    What is this type of car called?

    Hey guys. I'm debating on something my dad keeps suggesting I do with the dart. He thinks I should cut the roof entirely off, leaving only the windshield. No other roof, pillars in back, nothing. No convertible or top of any kind. He keeps calling it a "California cruiser " But I can't...

    Rebuild 5.7 or buy something else?

    OK, so about a year ago i found a 5.7 on craigslist, bought it for $200. Guy said it ran but had a tick, so his client wanted it replaced. Had no electronics so no way to fire it.

    Daily Driver Roll Cage, comfort?

    I am goint to be stuffing an up to 700hp hemi into a daily driver, i use that term loosely as I won't be driving it every single day, but a good portion. With that much HP, I don't think having just subframe connectors will cut it. I don't want a nasco/drag style roll cage, looks ugly and...

    How to turn a hardtop into a covertible?

    Ok, So i understand its hard and probably out of my league, but what is actually involved? Obviously the unibody issue comes into play, but if you make decent subframe connectors, bascially turning it into a full chassis frame...that should take care of that issue, right?

    I hate it, I feel so betrayed and insulted. I have never despised a dodge vehicle as much as this new "dart". I think they screwed up badly, they decided to ride the coattails of the new charger and challenger, decided "lets make a compact car...and use a nostalgic name like we did before to...

    For those of you that ARE NOT, using alterkation or something similar. What TBs are you using under the new hemi 5.7 or 6.1? I've been in contact with Mike at PST, and he suggests running the 0.096", over the 1.03". " As far as torsion bars go I would say .096" is probably the best bet. They...
