It looks much better now with the front end aligned and the ride height in the front set, I'm going to raise the rear an inch to get my headers to clear a lot better

Update: Got my car back from my buddies shop with the bushings installed, wheels aligned, brakes setup and a few odds and ends checked out. Car drives GREAT! I picked up a shackle to raise the rear up to help with header clearance as well. I added a PCV over the weekend and drilled a few holes...

I figure its time to start a thread for your viewing pleasure and to help me keep up with what I've been doing to my other toys. Over this past weekend I got both my trucks out and cleaned them up good, clay bar and waxed them and polished the chrome some. Just a precleaning for the spring...

Update: The guy I bought my Dart from come and bought my Duster parts car to give his race car a new life. His needed all the body panels and glass from the Duster. Looks like that old Duster is going to live on in more than one car! Hopefully Ill be going to pick up my Dart Sport today or...

Thanks fella's. My plans are to get all the mechanicals sorted out and do a little driving then pull my calipers and drums and paint them red. By the end of the summer I'll be runnin new rolling stock with 235 or 245s all the way around as well as front and rear sway bars. Progress: I took it...

Im not much on a body color engine bay. I like the late model black look myself.

Over the past weekend, we made a ton of progress and got it back on the road. It drives though not really good just yet. We are taking it to a shop to have the bushings installed, the A/C hooked up and the suspension aligned. Friday...7:00pm we start in again We decided to pull the valve...

Ive got even more parts in! I've been too caught up at my archery shop and bowfishing with the guys from there to open it all up and see. Saturday I may crack some of them open and just see what I've got! I cant wait to get it back going, the weather is getting just about perfect!

Now that sounds like a sharp idea LH, once I get the big parts of my project complete Ill for sure be getting that eye sore of a gas cap my Dart has touched up. Its always bothered me how it looks on there. Im not sure what shade red my car is, was told it was Viper Red but you know how that...

Thanks guys! I wish my parts car was in decent shape but the pictures dont show the destroyed quarter panel or the sheer amount of rust on the rear half of the body. The doors, fenders, all the glass, trim, and the front bumper are in great shape though. The grille is in great shape as well...

In the past 48 hours, me, my dad and my grandpa have pulled two engines, one transmission, 2 rear ends, 2 complete front ends and put them both all back together except for the engine back into the Dart. Now here comes the mother load of pictures to illustrate this project so far: Starting at...

I should have quite a few body panels left after Im done, it turns out my Duster is a 74 Gold Duster. It still has Gold Duster on the sides! Pretty cool I thought. Im hoping for better gear than what my Dart has in a bad way too!

I now have my parts Duster and my Dart in the shop! Tomorrow Ill be checking to see if the engine will turn over, pull it and the trans out. Then swap sides with the two and steal the rear end and rear springs from the Duster and put it in my Dart. Also going to check out the condition of...

Its been quite a while since I updated this, wow! Anyways, I found a 73 Duster parts car for the disc brake and suspension swap. It has everything there except the interior is completely gone. Everything is under the car and under the hood. I stole the radiator from it and fan for my car last...

Updates at last! I made alot of progess on my Dart this past weekend. I was making the rounds Saturday night and the radio that came with the car gave up the ghost. I made a mad dash to Walmart and picked up a nice Pioneer head for 69.99. I swapped it in and viola! Now I have Mp3 and CD...

It did start life as a /6 car. Luckily it doesn't have a trace of rust I could find anywhere including the usual places. Sadly its the small bolt pattern with adapters for the 4.5in bolt pattern. I figure the rear end will hold up but if I get ahold of a parts car with the other rear end I'll...

I bought a '74 Dart Sport last Saturday after looking high and low for the perfect one since I was 12. It has a 318, 904 trans, 2.76s in a 7 1/4 rearend, aftermarket power seats and A/C and a set of new Cragars on it. I paid $3k for it which is a bit more than I wanted to pay considering what...

Very nice for a first car! It looks pretty solid, get those drums off the front to go to disc and make her stop real good and you'll be set. I bought my first A-body Saturday. Im 19 myself, being young is great!
