Thanks for the comments. I picked the car up in Calgary... and I already sold the hood, scoops, seats, and rad. I know what you mean about the freeway... I have 4.11 gears and they are totally useless. Right now I'm getting the car ready for the booth. It's dying the shed the two layers of...

Thanks... hey you're in Alberta as well... I'm in Edmonton. Funny thing about that story is that my car was also yellow... not exactly my favorite color on these cars. Thanks for the welcome.

Thanks. That car has an insane amount of custom fab work done to it, particularly with the engine. I actually designed that body kit as well. Here is a complete writeup if you're interested: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2949110

No worries... trust me, I am the last guy you will find bolting on some nasty spoiler. I try to do everything in good taste... but that does still mean my taste. I like my cars to be clean... door handles draw your attention to that point too easily. It should flow nicely without interruption...

Good eye. The blower was installed and the car was re-painted in 1980. I started on polishing the blower... but it is a lot of work.

Two things I care very little about. :snakeman: Thanks for the tip for the bar... I'll check them out.

That comment means that I am from a younger generation from most of the people on here, and in my car culture... big wheels, shaved handles, etc, are king. One of my other cars for instance is a 505hp (dynod) BMW Turbo... it's a totally different type of car... small motor, big turbo, fuel...

Actually.. funny you mention that... I do need to put a roll bar in it. I don't want to do a cage. I picked up some black leather racing seats for the car... they are a Recaro style seat, so they don't look super Japanese or anything. The seats in it now are in pretty rough shape anyways. The...

Whos culture.... yours or mine?

I love the paint... looks great. I'm also going green... but probably a bit more pale. What sort of paint do you have on there?

So basically what you are saying is that because you don't agree with my taste in style, I must not be very smart, and my build is "bad"? What I will say is that your well thought out comments do depict your intelligence. There is not a right way or a wrong way, there are just different...

lol... well in this case it would be more accurate to say that I am going to "Weld it up!!!!!" :-D

I like 20s because I think that they look better. I suppose you would not like the 24s on my truck? There are other advantages... they are more responsive to steering input due to lack of sidewall flex... they will also allow me to install 16" brakes. Sure I want my car to handle good... but...

No I like the twenties. I have 6 vehicles, three with large wheels... I know what they are like. If you like centerlines so much you can buy mine... Small bolt pattern with bias plys on the back.

Yes, you and I share the same reasoning. I definitely do admire survivor cars... but that being said, I wouldn't want one. I want a car that is faster, stops better, and handles better. I want something that I can say... I made that... that's why I bought it. Thanks... that's what I thought...

No it is not mini tubbed. I'm running 255.35.20 in the rear at the moment. I used a 35mm offset wheel and bolt on 1" spacers. The front did not require spacers, even with that offset.

Any recommendations on a set? The only ones that I saw wanted me cut holes in the floor pan. Not really into that.

Sadly it does not.. and I agree with you. However.... this car will never see slicks.

Thank you. A good forum is always one of the best ways to learn about a car.

I have all 4 chrome wheels, but I'm waiting for the bolt adapters to show up for the back. I'm not into small wheels, sorry.. but that's a taste thing. You'd love the 24s on my truck. lol. The billet wheels it came with do not fit right... the tires rub like crazy. It gets a lot of attention...

well this is retarded... every time I post anything, it doesn't show up.

I am here to talk about cars, not my personal life. Please ruin some other thread. Nope. The tag has been removed. Nice thought but nah... too much worked involved in that. I have other projects and work 6days wk 12hr days... I just don't have time to start from scratch. This one has the...

Well I posted a reply with photos but it says that the moderator has to approve it?

Hey Guys, I recently bought a 1970 Dart Swinger. It does have the 340, and the VIN tag decodes to a 340 car. It is not stock... it was originally a manual car, but a 4 speed has been swapped in. The car was repainted from yellow to maroon... still using the same block but it has J heads...
