Christmas break and moving my car and tools to a new place but figured I would show the hood scoop I've been making for the car It needs to be finished and welded yet but here's how it looks. Was a lot more complicated than I at first...

    Also, does anyone have pictures of darts with any old school hood scoops or chin spoilers? I'm getting ready for an advanced sheetmetal class where we get to work on whatever we want, so I am coming in to make my own hood scoop and chin spoiler... I'm wondering if it would work putting some road...

    Okay so lately I've been going through finals week and not working on the car much but figured I would give an update. The motor is ready to come out because, as you guys know, the project never stops. A freeze plug decided to start leaking so I have to pull it and while it's out I'm converting...

    So I've been doing good on the car. Got the fenders block sanded and taken off. I'm going to do the shell now just real quick block since I'm not painting it for awhile, but I have a problem with the trunk hinges.

    Exactly what I was going for! And I'm not actually going to paint this with automotive paint. Either with a cheaper primer (since I already have nice coats of epoxy and 2k) or tractor paint (I used it on my engine bay and its still great looking)

Right across the...

    Young Gun's 72 Swinger

    Okay so i was wondering, lately I've really been wanting to put in a four speed, what other transmissions can mate up to a 318? How much is the conversion by just gathering them all? My current trans is going to need some seals and an aluminum pan so I was thinking just that money there and I...

    My 1972 Dodge Dart

    Hey check out my project for some mini tub information! If I were in your shoes I would get a stock wheel well, cut the floor to the frame and put in a piece around 3 inches. I think that would be cheaper and its great welding experience for some confidence in ya!

    Young Gun's 72 Swinger

    Yes sir! The lift is great and I'm always using it, but it was a job convincing my dad that I'll have the spring relocation done within a week. He always thinks he needs the lift open but in reality there hasn't been many other cars on it other than mine:wack:

    Okay so these last few days I've been working on trimming the extra strips from the mini tubs and welding up the quarters. Many years ago there must have been an accident as the car is pushed in at many sides, and the rocker was covered in putty and both quarters got a skin riveted over top. I...
