Finally got some paint on it last weekend and put the tires and body parts on. Looks good runs good. :coffee2:

Did a little blocking and skimming with glazeing compound. I haven't done anything this week I've had the "crud". My fever broke this afternoon and I feel a lot better. I was surfing FABO and got excited, I went out and did a little sanding and a little bit of skimming and took a few pic's...

After a few weeks of body work and sanding a few hours at a time. Got it washed, dusted and masked. Got 1 coat of high build primer on today I was whooped and it was getting late so I cleaned up snapped some pic's and called it a day. I'll get another coat on Monday if all goes well. Then...

Thanks for the flex brake line idea. I liked the way you painted the black on the duster. I think I'll do mine like that with blk hood grill bumpers deck lid and rear panel, and go with cobalt blue on the sides and roof.

Prepped the under side of hood and trunk lid, primered and painted satin black. Modified trunk hinge supports off of a 68 valliant to bolt onto package tray, perfect fit, will use gas struts instead of torsion rods. Header wrap compleated, headers mounted, brakes compleated with firm pedal.

Finally got around to plumbing the brake lines, line lock, proportioning valve, master cylinder, hooked into the front lines and to the rear wheel cylinders. The front master brake line looks close to the header tube in the Picture but it's got 1 1/4" from the line and the bottom of master to...

I blasted and painted the inside of the front fenders, hood hinges the radiator support and mounted back on the dart. Blocked the antenna, side markers, side trim and top indicater light holes on the fenders.

Well here are a few pic's of the front end all put together. I took the front all back apart so I can do some finish welding, body work and paint, I'll post some more pic's as I go along. :thumbup: sorry about the finger icon on earlier posts I thought it was a double thumbs up #-o.

Since the last post I have set the pinion angle, measured for the drive shaft and had it built, welded the spring perches in place. Took out the 741 3.55 sure grip and installed the 742 case 3.91 gears and spool. Installed the new drive shaft. I decided to do away with the worn out...

Well! I fired up the engine today, did the cam break-in, now I have to put the inner valve springs in and finish up the rest of the Dart. Here are some pic's of the engine as it looked at fire up.

Did a bit more these last few days. I wired the engine and switches inside car. Put a gallon of trans fluid in and pushed the mufflers onto the collector reducers. Had to pull the plugs and change the gap, MSD instructions say to run the gap between .040 and .050 I had to change them from...

I'm Leaning to Kolbalt Blue for paint. Here are pic's of the work I did the other day.

I got a little shop time in and made some brackets and mounted the MSD 6A, coil and battery trunk mount. I ran the cables for the battery, and started some engine bay wiring. I need to get some switches, fuse block and relays for my power distribution. I'll post some more pic's soon.

I think the Demon/Sport is a good looking breed. I like resto/mods they change things up a bit. I look forward to see your progress.

Well it finally warmed up nice and I got a little work done on the dart. I installed the trans lines and cooler, there is an 1 1/2" air space above the trans cooler It should get plenty of air back there, If it runs hot I'll put a fan on it and lower it another 2". I finally mounted the fuel...

pm sent to mopar65

Here are some pic's of the rear end. I didn't paint the axle tube where I need to weld the spring mounts. I haven't set the pinion angle yet. These are mopar SS springs. I still need the mopar drag shocks and pinion snubber. I did get the 3.91 ring and pinion and need to install them with...

Oh yes good eye. I'll use the fram filter for the break in, then use the black Wix filter. :finga: I'm going out to the shop in a bit and plan to finish the water pump radiator and fan install and see how close it all fits. I'll post some pic's tonight.

I received my water pump, fan and radiator this week. I ordered the CVS electric water pump it is the shortest one that I could find the spec's on, it is a very dependable high output unit. I ordered the Griffin 22"x19" 2 rows of 1.25" tubes for superior cooling. also a 3000 cfm low profile...

I reinforced the rubber crossmember mount with some old head bolts and washers. The trans shouldn't pull loose from the crossmember now. I removed the small plastic fuel cell cut a little out of the floor for the outlet, placed the 16 gallon aluminum cell on a cut to size rubber floormat for...

I had the houseing and Dutchman axles built to 44.75" axle flange to flange. There is 18.5" of room for the tire in the fenderwells, it has M/T ET DRAG 29.5x13.5x15 tires that fit real nice. :finga:

Spent some time in the shop the last few days, adjusted the valves bolted down the intake, the carburetor mount holes need helicoils, the headers fit great after messaging the bottom left and right corners of the firewall with a BFH. The tires rubb the headers a little bit when I turn the...

Been out with the crudd, havent got much done. My comp custom cam came back after having the front journal fixed. I didn't think I would see it this soon thats why I threw in the MP528, so I took out the 528 and installed the custom cam, EDM solid lifters My 440 Source push rods, Isky adj...

Well I got the tranny on, installed motor and trans bolted to cross member and fabbed the elephant ears mount. Working on getting the headers to fit. Waiting on my push rods and rocker shaft spacers to come in. The intake carb and valve covers are just set in place to see how it looks. Its'...
