    A body wag.....

    Picked up a Dart wagon on Monday. Been wanted a Valiant or Dart wagon for years. They are hard to find. This one is factory 273 with factory air! Runs and drives great, and has interior that is awesome and doesn't even need anything but cleaned up. Planning on doing a pro street type deal, and...

    Anybody put a LA Mopar in an AMC Gremlin?

    Dont ask me how, but I have ended up with a decent 74 Gremlin. For $200 I wasn't just going to leave it there for someone else to buy. Want to make a little bracket car out of it. Something that could be built on a budget and go low 7's in the 1/8th. At first I was thinking that I would pick up...

    Hey guys, Got the factory pedal in my 71 dart, and have a Lokar cable and mount. My butterflies in the carb are not opening fully before the pedal hits the floor. Heres the deal. The part of the pedal that the cable slides into is all the way against the firewall when everything is hooked up...

    Deadly Wagon

    I'm just about done sorting out my Volare wagon bracket car after converting it to methanol. Was having a hard time staying green because of the car moving so much harder than before. Played around adjusting the car on friday test and tune to try to keep it in the beams a little longer...

    putting the Wagon on methanol

    Been running my Dart and my Volare wagon on E85 the last two years. Won the track championship last year using both cars, so I cant say anything negative about E85. Its been good to me, and I plan to still run it on the Dart. I had an 830cfm E85 carb on the wagon. When I bought the car it...

    Not an A body, but cool anyway. Took my 78 Volare wagon off the street and dedicated it to being a true footbrake car to use at some big money footbrake races and another local track that wont let me run the dart because of the 2 step/transbrake. Best in street/strip trim was low 7.30's in...

    wagon pics added........painting roll cages

    I've always spent countless hours prepping and taping up the inside of the car when the time came to paint the cages in my cars. Then getting inside and spray bombing with rattle can wheel paint. It always turned out nice, but scratched off really easy from climbing over the door bars. So, I...

    ...... we may just win a race or two this year in the no box class. First time in the car since November. Tried a different carb for most of the test and tune. Never could get it where I wanted it. So, before test and tune was over, I put the old carb on and made 2 passes 45 minutes...
