That's real cool man

Hey y'all, it's been a little while since I've been on. I got a new job at an oil rigging company, so I've been a little busy. I ended up getting a powder coating system, but haven't had too much time to practice lately. I have powder coated an ashtray and an exhaust flange lol. I also just got...

I got bored tonight, decided to make a video highlighting the progress I've made on my Dart so far. Dodge Dart Sport Progress Video - YouTube

Hey Higgs, the wife and I got back in one piece! Thanks a ton for the rear end, and also for the beers. We'll have to meet up again sometime. Next time the beers on me. Take care man.

My family has always raced since before I was even born. I grew up learning how to assemble chevy 350's. I love it. The issue is, that's all we really did. I've never built a transmission, or a rear end. We usually had different shops do that. We'd have out blocks machined, and the shop that...

Hollywood, sorry for the late response. I pm'd you. That's a great deal man, thanks a lot!

Thank you. I'm not really set on what I'm building, I'm just trying to replace the 7 ¼" in my car with an 8 ¾. I was gonna call the guy and offer $200, but I might just go with the link you posted. I've looked for 8 ¾ rears for around 4 months now (and by looked, admittedly all I've done is...

Can anyone tell what type of suregrip this is by looking at it? If you can, what are you looking at? I can't tell… I think he's asking a bit much IMO, but I'm getting sick of looking around, so I'll piece an 8.75 together. http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/4609740902.html

Welcome! Show us that Demon!

If rumble passes on the TQ I'm interested as well.

No sooner did I rebuild my 904, do I find a pretty good deal on a complete 1970 383 engine. The guy says he pulled it out of a D100 years ago, it needs a rebuild, and he only wants $200. Seems like a deal to me, when I was racing street stocks we'd pay almost $1 a cubic inch, usually $300 for a...

This actually leads to my next question! When I bought my house, my garage had one light, one 4 plug outlet, and one 2 plug outlet in the rafters for the door opener, all on the same circuit. I am by no means an electrician, but I know enough to tap into other outlets to run more outlets to...

I got a burfday coming around the corner. The wife said she'd get me two tools I've been mentioning! I'm gonna get an eastwood dual voltage powder coating kit, and a welder!. Before I go hog wild on the welder, I wanted to get some opinions on the one I've been looking at. I only have 110 in my...

Wow man, looks like a very clean, solid car. Keep us updated!

Looks pretty nice man

Hmm, the other pics didn't upload. All well, here they are! Thanks guys, she could still use a good buffin, but she's pretty clean. The new top is definitely on my list, just makin her mechanically sound first

Got her washed up and waxed. Vacuumed out, glass cleaned, leather seats cleaned, dash and door panels washed up. She cleans up pretty good!

Just some food for thought, I have my account set up to send me emails when I get a pm, and when a thread I am subscribed to gets a reply. Even though it's supposed to send me emails, sometimes it takes days. About every third or fourth day I will get flooded with emails from days back.

When I went to pick up my transmission from the tranny shop, the owner had this Plymouth pickup truck. Pretty nice.

I'm no tranny guy, but if you have to get it up around 55 to shift to 3rd, sounds like throttle pressure linkage.

I spent $1,150 on a dart sport that didn't run lol, you did good man. Welcome to Fabo

While gutting the trunk I ran into some odd loose connections. Also, while working tonight, for no reason at all, my dome light stopped working, and my gauge lights worked (my gauge lights haven't worked since I bought the car… I'm hoping some of you can tell me what some of those connections...

Took some pictures of the interior today. I replaced the clear plastic oil pressure line with a nice copper line. I had air bubbles in the line, so I was getting sparatic readings… Sometimes 20ish psi, sometimes 0 lol. With the new line in, I get 25 psi at idle, and 50 psi @35 mph. I gutted the...

Thanks! I actually forgot all about that post, kinda makes this one null and void lol. It's been too long for me to make any progress I guess, I gotta get on it

When I went to the races last night I saw a nice looking yard right next door to Colorado National Speedway. I plan on making a trip there within the next week or two. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Hey y'all, so I learned awhile back that my car was originally a power steerling car, converted to manual steering probably when the previous owner swapped in a 318 in place of the /6. When I tried replacing my Idler arm, I learned that an Idler arm for a 1973 is the wrong part, it required the...

Haha, it's funny that you mention that. I live in Colorado too, and I was kicking around the idea of taking my car to a show. My car is nowhere near finished, rust bubbles here and there, greasy engine compartment, bare metal roof (tore off old vinyl.) I wasn't gonna do it, I was gonna wait...

Video here, backing out of the garage. First time this car has gone in reverse in years. Dart reverse vid - YouTube

Here are some pictures of the dart after the install was done. I worked through the night. It didn't take too long, but I went to the races before I started, so I got a late start lol. Took the car around town. Shifts great.

Some more pictures of the transmission install. Neutral safety is shot, wasn't connected in the first place. means I have no reverse lights, which I never noticed, because I didn't have revers :p
