about to order some interior pieces for the project and haven't quite been able to figure out if this is something that can be fixed/replaced, and if so, what is it? :) It's a metal slab that sits in front of the K-member and it would appear to me it's where the radiator...

    Old Dart GTS ad

    Saw this on eBay and picked it up...thought it was a neat old custom tuner ad for a Dart GTS. Not sure how common this ad is--I had never seen it before. Just wanted to share it with you all.

    Painters in the Portland, OR area

    Anyone have an idea on where I can start for a paint job that's not going to cost me my life savings up here? Car is almost all stripped, just going for one solid color, nothing fancy. Never really looked into decent painters here and trying to avoid either a 2+ year wait time or $5k.

    Please tell me I made a smart commitment....

    Local craigslist deal that I committed to buying. I'm nervous dropping the cash, as I haven't even seen this thing in person. My dad went down and checked it out today for me and said it's solid. $2850, for one of the couple hundred 67 Dart GTS models ever made. Originally a 383 motor car...

    68 Dart 4 door, Eastern Oregon

    If only this thing was a 2 door..... http://eastoregon.craigslist.org/cto/3335553099.html The car looks absolutely beautiful for what it is. If everything is original, I'm extremely impressed.

    To buy or not to buy?

    I'll ask how much you guys think it's worth first, then tell you what I am able to pick it up for. No motor or trans, originally had a 273 so it had the V8 K-member, no front seat, solid floor, 7 1/4 rear end, glass all good except for cracked windshield, grill is perfect, body is pretty...

    How bad did I #$&% my piston up?

    So I'm installing my piston rings with a ring spreader, and the spreader LIGHTLY scratched the surface of the piston. I tried to be as gentle/delicate as possible but the f'ing tool bumped into it as the ring popped out of the spreader. I can BARELY feel it if I run my finger nail along it...

    Reusing a distributor?

    Hi guys, My apologies if this has already came up once before. I tried searching the threads for a bit to potentially answer my own question but I was unable to find anything. I have the original distributor sitting on my garage floor right now from my '79 LA 360 E58. The engine ran and...

    My 360 rebuild adventure.

    So.... Full disclosure: I know absolutely nothing about nothing, and I'm learning a ton as I move along. With that, I'm sure I've made a couple of mistakes that will probably be evident as I make this post and thread. Also, this is all for my 67 Dart restoration project. A couple months...

    Tail stripes on a 67 Dart?

    Am I correct in assuming that the 67 was never made or offered with tail striping? What's the consensus on putting tail stripes ON a 1967 Dart?

    Engine painting colors...thoughts?

    So here's what I have in my head. Shoot me in the face if this seems ridiculous at all. My first thought was painting the block this color, it's like a teal or something: http://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/1969Dart.html If that's too much blue/green, maybe just stick with Hemi...

    WTB 67 Dart dashboard

    Trying to avoid buying a "dash cap" or whatever I keep finding online, but would rather find an original dashboard. Color doesn't necessarily matter as I assume that can be painted with relatively low to no bad after effects. Thanks a lot.

    The Summit shopping cart

    So I'm about to drop some cash on parts for my project. I never really thought this all out before I really jumped into this and how much it was going to cost but I think it'll be worth it overall. So the 360 E58 is sitting in the garage right now soaking in degreaser/oven cleaner. Once I...

    Engine/transmission exterior cleaning

    So I've got the engine/trans on the cherry picker, hosing it down with degreaser and scrubbing/wiping the heck out of the exterior of this whole thing. Kind of making my way around the transmission right now and getting all the gunk off the oil pan. I'll eventually make it to the engine itself...

    Headers on a 360 in a '67 Dart

    Hi all, My project involves placing a 360 inside my '67 Dart instead of the Slant 6 that is in there right now. It's my assumption that full length headers will not fit with the engine inside the engine bay for my Dart. With that said, my plan B was to buy a set of those "Block Hugger"...

    67 Dart rear quarter window glass

    Do you guys happen to know if glass from a 67 Dart Swinger is the same as a 67 Dart 2D Sedan? Mine is missing the LH quarter glass at present and I happened to find a piece online but it says it's for a Swinger. Thanks a lot, everyone! Kyle

    67 Dart Rear Bumper

    Does anyone know of a place that sells rear bumpers for a 1967 Dart, or know of another model that matches the rear bumper for a 67 Dart? I find a lot of places online selling aftermarker chrome front bumpers but I can't seem to find a rear one for the life of me (which is what I desperately...

    Repairing the grille on a 67 Dart question

    Does anyone have any ideas on how one would repair the black areas on a 1967 Dodge Dart grille? The area I'm referring to is like what is shown in this picture. I'm kind of clueless on how to restore something like that. Mask and paint? Thanks for your ideas Kyle...

    Wanting to buy 1967 Dart bucket seats

    Not sure what i'm getting myself into right yet, but I'm looking to get my hands on a pair of 1967 Dodge Dart bucket seats. If I understand everything correctly, I can get just the frames/tracks and all they would need would be foam/covers? If that's the case, I'd be interested in obtaining...

    New user from Portland, OR

    Hi everyone, just checking in and saying hi from Portland, Oregon. My dad told me about this site and suggested registering on it (I don't think he's on here, just knew of it). He's a huge Mopar fan which rubbed off on me, and I inherited a '67 Dart from when I was still in high school...
