What happened? I seemed to have fallen from our conversation :-) Did you dive into the "swap"?

Gimme a buz when you get home. We'll start that Hemi-swap :-)

Hey Chris. I did the exact same thing on my Swinger. It was really one of the easiest of the thousand projects that involves restoring an on Dodge :-) My doner was from an 05 Crown Vic 28-spline and like yours is a 1-legger. I feel it's time to do a small upgrade and drop a Limited Slip in. I...

That is a NICE FRIKKIN CAR!!!

Best I can do here buddy. The mission was focused and I didn't take many in-process pics :-( I left the weld seam visible, for those that don't think it really happened.

No offense but Standup 303 posted if anyone had tried to remove the beak nose. He's got his canvas and I respect it. I respect every's car that they like/love. I never stated that it was "an improvement" but in my opinion, it is. I had a 73 Dart Sport back in the day and I tolerated the beak...

Angle grinder will fix it. I cut mine off. It was a lot of work but I like it. Angle grinder takes the beak off, no problem. Angle grinder right down the center of the hood takes out that tall ridge too. I got a 71 bumper and had to use my angle grinder to shorten the corners to fit. I went on...

Hmmm... OK. I already have either the "no start" or the "no transmission" issues. It seems like Hot Wire and Mega Squirt get the most praises. I'll be doing some phone time with them tomorrow. Thanks for the quick input (I wasn't expecting that :-) ).

Ken. Did you get the issues cleared up? I'm about to have to buy a stand alone and you stated that Swap Specialties was a "big mistake". Are they junk? G50

Block heater. Carry on with the build, buddy... G50

I just NOW got this notice but I see you've posted it a couple of weeks ago :-( If you've made up your mind, then it's done. THIS is the very reason that I moved my entire steering shaft away from the header area (about an inch). I used 2 3/4" swivel joints to accommodate the angle. It created...

I finally see why everyone's so wound up about motor mounts, TTI, spools, steering box... My spooles were pretty shot. Not surprising as the entire bottom looked like they used the car as a stump-jumper. 1 MM was fairly cracked and the other was welded at the factory, late on a Friday before a...

HAHAHAHAHA! Sublimeone! You are SO ******* right-on! I was a professional welder for the first 20 years out of high school. Metal instills no fear in this man! Why can't I do this? The answer turns into step 1 of the journey. I get my tune right (electronics is my huge weakness) and plates on...

OK So that explains why there was no return spring then. Now what? There's a contact bolt (if you will) between the MC and the BB. There's plenty of room to screw that in and lock it down again. Could it just be from run too far out from the factory (China?)? G50

Time to start getting the little "bugs" out of the car now. Front calipers weren't releasing. after doing some checking around all of my work and adjusting the push rod, I found out that my pedal wasn't fully returning up. 1 dumb spring and it's fixed. Who's dumb here? :-) I guess the only bad...

I was just scrolling along in here, searching for ideas. My front calipers were licking down and not releasing (all 4 brakes are all new). I popped the MC lose from the booster and BAM! everything's fine. bolted it back up and lock up :-( Come to find out (stupid me), brake pedal was returning...

Hey gwmax65! A year ago, I did the halo lights swap that abodies posted in their DIY section. Thanks for that how-to. It went great and it as stoopid easy! So, 1 little question. Is there any way to tone done the halo brightness? They bright! Thanks again for your artical. Saved a LOT of...

She runs pretty bad and rides terrible :-) I don't know wtf I was thinking when I rebuilt the PS gearbox. Put the pitman shaft seal in backwards and never noticed til run time. You know what it's like (being 56 yo) to get one of those out on jack stands?! The alignment wasn't even close. Once I...

Done!

Man! That sucks (for the reason of buying all new tools)! AND.... I really hate to 1-up you but I had my boy mechanic over last weekend and we figgered out the gas pedal issue. ***** fired right up and worked like the monster she is too! You HAVE TO check out Blake at DIYHEMI!!! In this pic, his...

CRAP! Sorry about the break-in and steal. Damn hoodlums :-( I've burned off a lot of time, hitting the wall but not even giving up. Hooked up with Blake at DIYHEMI and bought his Quick Harness (it couples with a stock harness and ECU). He worked with me quite well and we got her fired up! Still...

vega73 dart. How's your Mopar looking? G50

While reassembling my interior, I have fallen short by 1 seat belt :-( I'm not even sure that I had a full set when I got this thing disassembled 3 years ago. So, I went to that A Body Mopar Replacement Seat Belt site and looked around. I likes what I saw and ordered a set. Time will tell...

Same, with the poly. I got the stock trans mount with my junkyard (Ram) trans. Mounted everything up and built my Xmember from there. Hooking up to my frame connectors is SO reassuring too! Keep up the Mopar Faith! You can do it!

Aw geez. I don't remember the dia. but they're regular old 28 spline. Slipped right into the old housing. An inch shorter because it would increase my offset and expose a little more inside rim on the Torque Thrust wheels that Im about to buy.

Perfect-O! Mosier... Nice peeps. VERY helpful!
