I have officially stalled on the project for a while..... I will definetly be going the RMS route, though I will be ordering early fall. I have run into a few hiccups: 1. More rust on the chassis than anticipated = much more surgery 2. The vehicle will be moved from my 2 car garage...

BUT..... For handling purposes this allows more weight in the center of the vehicle. This moves some unsprung weight, and items weighted at 50% unsprung weight back 1-2" and by doing so transfers sprung weight forward offering better front to rear balance. This is slight, but any amount helps...

I need to find a B-body housing and axles. Unless I am lucky enough to find someone local that wants to trade an A-body diff drum to drum for a B-body diff drum to drum.

I had better clarify a few things for the build of the rear suspension. This will be a triangulated 4-Link with mini tubs. Hopefully this combination will afford the most possible clearance without going to a full tub. I will have from the frame rail to the lip of the quarter panel/wheel tub -...

http://sjvhk.jabzm.servertrust.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FST-F14 This would be the wheel I think I would go with. I saw a set on a Factory Five GTM and I love them. The Offset I feel could be tailored just enough to make everything work (RMS Front + whatever works in the rear)...

The discussion of B-Body differentials seems widely discussed, and an excellent option for A-Bodies looking at go to a positive offset wheel. Has anyone gone to a C-Body differential, added Disc Brakes, and oversize positive offset wheels? I have, or pretty much Bill at RMS will have the...

The only major stipulation I would like to maintain is no cage. I will reinforce everything, weld anything, but at this point no cage. Who knows, I may change my mind as I get deeper in the build. All I can think of when I see a street car with a cage is the flashy "Pro Street" cars of the...

There will also be a massive reduction in weight from use of aluminum and fiberglass throughout the build. Fiberglass: Hood Trunk Fenders Bumpers Inner fenders (custom) Dash (custom) Aluminum: Heads Intake Water Pump Water Pump Housing Radiator Suspension: RMS Front...

I will be doing a significant amount of additions/revisions to the body of my Dart through the course of the build and would like to know materials used/recommended by others. The majority of what I would consider to be the minimum of structurally sound as reinforcement materials is as...

Perfect! Just wanted to make sure you had received it, since I had given you the incorrect email address when we spoke. Ponder away!

Bill, I had sent you an email through RMS, did it work? I realized I had given you a work email / home email hybrid, I barely use my personal email unless I am expecting something.

Scampman416, any update here?

Since I am going to use Bill's front end, what do I do with the old stuff? Vehicle 1969 Dodge Dart What is it worth? It's a true 340 K-Member with Manual Box, complete, but will need Rebuild/Resto......... Just Curious, as I think I am going to list it locally. Should I offer service to...

I finally spoke to Bill today, and I am quite eager.......... Updates to follow................................................... :toothy5:

Bill, I definately know where you are coming from regarding the fiberglass. That was some advise I took as soon as it was received, and is in another thread on here (or on BBD or PT, I can't remember). I did order ALL items listed from AAR Fiberglass, and ordered regular weight items, with...

Didn't have a chance to call Bill yesterday, I didn't end up home until 11:30 last night. I will call next week, as soon as my projects (work; I wish it was the car) start to close. I'm out of town own Monday, tomorrow is Father's Day, and today I need to go to a few project sites, meet...

As far as the upper control arm mounts; factory located/installed vs. Modified, if the vehicle is set at 5" ride height at K-Member to mantain correct geometry would the mount not also need to move up 2"? The upper ball joint would be near binding at rest wouldn't it? Again this is all based...

As far as front spring rate, based on approximate coil location and materials used for build I have thought around 500-550#. Unless someone has the front end weight with the follows changes: 1969 Dart (body) Fiberglass Hood Fiberglass Fenders Fiberglass Bumper Inner Fender Fiberglass...

Bill, pleased to meet you! You are speaking my language, and I shall call next week (I hope, depends on how my days unravel). Might be best To offer my wants vs. needs that way, and you can ask me what you need from me as far as vehicle intentions and surrounding components.

DAMN THE IPAD! I just lost a few paragraphs, and opted to actually go to my computer now....... I have spend many hours looking ar reviews, threads, and design of various manufacturers front suspension systems. The cost of Mopar front suspension systems seems to be a touchy subject over...

I have been combing the web and forums I am a member of, and there are many convoluted threads on suspension theory. Autoxcuda & Swisswill, thank you for your chime in. Let's throw out the thought of "Mopar Suspension" specifically for a moment, and make a simple list for a vehicle front...

Sorry for the short post regarding the desires if the package, but I'm using an iPad not my computer. Typin on this thing is horrible. I am experienced enough to tackle any of the 3 options, this will not be a a hack installation. The car is a shell, and will remain so until it is actually...

Jrsjea, this is the approximate ride height I am looking for. The ideal "at rest" would be a clearance of 5" - 5 1/2" from the ground to the bottom of the k-member. With about 3 1/2" - 4" of total suspension travel, meaning 1/2 the distance in either direction from a static position...

I am curious as to the ride height and capabilities of the AlterKtion front end suspension/k-member system. My 1969 Dart will be built as a extremely capable street car, that may/could be involved in track days. I am VERY interested in the AlterKtion system for the front end, but I am...

Should this be in the Body or Restoation section instead of here?

I would like to take the plunge and buy a rotisserie, but there are a few minor items I need clarified before I do so. If anyone could help with the following information it would be greatly appreciated. 1. Does anyone know (or could someone measure) the length of a 67-75 Dart from the radiator...
