    CA to GA road trippin

    Thanks! Yea the car wasn't as 'road tested' as I would have liked, we put maybe 30 miles total on it before we hit the road and the only 2 issues we had was one at Donner lake, near Lake Tahoe, the shift linkage came apart (we bent a finishing nail to use as a cotter pin that fell out, bailing...

    And incase anyone's wondering, although it was all about smiles per gallon we still had to keep track and we averaged 15-17mpg with the stock slant 6 with 2.94 gears and 195/75r14 tires doing 75-80mph

    Thanks everyone, it was an epic journey! Something I never thought I would do it a 48 year old vehicle! We left Oct 2nd and my flight back was Oct 10th. Having more time would have been the one thing I wish we had more of. I daily drove my Duster for about a year and a half before I swapped it...

    After that incident we got donuts and checked out this cool old junk yard. Wish we would have gotten there sooner as it was 15min before closing but the old guy running it let us hang out and check everything out

    Got to Roswell NM and got pulled over, had the original California plate and a temp plate for Georgia. Officer was cool and laughed when we told him what we were doing, his response was "you think this thing will make it?". Got some food and camped somewhere outside town

    Thought I'd share my journey, which started about 3 years ago. Bought this 73' Dart Sport, https://barnfinds.com/something-special-1973-dodge-dart/, as a parts car for my 72' Duster. After robbing the goodies I needed for my big block swap such as the Kmember I modified thanks to Jim Lusk I...

    Yep that's what mine looked like too! Going from no tunes to great sounding music makes such a difference driving the car lol. Just finished up my install. I cut the original plug off my AM stereo and bought new J hook connectors and soldered em on the new stereo harness so it still uses the...

    Its mounted in the factory location where the stock 4x10" speaker went under the dash. I just traced the speaker bracket onto the aluminum plate, eyeballed where I wanted the new speakers,traced them also, and used a 4" holesaw to cut holes. There is guy on here that used to or still is selling...
