I agree, never been a fan of fuel in the trunk. it is fun to build something like this I always learn a few things for the next one. Right about the small brakes on the big diameter rims, but just cannot get my old school head around the 19" and 20" rims on our 60 and 70's hot rods. Guess I'm...

the unmistakable sounds of a Hemi! It stands out like a sore peter. No offense to Peters.

room for tailpipes

Cuda OEM fuel tank mount and installed Cuda tank

i like to isolate the shock by utilizing removable rubber bushings held in place with set screws

tires fit....

more mock-up this week-end

Dart looks great. Been a fan of the 4-speeds for over 5 decades. Having an automatic in a hot rod like the Dart is like sex with a condom. You get there....just not as much fun.

1/4" vent hose, not as thick as fuel line. and doesn't need to be because there is no pressure on it. A tension clamp is a good idea on both ends

you might want to put a drain hose on the radiator overflow fitting and route it pointing to the the ground. If it happens to build pressure and releases, it will be spraying all over your pretty Hemi.

who likes big brakes?. these are IMO ....overkill for this project.

glad to see you made it back A-ok. I'm sure Sean told you.....Hemis are inherently cold blooded, even with a choke (not sure if you have any?), let it warm up sufficiently. And be careful on those street tires, mashing the gas in about any gear can and likely will spin you out. enjoy the ride...

and finish up the transmission mount

back to mock-up, making sure the big stuff still fits before moving on the the small chit.

I learned it from a guy that uses pizza boxes for his creeper.

rear 31.5 tall tires have a sectional width of 15-1/2" .....should be good with 1-1/2 plus on each side of the tires.

'Cuda fuel tank.....high and tight.

more mock up.....working my way to the back. Went with a Strange 9" w/ 3.25 gear. Originally planned for a Strange S-60 but the lowest gear available was a 3:55 this combo will put Butch at 1820 rpm at 70mph with the .75 overdrive engaged............@ 5200 rpm he will hit 200 mph. SHAZAM!!!!!

.......will there be a lunch flip involved?

I'm still grinnin'......and it as more than a decade ago.

I saw them sketched on a cocktail napkin at Somma's Pizza / Plum, PA a while back. They are for coil springs but the pivot points is what were needed. They will work A-OK for making a jig to fabricate the next step.....mock-up LCA arms.

I'm sure it will get an exhibition pass somewhere. Butch is itching to go 200 mph.(again). Me, my (pucker) limit would be somewhere around 150.

I'm guessing .....55K 25K in labor 20K in parts 5K machine work 5K misc / hotels / fuel / travel your time....priceless

mock-up is my favorite time of year!

Thanks, and I see they have a bright red option. I'll be ordering color samples. Butch likes a tan, I'm a fan of the bright (porno) red, matching the bright red exterior scheme reminiscent of his 73 Pro Stock Duster. There will not be any silver on the car like the rendering, what appears to be...

Looks like you already started on the fix. .....accelerate to plan B

The plan, which I am already azz deep into, is a street strut using the SN95 spindles and QA1 Mustang strut. Numerous reasons why... but this was my best solution. I basically adapted 96-04 OEM Mustang geometry to my front subframe. The $100 OEM Mustang arms are used make a jig for building a...

over time, the project switched from 4-speed w/ GV to the OEM 8HP90 8-speed to (hopefully final answer) the TCI 6X Gen III / Outlaw shifter (automatic) package. Butch worked with TCI on the converter specs. We liked the transmission gear selection with a .75 overdrive. It does fit the OEM...

with the arrival of the 6-speed auto and the Hellcat / Road Runner build at the body shop back, time to get back on the HDK / Geni III / Whipple / Butch Leal resto-mod.

Hate to have to be the one to break it to you, but your journey has only begun. Oh, you can check out anytime you like....but now, you can never leave.
