No biggie, I am ready to bend my front bars and have been kicking it around. The way yours is is the best front fitment I've seen yet on a Dart. It's hard to picture how the dash will fit without it in.
Car is really coming along and looks great! Im building a cage now for my Dart and was planning to run my A-pillar bars exactly like yours, do you have any pics of them without the dash in? Also with a crossbar between them, can you still fit factory column and brake/clutch pedal box/bracket? I...
Damn man, that is some awesome taste in guitar flavor man. I thought my Strat was cool, now I realize it so NOT special lol! I go for tone anyway, but if I could have a Jem in that swirled out funky wood, it might be my last guitar lol.
TIME, I dont have enough. Love the build, if it was mine and I wanted a light weight stip killer, I would skip the upper control arms and just go to a strut setup. Way simpler and flat works. Where in Nebraska are you? Im in North Platte.
I just swapped the neck on my MIM Strat for a Maple Mity Mite neck. Its like a new guitar now. Im no guitar builder but I am happy with my first dive into Frankensteining my axes. A knotty Maple SG will be unreal.
You have a great build going! I recommend 18's all the way around though. It just allows for more backspacing in the front so you dont have to compromise in width.
My plan for next winter is to maybe just buy a complete Jeep XJ front lower control arm and cut it in half and however much of it as I need and just weld each of the "halves" to my K frame with the stock rubber bushings intact. Then just make brackets from my engines ears to clamp to the...
This build gives off some bitchen ideas, Thanks! What are you using for bushings in the motor mounts? Ive been thinking of using some Jeep XJ lower control arm bushings.
Love the Val Wagon man! What a score! There are so many thing you can do to that thing that are cool its amazing. What does one of those weigh? im guessing 3300lbs?
Cool its good to see what stumbling blocks people have so I know what to expect when the time comes. I appreciate the documentation. Now if someone would build one without the Pinto front ends.
